H.264 (x264) or or H.264 (Intel QSV) or H.264 (Nvidia NVEnc) for transcoding?
I am just a total n00b at this and wondering what's the right way to do this.
I want to rip all my Blu Rays to my Plex server. I did the first rip using MakeMKV last night.
I then launched HandBrake and tried transcoding the first rip using CPU (H.264 (x264)), quality Super HQ 1080p30 Surround preset, and after a while it said 4.5 hours remaining. I lost my patience and canceled it.
That was too much so I tried the same preset but with Video Codec H.264 nVidia NVEnc and it took 30 minutes!
Is there any difference in outcome? What quality preset should I use? I'd like to watch from my iPad all the way up to 65" 4K TV.
I want to set a standard for all my Blu Rays, I have a lot to rip.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Intel 4690K, nVidia Quadro P400.
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.3.3.
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit.
