I did create a fine version of ‘What About Bob (1991). I removed Handbrake Version 1.0.1 and backed up. You always had to enable Advanced Tab in two places and I guess for some people having Advanced a little harder to find may in fact be a GOOD IDEA! I assure you if you will stick to my settings nothing in the Advanced tab will get you into trouble - guaranteed or your money back. The two versions of Handbrake are ‘almost’ identical. A suite full of test equipment may confuse an issue that your eyeballs could sort out in moments. You might like them, but you will have to use your eyeballs to make what is surely a ‘judgement call’. I can tell you that 8 reference frames is a load of fresh and exceptionally fragrant horse nuggets, because that will refuse to direct play on at least two of my devices at 1080p. I can not comment on settings someone else thinks are ‘good for me’ (ever heard of Plex?), when I have already decided what is ‘good for me’ and the devices in my lineup. I fully expect the same, reliable direct playable material I always get with my settings above. I loaded an HD job I have ‘On Deck’ into my trusty Profile I created only a moment before, checked what I normally check (cropping, audio, etc - also noted above), changed the bit rate to 2400kbps (because this piece of junk I’m working on barely even deserves that much), pressed Start and in about 90 minutes we’re going to find out how it did. They Lie as they try to sway you from the path of righteousness in the quest to become one with your visual material! (lol) I share (or try to) with you that which I have already found as the undeniable truth. I have trodden this steep, mountainous path before ye. I do not have to run endless tests for a suitable constant quality setting and pray for success. I blow right by them and attack the meat and potatoes in the Advanced tab. As I explained in unbelievably painful detail above I do not use those kindergarden ‘speed’ settings. I kept closing them until I reached ‘Legacy’ and quickly created a User Preset to match the images above and saved a new User Preset. Yes, I saw the new interface and all those useless ‘profiles’ in the right pane. Version 0.10.5.0 can easily be downloaded here: With ALL versions after 0.10.5.0 it is impossible to create a file from DVD at 480p for use in Plex that properly reports it’s resolution. It is written for a Handbrake version that is no longer acceptable for that task. I installed that hunk of junk on my other terminal and to my horror they have removed Custom Anamorphic Settings for all versions after 0.10.5.0 My guide is for creating material that will work well with Plex. A typical movie on either of my machines takes between 1.5 to 2 hours which I’m perfectly fine with. I’m also using 2-pass with the first pass being turbo ABR 4000kbps VBR. I’m using the"Slower" setting with profile 4.1 and that translates into 8 Reference Frames for a 480p DVD conversion. Maybe you could just chime in about these new options. Plus in the next few months I will be moving to a home that has FiOS! So 300/300Mbps will allow for upstreaming at pretty much whatever quality users said: So that’s why I’m trying to match the “bitrate per pixel” quality of Blu-ray for my DVD re-codes. The only reason I don’t use the original MKV with DVD’s is because of what I said previously. So since Blu-ray is already H.264, and all my local playback devices can play the high bitrate, I use them in their original form. So creating a second lower bitrate version of the same movie only uses more disk space in my case. Film, Animation, etc.Īlso, I keep ALL my original MKV’s. When I said DVD filters what I meant was X264 tunes. I also have a lot of trouble watching a 30Mbps stream on my phone at the doctor’s offfice through my 6Mbps upload speed. Then the first thing that happens is Plex transcodes it down to about 5Mbps and I just laaaaaugh and laugh. ‘Hey man, I’ve simply got to have that original quality!’ I can get a whole lot more 3.5 gig movies on disk than I can 30 giggers and if I can’t see the difference - what the hey? I’m busting the snot out of Free State of Jones right now down from the 30 gig original MakeMKV rip through Handbrake at 3500Kpbs and they’ll both look exactly the same to me. I love creating Blu Ray rips at less than a quarter the size and bit rate and not be able to see one bit of difference. My exact settings are painfully detailed at that link complete with pictures at the bottom. VBR… always, with an average bit rate, always.
