Recommended preset for taking samples from DVD

Post by dax702 »

Hi, I'm new to HandBrake and am a bit lost in the settings. I'd like to take segments of DVDs and save them as MP4 (which will later be saved as FLV) to use as samples on a website. My question for those with more experience is - what preset or settings would you recommend for saving footage from a DVD (it's not encrypted) It's interlaced, with AC3 audio. Thanks!

For streaming? I'd pick something along the lines of an iPod preset then, which will keep the bitrate low. It depends on how much quality and time buffering your users will allow.
