Re: Can't encode to MKV

Is that DVR-MS file protected/encrypted?
If so you need to decrypt it first.
If not try the nightly.

Re: Share my setting, VERY FAST

That's great and fast, but DVDs are interlaced and often telecined so you really want decomb/detelecine on for a decent result.

Re: Highest Quality DVD Preset For ~1GB File Sizes?

It's all about the source. You'll never match their results starting from a DVD because the quality has already been lost. Non-commercial videos like a wedding or older content like robotech are even worse to start with. Whatever result you get from the High Profile preset at RF 19 is about the best...

Re: Why does max B-Frames and motion estimation increase siz

CRF is a rough measure of constant quality... the actual quality that comes out in the end is objectively measured in SSIM/PSNR. If you posted complete activity logs :roll: we wouldn't have to guess. merange 64 is a bit silly. As with everyone whose #1 priority is quality and playback device is a co...

Re: HOW TO: Dummies guide to Blu Rays and DVD's using Handbr

Clean, high quality sources (like say Blu-ray transfers of recent movies) are a lot easier to compress than grainy, low quality sources (like DVD transfers of older films). Rate Factor is sort of like quality per pixel and with an HD picture you've got a lot more pixels but you're watching it on the...

Re: svn-3420 has major problems using 4 cores

Your second logged is messed up, but it looks like you used different encoders (ffmpeg vs x264) so the results are completely different.

Mark is invalid.

Re: Usual size of a 45 minutes TV show

When I rip a movie, I always use a constant RF value. When I rip a tv series, I usually use 600mb (higher if including multiple audio tracks). They have always come out at a high quality and I don't mind the size. Some would say it's overkill, but I'd rather them be a little too large, than too sma...

A two hour widescreen movie seems to come out around 800-900mb. Using the same settings, I have ripped a one hour DVD that's in 4:...

Change your Windows Explorer settings to show file extensions.

You renamed it from movie.m4v to movie.mp4.m4v since the extension was hidden.

The computer should remain responsive during encoding. In Activity Montior you can drop the priority of HandBrake to low.
