HandBrake

So, for my purposes, a 10-bit gradient is visually identical to 14-bits or more." While I agree in principle with the article, and I have advocated 10 bits for YUV digital intermediates since I ran similar tests in 2011, I find that statement a bit of a stretch. Bit depth has more to do than just r...

Set to Decomb, Same as Source, and Normal preset. Nothing fancy needed.
PAL works fine on Plex.

The downscaling method employed should not affect quality. Only the downscaling itself.
Upscaling is another kettle of fish.

With downscaling it makes no appreciable difference. Generally speaking, export source from Vegas and do the work in Handbrake.
XAVC-I is a good export format from Vegas.

Nonsense.
Handbrake's downsampling and dithering algorithms are already the best in the business. Much better than commercial nonlinear editors. If you are seeing washed out colors, it is a REC 709 flag mismatch, and nothing else.

This is a known, persistent issue with many AVI in Handbrake. Audio leads video by 42 ms.

Carlo Macchiavello, Was very interested in your comments "...do you have a real 10 bit player..." Do you know a website that covers which 4K products have real 10 bit hardware? Did find "4k HDR – 8 bit, 10 bit, 12 bit,..." https://dgit.com/4k-hdr-guide-45905/ but does not mention any websites. Kenn...

Download 4.6.1 from a trusted archive. It is expected you will have more than one .NET version running.

The video was created from a large AVI with Lagarith/wave audio encoding. I always do complicated editing using lossless encoding. The AVI plays perfectly. That's likely part of the problem, which has been reported with other AVI codecs as well. Suggest you try XAVC-I, DNxHD, or ProRes for your dig...

The HD8 can handle x265 (aka. H265), so I'd change that because you can get much better quality per byte.

The correct way to say this is that h265 will give you the same quality in fewer bytes, up to a point. Street talk is just that.

You don't need to. NTSC DVD plays on PAL players just fine.

Now, downsampling from 10 bit source to 8 bit delivery, Handbrake shines in reducing banding, moire, dithering and quantization noise over other popular resampling algorithms. I've proven that, and I have always used a 10 bit YUV intermediate to Handbrake for 10 bit and uncompressed 8 bit source (se...

What surprised me was the 10-bit was smaller than 8-bit! Encoding 8 bit source in a 10 bit wrapper just adds air; no dithering takes place because there is no bit resampling, just the same data in a bigger box. Your reported file sizes prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt, and so would a histogram...

Yamb/mp4Box or ffmpeg will do this.
That said, chasing Bluetooth latency in the file is like chasing fireflies. Sometimes you catch one...

Also, nothing being discussed here has a whit to do with color saturation.

Yes, interlaced is very rare on BDMV (usually 24p), which is what we purchase. Still common for BDAV (50/60i), which many of us still shoot as for docos and Indies. Lot of guys ask on the Architect forum if they can make a compliant 30p or 60p BluRay. Ha! Sure, if if you print it as 720p or flag it ...

Not so rare. The original bluray spec is all interlaced: SD, MTS, AVCHD. Current BDMV is as follows: Supported video formats[141][142] Format Resolution and frame rate Aspect ratio 4K UHD 3840×2160 60p 16:9 3840×2160 59.94p 16:9 3840×2160 50p 16:9 3840×2160 25p 16:9 3840×2160 24p 16:9 3840×2160 23.9...

Some kind of chron routine on your apache server, I would assume?

A complete encode log would need to be provided to determine the cause.

I'd like to use intra-frame compressed footage (ProRes, DNx, AVC Intra etc.) simply because it's easier to work with inside the NLE. And less glitchy :) As mentioned, all-Intra x/264 is a brontosaurus. For any NLE, I/P only is a most useful intermediate and easy on your system. Not even a little "g...

Handbrake recompresses your video. For most conversion purposes, like sanitizing vfr for Premiere, the Normal or Baseline preset at rf18 looks great. They avoid compression that is unwanted during editing. Increasing the number of reference frames doesn't hurt, and is still almost as fast. All-Intra...

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 ...
