RARBG encodes are known for being "lean." They prioritize a watchable, clean image that fits into a predictable file size, usually ranging from 1.5GB to 2.5GB for a full-length feature film. They achieve this by using a Constant Rate Factor (CRF) approach combined with specific tuning for grain and motion. Core Encoding Parameters
| Group | File Size (Avg Movie) | Quality | Audio | Grain Retention | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | ~2GB - 4GB | High (Good Value) | Lossy (DD+) | Low (Cleaned) | | YIFY/YTS | ~1GB - 2GB | Low/Medium | AAC 2.0 | None | | ** Tigole / UTR** | ~2GB - 5GB | Very High | AAC/DD+ | Medium/High | | Pahe.in | ~500MB - 1.5GB | Medium | AAC/OPUS | Low | | Remux Groups | 20GB+ | Lossless | DTS-HD/Atmos | Full Source |
RARBG typically configured their automated encoding pipelines to use preset slow . This allowed for superior motion estimation and more efficient allocation of bits compared to the medium or fast settings used by lesser release groups.
