Handbrake doesn't reduce file size on new computer

Post by Betahuman »

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:

I don't understand anything. On my old laptop, i could reduce the file size of a video to approximately half by re-encoding them in Handbrake. But on my new laptop, it hardly makes a difference in file size between the original and the re-encoded file - despite using exactly the same version of Handbrake and exactly the same settings.

The only difference is basically that i used Win 8.1 on the old laptop and i'm using Win 10 on this new one, plus off course newer hardware in the new laptop. But both my old and new laptop is Intel-based.

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how it can be fixed?

Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What version of Windows are you running. etc.

I'm using Win 10 and version 1.0.7 of Handbrake. Alsao tried with earlier versions.
