how to get h256 main10 'high' setting

[handbra119]

I use latest version of handbrake on my macbook pro 15 (2017 late)

4K Mkv to m4v (or mp4)

original Mkv file has Main 10@L5.1@High setting.

I don't know how i get 'high' on setting with H265. there is no section to choose it.

H264 i can choose base, main, high on setting but h265 has no option.


here is original mkv file's info

I think 265 will select whatever level your settings require, so don’t worry about it.

[handbra119]

so there is no difference between main and high on level setting ? ok...?

Why do you want it if you're not using any codec features that require it?

If you want to force high tier for x265, you need to add

Code: Select all

high-tier

to the additional options in the video tab.

However, HandBrake will normally choose the best option for you.
