Please describe what you would like to see added to HandBrake: I'd like an approximate output size calculator (or the knowledge of how to do it on my own if I must).
Why would you like to see this added: This will really help me not waste so much time re-encoding over and over again until I find the right RF for the output size.
What version of HandBrake are you currently running: 1.0.3 64-bit.
What operating system and version and you currently running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14): Windows 10.

Re: Output Size Calculator
There is no way to predict the size UNLESS you limit to a specific bit rate, and use two-pass encoding to achieve it.
Using constant quality (RF) uses the bit rate necessary for whatever section of the video it is working on, so it changes dynamically with the complexity of the video. More detail? More bits. 10 seconds of a constant frame? Less bits.

Re: Output Size Calculator
Time (Sec) X Bit rate (Mbps) X .125 = File Size (MB)

This is not really the way to use RF encoding.TheInfamousWaffles wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2017 1:42 am This will really help me not waste so much time re-encoding over and over again until I find the right RF for the output size.
If you need to create a video of a certain size use ABR and an online bitrate calculator.
Re: Output Size Calculator
What is your need for a fixed file size? Is it storage or bandwidth?
