Hello;
I am new to Handbrake and it seems quite powerful.
I am encoding 2K and 4K videos at the moment. I am using the Production Max and Production Standard presets and tweaking those. Most of my settings seem typical as I have enough experience with video compressors.
However, any output from Handbrake plays choppy / stutters. I know this is sometimes due to the player (in my case Quicktime) being underpowered. But lower resolution (720p) tests also play choppy.
I am using Handbrake v1.1.0 on Windows.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? Any suggestions to overcome this? Perhaps I could get some help on the settings if I am using the wrong ones?
Thanks,
-Richard
