All other settings are about techniques to improve the quality-filesize tradeoff . if it's generally accepted that at ~62 you get visual transparency on SD sources, if someone had a slower system with a little extra hard drive space why couldn't they accept a little bloat and speed up encoding SIGN...

In principle, quality 62 is quality 62, and any other settings make no visible difference. In practice, apparently it makes some small difference. However, I suspect that, for example, 62 plus any quality-improving tweaks is probably visually no better than, say, 70 with no quality-improving tweaks....

If you're only interested in maximum quality, set quality to 100. All other settings are about techniques to improve the quality-filesize tradeoff. The file size will be horrendous, but the quality will be maximal.

For what it's worth, I think it's got some potential. I don't think the layout you've chosen would work, because there are too many possible settings to make it practical. But being queue-oriented and pre-loading all the titles into the queue could be done. In the area where you now select the title...

royone

It is mostly likely a player problem. What player are you using?

It's better in the upcoming version. Have a look at the beta release.

There are alternatives, like RipIt4Me and DVD43, but they lag way behind AnyDVD in terms of ripping capabilities and dealing with advanced copy protection. You are correct about DVD43, but I think you're wrong about RipIt4Me. Do you know of a title it won't work for? RipIt4Me works in conjunction w...

If the encode was done with chapter markers enabled, and KMP doesn't like chapter markers, a re-encode without them might be in order.

Handbrake is probably having issues with the authoring of the disks. In particular, those created with iDVD have been a known problem. New versions of HB are (from what I read) getting more robust about that sort of thing. In the meantime, try a reauthoring tool like DVDShrink. Put the desired title...

Yes, choose "Mpeg 4" instead of "H264".

royone

What are you doing to deal with copy protection?

You should be able to type the title number into the dropdown box, even if it's not a title that's available in the list.

If the image fills the screen horizontally and the image isn't distorted, then the black bars are the correct height. If you have space on all four sides, then you probably forgot to crop.

royone

Don't keep the entire image, just set the bottom crop to zero. The others won't buy you any real estate for your subtitles.

From this post, it's

Code: Select all

mkvmerge --engage keep_bitstream_ar_info -o <output filename.mkv> <original filename.mkv>

From what Ive read, CRF (Constant Rate Factor) overrides the CQ setting. Setting the CQ to 50 or 100 makes no difference if you have CRF selected. Is that true? The quality slider is input for either setting. CRF gives the system a little more freedom to adjust the quantization matrix to keep the v...

Looking for some specific feedback regarding quality settings. Im curious about the difference between 1500, 2500, or maybe even CQR 70. For my scenario, what would be the lowest bitrate/cqr I could use w/o noticeable quality loss? Play with it and see. You probably want to use CRF, rather than a b...

For the iPhone, just use the preset. Anything else and you're probably either going to make it worse or break it.

royone

What I do is set the cropping for the bottom of the frame to zero, and all the other crop sides are as autocrop suggests. Then I have some space at the bottom, and the subtitles show up a bit lower.

royone

This tutorial walks you through the process.

I've read all the postings referring to this problem and have tried all of the recommendations. They have not worked. Is there something that we're missing? Obviously not. You've tried all the recommendations, after all. If you describe what you tried in a little more detail, it might be possible f...

It works either way. You just have to tell the GUI whether you're browsing for a file or a directory.

It might be a DVD whose protection DVD43 can't fully handle. Have you tried decrypting it to your hard drive and reading from there? What title is it?

royone

CRF - We don't care about bitrate/filesize, we just care about consistent visual quality (not appropriate for iPod 5G/5.5G) I've been curious about what happens if you do choose CRF and have the vbv. What I would expect is that you'd get the CRF you asked for, except when it had to be clipped. In m...
