So for me, I'm quite happy with the 'Android' preset with the items I discussed above. When I played Avatar vs 1280 I could not tell the difference. Hey, so you got me curious to do some side by side comparisons on bitrates/sizes/encoding times between using a stock Handbrake preset and Dons scripts. I’ve been re-encoding movies as a project this year. Select that and check the 'Forced Only' box, and your subtitles will show up when needed.Īs for the various presets, here are the file sizes I got for Avatar: Saving Private Ryan at the same settings is almost double the size of the raw Blu Ray file. On the Subtitles tab select Add, and then look for 'Foreign Audio Scan'. For this area I would also recommend having the Resolution Limit set equal to the content you are reencoding. This means, you loss part of the frame of the show and tv.

If you have subtitles that are part of the movie like Avatar, X-Men: First Class and even Paul, you can get those real easy now on Handbrake. This is a personal preference but out the box handbrake on all presets autocrops. One final thing I do, is a trick I learned from some the Handbrake gurus. I'm converting 'Paul' in both options to see if there's a difference. Under the Video tab, I change the Framerate to 'Same as Source'. Its supported by most MKV/MP4 capable devices such as Blu-ray players, TVs with built in media players, DXVA (PC hardware decoding) etc. Mind you, this specific method only works with nVidia GPUs due to using NVEncC64. You can of course change them if you wish, regardless of the Handbrake preset youre using, but h264s High Profile, Level 4.1 is pretty standard these days. I use another method of transcoding 4k BluRay, particularly due to also transcoding some Dolby Vision movies. As support improves, this option will likely become default in future versions of HandBrake.' Of course, I'm trying to keep my videos less than 4G, so it's probably not necessary.ģ. 10-bit source -> 8-bit in internal Handbrake pipeline to video encoder (-> 10-bit padding output if choosing 10-bit version of either x264 or x265). Enabling this option will force HandBrake to use 64-bit chunk offset atoms (co64), however some devices do not support this. This means that if the file grows above 4GB, it will be rendered useless.

This is Handbrakes FAQ on this: 'By Default, HandBrake outputs MP4 files with 32-bit chunk offset atoms (stco). Note: I'm using a nightly build Handbrake, as it supports converting from my Blu-Ray rips off of my RAID drive.ġ. It's taken a while for me to get back to getting my movies on the One, but I think I've found a decent balance for quality/filesize.
