Major changes or optimizations

Post by deathtical »

I was just wondering if you guys had made some significant changes related to 4K encodes lately? My encodes used to take on average 18+ hours. I recently wiped and reinstalled my PC and installed the newest HandBrake and it is telling me that my 4K encode will only take about 8 hours. What witchcraft have you employed ;)? Why did it take so long :o? In all seriousness, thank you.

You're using wildly different settings than you used to.

No. I imported my customization from before. All settings are the same as before. I like my encodes to be consistent. This wasn't a complaint, I was just wondering if some kind of optimization had been added in the last update or two. Maybe one that utilizes my CPU better than it did before.

There are no major optimisations in HandBrake that would cause this. That therefor leaves the most likely cause being change of settings.

We'd need to see logs for both to confirm the differences for you.

Note, default settings do change. Presets will not always import correctly into newer versions also depending on change changes.
