encoding input 4K video to chunks of size <4GB

Post by manit123 »

I am using handbrake 1.0.7 (2017040900) 64bit on desktop with windows 7 professional 4GB RAM .

So , I have a mkv with following characteristics
(1)hevc h.265 video , a52 aka ac3 audio
(2)3840x1632 resolution
(3)eng subtitle stream
(4)duration - 3 hours

Que 1) When I open that file in handbrake Picture tab shows width and height as 1920 and 1080 respectively.Can't handbrake encode video to mp4 of 4K resolution ?

Que 2) Actually I want to save this video on a fat32 USB disk . So , max file size of output video is limited to <4GB . I understand that - it would mean multiple files forming part of whole video (like three 1 hour videos) . When I select chapters only 1 appears , seems original video doesn't have multiple chapters.I can manually run encoding thrice specifying start and end time (in seconds). Is that the only way ? How can I tell handbrake to split a video into multiple files each of duration x seconds ?


Que 3)Here is the activity log with 1920p output video resolution . Output file size was 7.65GB (approx. 8x10^9 bytes) . Original file was 4.54GB (approx. 4.87X10^9 bytes) .

Re: encoding input 4K video to chunks of size <4GB

Post by Woodstock »

There is no automatic way to have handbrake split by file size.

Maybe a different way to look at the problem is, "Is FAT32 really the only choice?"

Formatting your target storage as either exFAT or NTFS is a viable option with most devices that would know how to deal with h.265 video. Even modern Linux implementations CAN talk to exFAT, and both Windows and MacOS consider it to be a "native format".

Que 1) When I open that file in handbrake Picture tab shows width and height as 1920 and 1080 respectively.Can't handbrake encode video to mp4 of 4K resolution ?
You probably have a 1080p preset selected. You'll want to choose a 4K preset (or create your own, but it's useful to start from one of the existing presets), as the maximum output picture size is set on the preset. If you like the settings of an existing preset, you can select it and then add a new preset, and you'll inherit the current settings (i.e. the ones set by that selected preset), but have the option to change the maximum resolution or change it to always use the source resolution.

As for your third question, the site you downloaded the movie from has already compressed it significantly, probably with more aggressive settings than you're using for handbrake. They imply that with other rips of commercial movies they're posting.

Since handbrake is trying to save quality that isn't there, it will make a larger result.

Your original source is already encoded HEVC/H.265 which is generally supposed to provide more efficient compression than AVC/H.264. What you're trying to do in terms of file size isn't possible without reducing quality by quite a lot more than you've asked the encoder.

(1)yeah , when i open that mkv file in handbrake 'fast 1080p 30' preset is selected . Didn't find any preset with name '4k' .

(2)ok . got it . no automatic way to split input file into multiple output files of short duration.

(3)i am considering 'ntfs' . windows/linux can deal with it and my android can mount it read only.
