Re: Ideal 4k settings for media player
That's simply not possible with two vastly different encoders. There is almost no correlation between settings and relative results. If you're going to work in Handbrake, start with an appropriate preset, don't try to imitate FCPX h264, and feel free to share your workflow once your settled in with ...

Re: 1280 vs 720
1280x533 is not HD unless it is encoded on a >=720 pixels high screen aspect. Player screen size doesn't mean jack.
Why are you needing smaller files? Drive space is running $20/TB.
Personally I would leave it alone at 1920x800 (2.4 aspect) and leave out the AC3 audio.

Re: File sizes
For average bitrate,
Bitrate (Mbps) x Time (sec) x .125 = File Size MB)
You must add in the audio stream size and leave room for a little cushion.

Re: convert Mini Dv to MP4
Set your Canon to digital passthrough and capture over FireWire 1394, using Scenealyzer, which can still be found.
That is the best way possible.

Re: So Which one is better?
"Better" just doesn't happen past a certain point we like to call "optimal." Both of your choices may overshoot "optimal" by a significant margin, causing inflated file sizes and/or ridiculous rendering times. There is no instruction book for settings, so your eyes and the collective experience of o...

Re: Adudio out of sync
Your video is a transport stream, and the most common cause is dropped frames from stream errors. Post your logs. As extreme as your case sounds, even VideoRedo (or Subler for Mac)may not correct it 100%, but it's your best shot.

The theoretical bitrate factor is (1280x720) / (1920x1080) = ?
Not real-world, but close.

Re: CPU advice needed for x265 encoding
I believe the number of cores/threads is important up to a point.
Six is kind of in a sweet spot, and I've seen tests from friends where encoding actually slows down past eight cores.

Re: How to select 5.1 audio over stereo?
Don't encode the stereo stream.
If needed by a non-surround player, the stereo stream should downmix automatically from the 5.1.

Re: Encode with a constant bit rate
You can set bitrate and vbv-maxrate to the same value.
Since your source is with certainty vbr, encoding it to cbr will not make it better, just bigger.

Re: Newbie Youtube Video Question
YouTube videos are already over compressed. The only "acceptable" file size reduction would come through reducing frame dimensions, frame rate, or both, but not by reducing bitrate by itself.

Although Youtube does its own processing, this test offers a fair approximation of what is going on. I treat it as more of an annoyance than a bug. I will elevate it to Github, however.

Install an a/c in the room and a cpu that will dim the lights. A Blu-ray "collection" can quickly become an albatross around your neck if you need to convert the whole library.

Description of problem or question: A recent round of tests indicates that audio from PCM sources may lead the video stream by >=42 to <=47 milliseconds in the encode.
