HandBrake

I think I have changed my stance regarding crop. It looks a little better after the encode from 4:3 source, but I kept aspect ratio.

What to you mean?

I'm not sure either. From your truncated Activity Log it looks like decomb filter is active.

I have not changed anything under Filters.
Deinterlace er set to Decomb.

I think I found my preferred settings: RF=16 Profile: ultrafast Disable Crop Keep Aspect ratio Avg. FPS 45 ETA 1h20m (+15min ripping with MakeMKV) HEVC Matroska Source: DVD9 Target: ~1GB It is an very old DVD movie. Perhaps not much to get from lower RF or slower profile. Now I can begin to clear so...

I set RF=16, With the Preset slider to medium. Avg 4FPS ETA 12 hours With RF=16 and Preset to "faster", I got avg. 12FPS and ETA 4 hours. With RF=16 and Preset to "superfast", I got avg. 20FPS and ETA 2.5 hours. Preset: Adjusts encoder settings to trade off compression efficiency...

Why is the Packman build broken? This is the Packman RPM spec file that built the 1.0.7 https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/view_file/Multimedia/handbrake/handbrake.spec?expand=1 Sadly though there are no other repositories for OpenSUSE that has built HandBrake. Not sure why... Could try to build it...

HandBrake 1.0.7 is the latest from the Packman repositories for OpenSUSE.

I will try with RF=20. All I wanted was to preserve the original DVD quality.

I think I will try Woodstock's suggestion. I could rip several DVDs fast, then set HandBrake to encode them all.

Description of problem or question: Tried HandBrake to use HandBrake to rip and encode my DVDs to HEVC (without loss of quality). Chose the Preset Matroska - H.265 MKV 576p25. Changed the quality factor from 20 to 12. Added one subtitle Nothing else changed. My FPS is abysmal, at only avg 3.75 Enco...
