Best Quality Settings for Apple TV 4

Post by debasencio »

What are the best picture and sound settings for converting to watch on Apple TV 4? I very rarely watch them on anything else (iPhone or iPad) other than the Apple TV or my computer

I'm running OS Sierra Ver 10.12.6 on a MacBook Pro and on a Mac Mini. Version 0.10.5 x86_64 (2016021100) of HandBrake

Thanks in Advance. :D

Update to the latest version then use the appropriate Apple preset.

I've been doing that. Just wondering if anyone had any tweeks to settings that make it better.

I meant the presets. Yes, just noticed I don't have the latest version. Taking care of that now. It normally updates automatically but not this time.

The recommended practices are in the preset in the current release.

Any tweaks from there are personal preferences. Faster/slower encodes? Change your x264 preset. Higher/lower quality? Change your RF target.

I've tried to convert 2 files and at the end they both said "encode failed" but the movie was still complete in the folder....???
