Apple1080P 60 vs AppleTV3

Post by newtonuk »

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:

Using the built in presets Apple 1080p60 Surround and AppleTV 3 results in files at 3.8GB and 5.5GB respectively. So, what is missing in the new preset compared to the legacy AppleTV 3 preset?

Is it just more efficient? Even if I change the Level from 4.0 to 4.2 to try to match the two presets manually, the file sizes still remain the same.

Please include the scan or encode log:

Code: Select all

 Paste a log of the scan or encode between these code brackets, or use a pastebin website and provide us with the URL it gives you.

Yes of course, apologies I thought the query was quite generic, but here goes:

This is the Apple1080p60 encode:

And this is the Legacy AppleTV 3 encode:

Thanks for your help.

It looks like the main difference is that the newer Apple preset uses cq=22 where as the older one uses cq=20.

Also the newer preset uses 640 for your AC3 and the old one uses 224.

They never are, thus the bold underlined red text on a pink background. If it didn't apply to 100.0% of posts it wouldn't need to be emphasized so much.
