Question about Handbrake's "Encoder Preset"

Post by bestwinner »

I dont quite understand the encoder preset. if i choose "Fast 1080p 30p" option and after that i just click render, not changing settings or anything. Then i do second round, i touch only encoder present and i put it to veryslow mode, does this mean the size of the video will become SMALLER AND QUALITY BETTER than the normal settings on fast 1080p 30p? cuz, how it can be better quality if the file size is smaller ?

It will be better or smaller, maybe a bit of both.

It's better because of more analysis and math done up front in the encoding process.
