Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2021 5:44 pm
Machine: Raspberry Pi 4
CPU: Broadcom BCM2711 SoC / ARM Cortex-A72 CPU
Memory: 4GB 1600 MHz / LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM
Speed: 1.5 GHz / Not Overclocked
Number of CPUs: 4 core / 4 threads
HandBrake Version: 1.2.2 (Latest from rasbpian/buster repo)
Decode Format: MPEG-2
Decode Container: MKV and Decrypted DVD ISO
Encoder: H.264, slow, quality 20, film filter, high profile, level 3.1
Output Container: MKV
Video Size & Settings: 720x480, Decomb
Results:
The Hunger Games (2h22m) - 15.34fps - Log
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2h32m) - 15.4fps - Log

Sixteen Candles (1h33m) - 12.08fps - Log
Essentially I'm ripping DVDs I personally own and then here I'm converting them with HandBrake into an H.264 format. It seems after the first day of encoding though, it's slowed down 15-20% (I do have a fan installed to prevent throttling). So after today (the second day) if it does not post any faster speeds, I'll try debugging it.
I have over 100 discs to go through, so the Raspberry Pi is my best option (even if slow) because I can cheaply and efficiently run it 20 hours a day and monitor the results remotely. My alternative is a laptop that I take with me to work. The main benefit over a full-size PC is during a hot summer like we have here, this doesn't warm up the room noticeably.
