Video is not compressed

[JeAn-PhI13]

Description of problem or question:
Hello,

I use the game bar present in Windows 10 (shortcut keys Windows and G) the video is of good quality.
the video produced is an MP4 file at 30 FPS
for a little over 17 minutes I get a 1.24 GB file
I would like to reduce the weight of this video without losing its resolution (1920 * 1048), I tried several configuration (preset) without obtaining a satisfactory result

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.3.2


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

Windows 10 PRO version 1909

Without the logs, we have a "cool story" with no evidence. We do not even know what "satisfactory result" means in your context.

Without the logs, we have a "cool story" with no evidence. We do not even know what "satisfactory result" means in your context.

I never thought that we had to provide a log for each request.
a satisfactory result for me is to have results similar to what we can see on different tutorials available on the Internet namely a reduction in the weight of the file ranging from 2 to 10 times less than the original weight by keeping a image size identical to the original and an FPS of 30

[rollin_eng]

Change your encoder preset from veryfast to slow or veryslow. Maybe bump your RF to 22.

[Woodstock]

When you ask questions about how handbrake handles a particular source, nothing can be done without logs.

A noisy source is NOT going to see large reductions in size without significant filtering (to remove noise) or reduction of quality. A 1080p anime might see 80-90% reduction (not much detail), while an action movie with lots of motion and detail, on the same settings, would be hard pressed to see 50% size reduction.

Even things like treating a progressive scan source as interlaced affects the size, as the encoder tries to make up for interlacing that really isn't there. On this particular source, you should experiment with setting deinterlace to NONE and turning off Comb Detect.

ok i am testing this

Hello,

the result is that the output file is identical or even larger than the input file so it's not that yet

# Encode Completed ...

[JohnAStebbins]

According to your log, the cumulative bitrate of your original is 10509 kbps and the cumulative bitrate of the encoded video is 9061 kbps. So if the encoded file is not somewhat smaller, then your source video lies about it's bitrate.

In any case, this is a pretty high bitrate for HD video. So I'm wondering if your video is very noisy, grainy, shaky or otherwise has a ton of motion? If there is a lot of grain or other kinds of noise, you can use one of the denoise filters to "clean" it and reduce the file size. If the problem is shaky video, HandBrake doesn't have a filter for that and all you can really do is increase the RF value more till you obtain the desired file size.

[JeAn-PhI13]

When you ask questions about how handbrake handles a particular source, nothing can be done without logs.

A noisy source is NOT going to see large reductions in size without significant filtering (to remove noise) or reduction of quality. A 1080p anime might see 80-90% reduction (not much detail), while an action movie with lots of motion and detail, on the same settings, would be hard pressed to see 50% size reduction.

Even things like treating a progressive scan source as interlaced affects the size, as the encoder tries to make up for interlacing that really isn't there. On this particular source, you should experiment with setting deinterlace to NONE and turning off Comb Detect.

Hello,

the result is that the output file is slightly smaller but it's not that yet

# Encode Completed ...

[mduell]

Unrelated to your video issues, reencoding the audio rather than passing it through is not particularly sensible.

[rollin_eng]

Just keep increasing your RF, you will lose quality but get smaller files.

[JeAn-PhI13]

According to your log, the cumulative bitrate of your original is 10509 kbps and the cumulative bitrate of the encoded video is 9061 kbps. So if the encoded file is not somewhat smaller, then your source video lies about it's bitrate.

In any case, this is a pretty high bitrate for HD video. So I'm wondering if your video is very noisy, grainy, shaky or otherwise has a ton of motion? If there is a lot of grain or other kinds of noise, you can use one of the denoise filters to "clean" it and reduce the file size. If the problem is shaky video, HandBrake doesn't have a filter for that and all you can really do is increase the RF value more till you obtain the desired file size.

my video is a capture of a game session in battle royal mode using the Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10 accessible from the shortcut Win + G
I will test the denoise filters and I would come and give the results

[mduell]

Denoise probably isn't going to help for game footage. It's motion not noise driving the bitrate.

You can reduce file size by reducing quality; each 6 points higher on the RF scale should roughly halve the video bitrate. Once you get to the low 30s, start dropping video resolution instead.
