--nal-hrd vbr
--vbv-maxrate 40000
--vbv-bufsize 30000
--level 4.1
--fps 24000/1001
--keyint 24
--b-pyramid strict
--slices 4
--aud
--colorprim "bt709"
--transfer "bt709"
--colormatrix "bt709"
--sar 1:1
--ref 4
--qpmin 4
--pass 1

Do you actually need bluray compatibility?

1.1.0 isn't supported, and you may not be on a supported HB build if you can't upgrade to 1.2.0 from HB.

thanks for the info. yes, i do need bluray compatibility. (looking into how to update handbrake to current.)

also, is there a way to get a .264 file directly output from handbrake or is it always contained in mp4 or matroska? what i'm making has no audio.

thanks again,
BabaG

HB doesn't produce actual Blu-ray compatible output.

Why use HB? Why not just use x264?
