Looking for settings for iPad Mini 2

Post by Core2 »

New version of Handbrake 1.0.0

Looking for settings that I can use to get Video at an acceptable video quality and 1gb or under in size. This is for my kids iPads so I don't need perfect quality, but not too pixilated.

You probably want to start with the "Apple 720p30" preset. If file sizes are too large, then you can nudge the Constant Quality slider on the video tab 1 or 2 points to the left. (22, maybe 23) to reduce filesize.

Also, if it's just for the iPad, you can remove the AC3 Passthru track on the audio tab.

After some trial and error, setting to legacy iPad settings and quality tab set to 23 worked the best for me. I may keep testing to see if I can squeeze smaller file size for the kids movies.
