How to maintain the size and quality of the source video when hardcoding subs?
Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2018 9:07 pm
Hi, I'm new here and actually new in using Handbrake, so my problem will probably look stupid, but I need some help nonetheless.
Recently I tried it out when I needed to hardcode srt subs to my video and it worked perfectly, the only problem is, that the file size became bigger by a lot. My source video is a 3 hour film, that takes up a little more than 8 gigs, but subtitled video is bigger than 11 gigs. When choosing presets, I set the same resolution as my source video, changed the framerate to "same as source", decreased audio bitrate and did not tinker with any other settings. The codec and container were left the same (H.264 ; MP4).
So, my problem is this: I just need to hardcode subs and nothing else. The filesize of the source video is ok, I don't need to reduce it. What presets should I choose, so my video's quality and size remains the same, or as close to source's as possible, while hardcoding subs? My pc is not very powerful, so experimenting by myself takes a lot of time.
Thank you and sorry for my English.
