I have a dvd whose video_ts folder had 0.99GB 720x480 video of 44minutes duration .
On running handbrake with normal profile I got 691MB mp4 file.
I want to encode video with maximum compression , no care about how long it takes or drive space it needs while decoding-encoding.
What changes should i do ?

Re: ripping dvd
Find the quality slider on the video tab. Drag it to the left until you achieve the desired trade-off between quality and file size.

Re: ripping dvd
There is only so much compression you can do before the picture starts to fall apart. Under 500MB you will probably start seeing this.
If you reduce your display aspect to 360 vertical, you will gain another ~40% smaller file, but there are still tradeoffs. With modern devices / streaming connections, why do you need such small files anyway (torrent)?

Re: ripping dvd
ffmpeg has this 'very slow' ffpreset which takes so many hours ( to analyse then encode ) but produces a replica video with smallest file size in mp4 format . How can I do that in handbrake ?
Re: ripping dvd
hi guys
For more clarification - I wanted video encoding with variable bitrate such that we do not put any upperbound . So , if there the video stands still then bitrate will be low & if there is lot of activity in scene then bitrate should be as needed .
Finally this helped
ffmpeg.exe -i <input-file> -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 96k -ac <output.mp4>
I tried handbrake - it gave nice looking videos except they had size 2.93GB for normal profile while 3.24GB for high profile.
The dvd had 4.1GB video.
Using above ffmpeg I made 2.52 GB video which is equally good. I saw that frame rate is 60.
Now I am using '-r 25' to get more small size without loss in quality.

Re: ripping dvd
with frame rate 25 . I got 2.4 GB , a little improvement over 2.52GB with no restriction imposed on encoded video frame rate.
Re: ripping dvd
I wonder , how people make <1GB blu-ray rips & dvdrips.
My video duration was 3hours 15minutes.
I think if I put a limit of 800kbps on max video bitrate then some scenes with lot of activity may get less sharp.
What do you suggest ?
