You will need to calculate the bitrate needed to get the size you want. HB cannot do these calculations for you.

Google for video bitrate calculator and you should get some options.

If you are limited by file size, you need to use a bitrate calculator to determine what bitrate you need for the duration of your video and your target file size, then limit handbrake to that bitrate. Handbrake ...

This thread has outlived it's usefulness. locking.

The formal stance on this is Target file size or derivative features such as file size estimation are not coming back to HandBrake due to accuracy issues.

Target file size is not possible within HB.

You can calculate the necessary settings using an online bitrate calculator then use those settings to get your desired size.

This feature was removed from HB, if you search for target file size you will see why.

There are many file size calculators online if you google for them.

It didn't work very well and the usage was generally misguided, so no, I don't think it will ever come back.

If you search you will see several threads about this, in short it's gone and it's not coming back.

... reason - the ability to just write in my target size for a file. I know you give us math conversions but for non-techie people ...

There are several examples in the Command Line Interface section. They vary in programming language, but you can use the techniques within them in almost any scripting language that can execute a command with arguments.

Trying for a target file size is not something Handbrake does.
