How can I increase the bitrate for very high resolution videos?

Post by Rainmaker »

Description of problem or question:

I need for the compression of videos in the format 12000x6000 pixel a bitrate of at least 360mbps, better would be even more. But it seems that you can only set a bitrate of 300mbps in Handbrake (H.264, Encoder Profile:high, Encoder Level: 5.2). Is there a way to set an encoder level of six or higher?

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.1.2


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

fully patched Win10

Is there a level 6 for h264?

For your resolution/bitrate is h265 a better option?

You should specify a level only if you want the limitations of that level. If you don't want the bitrate limits of a level, don't specify that level.

Even level 6-6.2 only allows 139,264 macroblocks, which is about half your frame size.

If "more is better", why compress at all?

And what format would that be? It's not a known delivery format, nor playable by mortals in our lifetimes, so something you conjured up while working with stills, maybe?
