The full story
BREncoder began as the poster's way of cleaning up VHS tape captures and getting them onto Blu-ray. Over four months with Claude it grew from about 2,600 to 108,000 lines of code. He says he reverse engineered the Blu-ray and UHD specs, wrote a custom UDF ISO writer and wrapped ffmpeg with filters and disc authoring.
It can import from file, stream or hardware capture, run video and audio filters and author straight to disc in one program, with 15 codecs and 17 output formats. A demo video is linked in the post.
