Description of problem or question:

I'm not the first to ask, but I'm desperately asking for a preset for Discord.

Discord has only two possible video upload sizes: free <8MBs & Nitro <100MBs (not sure *which* MBs they are referring to ?).

It would be very very nice if someone awesomely genius made a preset for the free one, maybe also the Nitro one, all that's necessary is from any input file an output file size is less than 8MBs (or Nitro less than 100MBs) every time.

Please help me, and all who want this Preset, thanks in advance!

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

Latest 122

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

Win7

Use the gmail presets and mentally adjust the time limits as appropriate proportionally.

I used the GMail presets, it always gave me a file ~8.5MBs, no matter how far i increased the RF slider, it's like it ignored the RF slider, i even tried reducing FPS and Resolution, still ~8.5MBs, so no not an easy or simple approach is what you are suggesting, it would be better that who built the 8.5MB GMail Preset also give us a Preset that spits out a 8MB file, something .5MBs less than what they did for GMail, that would be awesome!!

Could you please post your logs?

I'm working on some Discord presets.

The gmail presets don't use quality based encoding because they're targeting a specific size.

Follow the directions in bold underlined text on a pink background for support.

This is partially true. They do use quality based encoding, but are limited by vbv-maxrate to ensure the size limit is not exceeded given a source of the required duration or less. Essentially they are quality-based variable bit rate encodes; however, scenes with excessive motion and complexity can induce a pseudo-constant bit rate. Some other advanced options help squeeze every bit of quality out of these relatively low bit rate encodes.

I don't believe we require activity logs for feature requests like this.

To answer why it's 8.5MB and not changing as he claims to change settings we certainly do!

Sure, though in this case it won't tell us much. It's the nature of how these presets are designed. He should be able to decrease the file size by increasing the RF substantially, but lowering the RF (raising quality) will basically induce a constant quality mode given the vbv settings.

I added three presets for Discord Nitro and one for Discord free in https://github.com/bradleysepos/HandBra ... fa7b9cfa5b.

Build from source or wait for the next nightly/snapshot build.

Thank you @BradleyS!

I can't wait to test and tell everyone i know!! =) Is someone compiling the nightlies for Windows x64 or do i just wait for the new version?

You can't edit posts because we've had a few cases where people have replaced their old approved posts with spam. Sorry.

Also, the nightly builds for Windows install alongside, not over the release builds.

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2019 4:54 pm**

I chose to install the HandBrake-20191010-f834eeb8d_x86_64-Win_GUI.exe version, and the results were not better, the ~4 minute .MP4 actually now resizes to ~14.5MBs, the Google Preset was ~8.5MBs, so something's off.

What i noticed was a 2 minute note in the Discord preset description, not sure why it says that, here are the log files from 2 of multiple attempts the get the video down to 8MBs, including: bumping RF up ~32, limiting FPS, and reducing resolution (i don't see a way to attach files, so using code boxes!):

GoogleMail Preset small 10min ~8.5MBs

# Encode Completed ...

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2019 5:10 pm**

Try dropping the RF to 24.

You could also drop your audio bitrate, if not just pass it through.

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2019 5:22 pm**

@rollin_eng Read up for an explanation on why changing the RF alone won't work.

The "minutes" donation in the preset names is the longest duration video you can encode to be under the target file size. You're trying to compress a nearly 4 minute video into 8 MB or less... that's beyond what you can usually expect with H.264 video. That said, if you want to try, simply change vbv-maxrate from 450 to 200. The quality will be really low.

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2019 6:34 pm**

I've renamed the Discord (free) preset to Discord Small and added a Discord Tiny preset that will allow encoding up to 5 minutes duration in 8 MB or less. Look for it in the next nightly build.

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2019 5:15 am**

Thank you, will do. I know i don't know so much as you'all, but the GMail 8.5MBs was a nice enough quality, just .5MBs too large, i hope the same ~4 minute video reducing that extra .5MBs doesn't turn it into visual mush, lol. I will look for the place to tweak vbv-maxrate from 450 to 200. =)

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2019 5:32 am**

Ok, found the setting and it does work, the output video file was 7.75MBs. And as you mentioned the artifacts are present as the scene moves, the more movement the worse, lol.

Am i missing that HandBrake may split video up into 8MB files maybe?

Because the only reason i'm trying to get one 8MB file is because i didn't think HB could split video files and output them. Discord doesn't really have a limit on how 'many' vids, only that they're 8MBs or less.

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2019 6:02 am**

HandBrake doesn't have any automated splitting, but there are other tools you can use to split the video before or after HandBrake.

Posted: **Tue Oct 15, 2019 12:21 am**

What would you recommend?
