Handbrake Compressing files faster resulting in smaller size?

Post by Falloutboy »

I am using Handbrake on some 1080 video but have had some odd results, according to what I have read you should push the Optimise video encoder preset as slow as you can stand it to achieve smaller file sizes - however I seem to be getting reversed results - for each notch I push things down slower the encoded file gets larger and for each notch i push it faster it gets smaller - this has left me very confused

I started with HQ 1080p30 Surround and left all settings the same barring X265 as the encoder, framerate same as source, encoder preset Fast ( to start with anyway ) RF 20 - No subtitles.

If I get the chance I will re run my tests and supply activity logs - I do still have the output files.

HandBrake version (1.0.7 2017040900) - 64 bit


Windows 10 64 bit


Sorry no logs as this was the result of several runs over about four hours.
