** click add button to save changes to a preset ** Motion Estimation Method - UnevenMulti-Hexagon On Video Tab select 2pass & turbo first pass & desired bitrate (1800 is even fine with these settings at full 1280x720 resolution 16:9) **again, I know alot of encoding groups choose CQ instead of 2pass & go like 30% over max sane values to get less then 1% more quality but this is for those that want to pick the file size they want to give to a particular movie, also excuse the lamens terms, I'm trying to simplify this as much as possible** ![]() If you want to play it safe use the preview feature or add a few hundred kbps. The downside is it takes a long time to encode, around 6hrs, sometimes up to 10hrs at 1080p (times are with 3ghz dual core). For an example: A 720p rip at 1280x528 keeps almost all quality (if there's not tons of grainy snow or hd rainfall/waterfalls to encode) with only 1650 video bitrate & 160bit audio with these settings. These settings I've used that keep almost max quality even with lower bitrates. ![]() If I have a 720p drama that has almost no action & no graphical artistic content I don't understand dedicating 4-8gb when I can't tell the difference at 1.5gb with max sane compression settings. I will always use 2pass because I'm compressing for filesize sake (you can only fit so much video on one hard drive). Suposedly now adays CQ can acheive "as good quality as my 2pass encodes" & takes less time but the advanced compression settings here are still relevant. They are based on my time spent in Handbrake forums back a few years ago in beta & were the Max "Sane" Values according to the author of handbrake's posts in the forums back then when I was active. This Tutorial focuses on the advanced tab quality compression not bitrate or anything that is subjective to taste. I thought I'd share what I've found to be the most important settings for High Quality/Compression. ![]() I've been Re-encoding Blu-Ray sources for along time in Handbrake & I remember when I wasn't really sure what options to use to maximize quality & compression.
