Re: Not so much 4K video compatible.

These are the setting I got courtesy of user archer: Constant quality - 18 for 1080, 16 for 4k. This is why you shouldnt listen to strangers on the internet... https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.3.0/workflow/adjust-quality.html I've read that article and I would argue it's just plain wrong.

Re: HandBrake does not use Apple M1 video encoder/decoder

On my 2018 mini with the i7 I can encode all day long at 95c and that CPU maxed. The thing is damn hot but it does it. Fan spinning away.

The temps on these new M1 minis at 100% load with the fan going are what, around 60c? I'd take that.

and you've played other 4k videos with HDR through the ATV connected to that Sony without issue?

Re: Not so much 4K video compatible.

It’s my understanding that HB does not support HDR due to the 8 bit pipeline. Perhaps a dev can confirm/deny? It works. I have hundreds of 4k encodes that all have working HDR. As HB has an 8 bit pipeline I believe you are not getting “true” HDR. triggers HDR on my TV. I've done comparisons against...

Re: Not so much 4K video compatible.

I have a current ATV 4K 64Gig. I've tried it both 4K HDR and SDR, both with match frame rate and match range. Didn't seem to make any difference. My TV is a Samsung 4K 58", circa 2019. I wish iTunes recognized mkv format but it doesn't so I have to convert to either m4v via Handbrake or to mp4...

I will give those settings a try. I use MakeMKV to do the initial burn into mkv from hard media. I do transcoding into iTunes compatible m4v files with Handbrake, then go straight to AppleTV. I tried using plex but it didn't handle TV programs properly for me (kept wanting to treat them as movies w...

I'll check my Samsung setting to see what it is set for. Thanks for the hint. are you sure your samsung and your AVR support HDR? Could also be a HDMI cable issue. Also, don't use the tv app or itunes for playback. Use plex as your server on your computer and use infuse on the ATV. You can use plex...

Re: Not so much 4K video compatible.

I'd appreciate knowing what setting you are using in Handbrake (specifically h.265 vs h.264) and how long it takes for transcoding. sorry I was going to check when I got home and complete spaced it. Off the top of my head I use H.265 10 bit. RF of 16 on 4k and 18 on 1080. Keep original aspect ratio...

Thanks. I did try changing the RF settings to 20, even tried going down to 15. No change in the distortion issue. I did get some encouraging results with the Apple Video Toolbox. https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZmR36kZjG9WhATgSHyk3SRyT5C7FXs7eiFV The picture quality was very washed out. Po...

Re: Not so much 4K video compatible.

I'll have to check my settings when I get home but I have no issue encoding 4k HDR on my mac mini in handbrake and using plex or infuse to play to my ATV4k connected to my denon x3300w to my LG OLED B6 TV. Been doing it for years.

Re: Getting Good Results Ripping 4K

My UHD rips that I reencode in handbrake do have HDR when I play them back on the ATV4k(just not dolby vision). I primarily use Infuse for playback which is the best player IMO but it also works in plex. Tested again last night just to make sure. Typically when you watch a movie with HDR and it look...

Re: Trying to create 4K M4V for Apple TV 4k

It's washed out because it's HDR and something doesn't support it. Either the format you have it in, your TV, or itunes via that method. Why not use plex or infuse? Make it a .mkv instead. Use infuse and you'll get the HD audio, assuming you're using a receiver that supports it. I have a ATV4k as we...

Re: How to build a preset that select DTS-HD or TRUEHD ?

Easiest thing would be not to rip audio tracks you don't want(assuming you're ripping with something like makemkv like I do). Then you set handbrake to auto passthrough for the HD audio tracks. This way you never have to mess with the audio files and you'll always have the HD audio you want.

I use CRF 18, medium. Why? Because when comparing to the original BD rip I can see a difference when using 20 or 22. At 18 I cannot.
