![]() ![]() ![]() If you're happy with the results of the much smaller encodes, you can turn the encode settings into custom presets to simplify batch encoding.įeel free to try higher or lower video bit rates. You'll then know what you gain or lose by reducing file sizes. On 40-minute episodes, a video bit rate of 1000 and AAC audio, same as above, will create roughly a 400 MB encode file.Īgain, compare a H264 encode with an H265 encode and decide if the H265 encode is worth the extra encoding time.Ī bitrate of 1500 is as small as I'd ever go for a 720p TV episode, and 1000 for a DVD version.Īs you've already run encodes creating much larger files, I'd suggest encoding the same episode, and you can then compare your much larger encodes with the far smaller encodes created by the above settings. The H265 encode will take much longer to encode, but 'should', for the same file size, look superior to the H264 encode.įor DVD TV shows, use the exact same presets as above (Handbrake won't upscale), but set the bit rate to 1000. On a 40-minute episode, the above settings will create roughly a 500 MB encode file. Do NOT set framerate to constant.Įncode the same episode twice, once using the H264 preset, then again using the H265 preset. Leave the frame rate on 30 and peak (it's same default for both presets). Audio tab, Codec AAC, bitrate 256, Mixdown Stereo Video tab, tick Avg bit rate, enter 1500 in bitrate box, 2 Pass encode tick, turbo first pass tick. H264 Handbrake Preset - HQ 720p 30 Surround Two 720p encodes, one H264, the other H265. I assume, as you've already done some encoding, you've used MakeMKV or similar to create MKV source files that you load into Handbrake? If yes, see below.įor Blu-ray TV shows, I'd suggest the following tests. What are your sources (Blu-ray, downloaded files etc.) and what are you encoding to playback on? The downside is it takes much longer to encode, and the results can be poor if the file size is too low. To encode to a predefined file size, use two-pass average bit rate encoding and then enter the bit rate value that will give you the encode file size you need. ![]() A constant quality encode lets you choose the image quality level you want and Handbrake, will encode to that level, the file size you will only know at the end. If your goal is to create 720p encodes of a specific file size, a constant quality encode is not designed to do that. Encoding different films for example, but using the same RF number will create different size encodes, some smaller, some larger. With a constant quality RF encoding, the source file determines the final file size relative to the RF number you choose. Increasing the RF number will increase compression, which in turn will reduce the file size and, as a natural trade-off, also reduce the picture quality. ![]()
