I encountered a problem converting a MKV H.264 video to another bitrate using either the H.264 or H.265 codec in MKV and MP4 container trying different bitrates. The result is always strongly visible artefacts. You can download the original file "test.mkv" without this pixelation and the exported file here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... GxxbVR4OEE
What are the steps to reproduce this problem:
Convert the video using Handbrake 1.0.0 or later to reproduce the problem. In Handbrake 0.10.5 there is no such effect and the clip looks fine as with any other video converter that I used instead.
What version of HandBrake are you running:
1.0.7
What operating system and version and you running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):
Mac OS X 10.11.6
Where did you download HandBrake from? handbrake.fr or somewhere else?
