Set to none to remove all subtitles on MAC, and on Windows click the greyed out “X” on the right hand side to remove subtitles. Then you can quickly run it through Handbrake and see how your settings look before encoding the whole file. **TIME SAVING TIP** – If you want to quickly see what effects your settings have on the video your best bet is to cut off a 1-2 minute chunk of your source video file. Set the sample rate to 48 and the Bitrate to 448. Change the codec to AC-3 and Mixdown to 5.1. In my case the disk has a DTS 5.1 Soundtrack so I will use that. If your source file has a Dolby Digital 5.1 track in your desired language select that, if not select the next best thing. Strong-intra-smoothing=0:rect=0:aq-mode=1:rd=4:psy-rd=0.75:psy-rdoq=4.0:rdoq-level=1:rskip=2įor maximum compatibility we are looking to make an AC-3 5.1 channel sound track. Drag the constant Quality slider to 24 and paste the following code into the Additional Options box: Set the preset to “Slow”, leave tune at “None”, select “Main10” for the profile and set the level to 5.1. For Framerate, select “Same As Source”, and check “Constant Framerate”. If your media player can handle H.265 video, there’s a pretty good chance it will play 10-Bit video as well. 10-Bit allows for a much wider range of available colours, and gives a cleaner encode with less artefacts. If your settings look like mine above we can move on to the Video Tab. Regardless of your source file these settings result in a nice decombed progressively drawn video. This is not an issue, and we can now move on to the Filters Tab. Your final dimension may look different, as each file you encode will likely be different. Set your resolution to 1080P HD and leave Anamorphic at Automatic. They add to the file size and aren’t needed, so let’s get rid of them. If your movie has black bars at the top and bottom this will remove them. Handbrake defaults here are good, but I would double check and make sure Cropping is set to automatic. There isn’t much to be done here, Make sure you have selected MKV as your output format, and I usually uncheck the Metadata option as I don’t want to add to the file size with info I won’t use. Once you have dropped your source file into Handbrake, you should find yourself on the Summary Tab. We will be able to reduce the size of this significantly! (Info provided by Mediainfo – free download HERE) MY SOURCE FILE – My source file straight off the BluRay weighs in at a hefty 33.8 GB and contains many audio tracks. The version of Handbrake used in this tutorial is v1.6.1 which is the current stable release for March 2023. The video is encoded on a 2 year iMac with I7 processor. I play the media from a Apple TV 4K, and use the Infuse Pro player app. I viewing position is about 10-12 feet back. THE TECHNICAL STUFF – My TV is a 65″ Samsung 4K UHD. THE GOAL – To produce the highest quality video with the smallest possible file size, whilst creating a 5.1 Digital Sound Track that is compatible with most players and TV’sĭISCLAIMER – This method will produce very nice quality videos, but may take SEVERAL hours to process each hour of video! Unfortunately, good quality video with small file size cant be done quickly, it just doesn’t work that way. 1 Open source file in Handbrake and make sure you are on the “Summary” tabĢ Set file format to “MKV’ and deselect “Passthru Common Metadata”ģ Click “Dimensions” tab and set Resolution Limit to 1080p and leave Anamorphic as Automatic, leave cropping “Automatic” and borders “None”ĥ Leave Interlace Detection set to Default, De-interlace set to Decomb, and Preset at “Default”ħ Select “H.265 10-Bit (x265)” from the Video Codec drop downġ3 Set “Encoder Level” to “5.1” – If this wont play on your system drop it back to “4.1”ġ4 Set the “Constant Quality” slider to “24”ġ5 In the “Additional Options” box add strong-intra-smoothing=0:rect=0:aq-mode=1:rd=4:psy-rd=0.75:psy-rdoq=4.0:rdoq-level=1:rskip=2ġ7 Select the preferred 7.1 or 5.1 channel soundtrackġ8 Set “Codec” to “AC3” and the Bitrate to 448kbġ9 Set Mixdown to “5.1 Channels” and Samplerate to “48”Ģ1 Click the “X” in the circle at the right side to remove the subtitles track on Windows, or select “None” from dropdown on MacĢ3 Uncheck the “Create Chapter Markers” option if you don’t want them or leave it checked if you doĢ4 Give your output file a unique name and save it somewhere easy to fidĢ5 Make a preset to save the settings and Press the Green “Start Encode” button
