Hello,
Mac 10.10.5, Handbrake Version 0.10.5 x86_64

Question:
I would like from 4 to 2 reframes. How to do?
Thank you for your reply.

ref=2 in the advanced options box.

But the "box" isn't present on the CLI.

The options are found in the CLI documentation: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide

--encopts seems to be the one that lets you put in individual parameters like "ref=2", but it can and will be overridden by what is in the x264 profile being used.

No, --encopts overrides --encoder-preset

The only options that override --encopts are --encoder-profile and --encoder-level

[Woodstock]

I didn't say preset...

-x or --encopts: permits you to pass through advanced encoding options to the encoder (only for x264 and ffmpeg2/ffmpeg4). Applies before and is thus overridden by --x264-profile.

Heh. But the profile will not override ref=2, since the lowest maximum for a preset is 4 (unless you specify an H.264 profile that's too low for the output resolution & frame rate, in which case the behavior is undefined).

Thank you for your answers. I found the solution and the correct code to add to Additional Option: ref = 2: bframes. Without being a specialist, a way not to go through handbrakeCLI. For Youtube, it's ref = 2 Is that correct?

[mduell]

It doesn't matter since they'll reencode anyway.
