Storage size changed

Post by Palestrina »

Description of problem or question: More than two years ago, I created my own preset that has more or less identical settings to the SuperHQ 1080p30 setting (which at the time didn't exist). I imported files with iFlicks2 into iTunes, and converted Blu-rays got an "HD" tag from iFlicks. A few weeks ago, I noticed that iFlicks would not assign an "HD" tag to a converted Blu-ray. Today I investigated this and found out that older files Blu-ray files had a storage size of 1920x800 while never ones (maybe starting this year) only had a storage size of 720x306. When watching the files, I did not notice any difference (I did not spend much attention to it but gets that a resolution that is more than two times less would have grabbed my attention), the file size is maybe 20 % smaller. I know that I did not change the Preset I made in any way. I wonder how this could happen and whether this means I have files that are of a lower quality than before. As a layman I would think that a smaller resolution means I will get problems when watching a movie on a bigger screen (which would defeat the purpose of my settings which emphasized good quality). I also wonder what I should do to rectify this. As I do also convert DVDs, I think I cannot set a fixed storage size of 1920x800.




Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0): 1.1.0




Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update): MacOs 10.13.16

The snippet of the log shows nothing about the setting you are using or the video source, so your questions cannot be answered.

Other than no, the GUI will not scale a DVD up to BD resolution. That may be available in the future, but not now or in the past.

Thank you for your quick answer! I know I can't upscale a DVD to a Blu-ray. I have also realized I accidentally posted a wrong activity log (that belonged to a DVD). Sorry for that.
I just copied the file from the Blu-ray "Miss Sloane" into my queue. Please find attached the log of this action. Handbrake will convert the file overnight so that I can post the log of this tomorrow.
In the menu "Filters", the items detelecine, interlace detection, and preset are on "default". The item deinterlace is "decomp". The items deblock, denoise, and sharpen are "off". The menu "dimensions" states that cropping is "automatic", anarmorphic is "loose", and Modulus is "2". Storage size is 720x302, display size is 721x302, PAR is 604x603.
I never played with "storage size" and "display" size and assumed Handbrake would automatically detect the resolution and adjust them accordingly.

Re: Storage size changed

Post by Woodstock »

It looks like your preset was saved with a smaller maximum output geometry, i.e., it's not a "1080p" resolution. Storing the output size is a separate step in creating a preset from scratch. I suspect that, when you were tweaking your preset, you may have accidentally said "yes" when asked about saving the resolution.

If your preset is "almost the same" as the "SuperHQ 1080p30" preset, load that preset and make your tweaks to it, and save it as a new 1080 preset, and do the same with the 480p version. As mentioned elsewhere, there are differences in some settings between the 480p and 1080p presets that make sense for the different sources.

O, thanks. I am certain that for some time, Handbrake did automatically adjust the resolution based on the file. If I loaded a DVD file, it automatically chose another resolution than when I loaded a Blu-ray file. I wonder if this will still be the case after i "hard code" the resolution of 1920x800 into my preset. Will I need two presets, one for Blu-rays and one for DVDs? Or is there a possibility to say something like "take the resolution that the original file has"?

Sorry, one additional question: does this mean that all my videos encoded under the wrong storage size are distorted because I forced a specific size on them that may not fit all (e.g. some movies are 1,77:1, others 2,35:1)? Or does this only mean they are of lower quality which will become apparent once I watch them on a big screen?

The sizes in the built-in presets are maximums - Example, "SuperHQ 1080p30" will allow UP TO 1920x1080, but will maintain the aspect ratio of the original if possible. If your source is a Bluray, it will be 1920x1080 stored on disk, but it will be cropped to 1920x800 or whatever the non-letterbox size is.

If you processed a 1920x1080 source that had a 1920x800 actual picture size, using a DVD-level limit of 480p, you get results like:

Code: Select all

[00:05:22]      + Crop and Scale (width=720:height=302:crop-top=138:crop-bottom=138:crop-left=0:crop-right=0)
[00:05:22]        + source: 1920 * 1080, crop (138/138/0/0): 1920 * 804, scale: 720 * 302
[00:05:22]    + Output geometry
[00:05:22]      + storage dimensions: 720 x 302
[00:05:22]      + pixel aspect ratio: 604 : 603
[00:05:22]      + display dimensions: 721 x 302
As for when you watch them on the big screen, Miss Sloane will look like a slightly-better-than-DVD source.

As for the two profiles - you can make do with just one, but, as I said, there are some tweaks to the 480p profiles that clean up DVD sources slightly better. Personally, I only the 1080p version.

Re: Storage size changed

Thank you! Ok, that means I will have to encode my Blu-rays again. I looked through my collection to see when things went wrong. When I did this, I noticed that all Blu-rays in fact have a resolution of 720x306 (with slight changes) while my DVDs have all varieties of resolutions from 622x480 to 768x574 up to 1024x434 (to be honest, I don't understand why that is). I therefore suspect I do not have to encode them again which would be a relieve. Do you agree that my DVDs have kept the original resolution and are therefore fine?

And to double-check: if I set the resolution to 1920x1080 and load a DVD file, that file will after encoding have the resolution it originally had, correct? I am asking to make sure I don't have to do different things depending on whether the original file is a Blu-ray or a DVD.

Again, thank you for your help!

Correct that the resolution will remain the same as the source, as long as that's less than 1920x1080.

1024x434... that was probably an anamophic title with really wide pixels (pixel aspect ratio much wider than high).

Thank you again. Out of curiosity: why did the storage size of 720x306 affect all my Blu-rays but none of my DVDs? I would have guessed that DVDs with a higher resolution would have been affected as well but that is seemingly not true.

The preset may have been configured for maximums of 720x480; Blu-Rays would go to 720xH because they use square pixels, whereas DVDs use not-square pixels and would always fit within 720 by 480, no height reduction needed.

I checked the DVDs I had converted during the previous months. It appears that their size has been changed, too. E.g. if a DVD had a display size of 1024x426, the converted file had a display size of 1024x576. I wonder whether this means that the picture has been scaled (so that something is missing on both edges) or that the picture has been distorted (so that everything is a bit stretched). Do you know that?
