If you have a movie about 2 hours long, YUY2 1920x1080 @~24fps, it will take about 300GB encoded with UTVideo.

UTV ratio is only 4x on YUY2? Wow, I thought it was significantly higher. I wonder how some of the newer codecs would do then...

As I realise you said 2 hour movie. I know 720p YV12 is 500MB/minute so I suppose it makes sense.

I just realized that the file is RGB24 and not YUY2 (the Blu-ray source was YUY2). Since I have the info readily available, the file is 292GB, 1916x1040, FILM rate, and 1 hour 55 minutes.

You got a BD source that wasn't YV12? That sure isn't allowed in the spec!

Filesize looks weird though, 1916x1040p24 for 6900 seconds is only 921GB in fully uncompressed RGB, if I recall math correctly. 24:00 of 1280x720p24 however is 45GB of uncompressed YV12 and 11GB of YV12 UTV, which makes the ratio seem significantly higher for planar formats than RGB, which I know is not the case. So what went wrong? Possibly older UTV encoder.
