Hi Joe L. Would it be an easy and quick excercise for you to help me out on how to modify your script to be recursive on say a hard coded path and always save the converted file in the same folder as the original iso was? Or that would be more difficult task to just quickly draft it down? Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, this could potentially work (I think), but the bigger problem is with the number of audio tracks. I want to preserve all, ie. if there is 2 or 3, then all 2 or 3, but of course a general command would needed in a batch process. Unfortunatelly if I set -a 1,2,3 then HB cli is exiting if the input file doesn't exactly has 3 tracks. Means you always have to give the correct number of tracks for this parameter which of course you don't know in a batch process. The scan first, then parse scan results approach was suggested on HB's irc channel, but my scripting knowledge is close to 0, so I am not able to accomplish this...

I've just started to look into reencode a lot bunch of documentary DVDs I have. @ClunkClunk, thank you for the precompiled packages. My origintal intent was to reencode all the DVDs to mkv with x.264 parameter and whatever quality, but I would like to preserve all the audio tracks in their original format (ie. keep them as they are). It seems that as there is no such parameter, it is not a simple task. I figured that the only way to do this is to do a scan first and then save and parse the output to set the correct number of tracks and formats during the encode. Have somebody experimented something like this yet? Thank you for the feedbacks.

Hi Joe L., I am wondering if it would be easy for you to include an option for completely wiping the disk instead of preclearing it. Or the preclearing method in it's current form can be used for this purposes? (but at least the readback seems unneccessary in this case) That would be extremly useful on a disk replacement, when the old disk is going to be sold out. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

The anti-vibration bay

Front.

A bigger look.

Well, unfortunatelly I don't have an own pic from the front, but it is this case: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Chassis/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2482 The drive bay was completely dremmeled out, together with the aluminium front of the case, because of the airflow. After that, a custom drivebay has been made and installed, which can hold 6 disks. I am not sure if they can be recognized, but there is 2 12cm fan attached from the front side.

This is how mine is looks now. Small factor and anti vibration is in main focus.
