Question for anyone who knows video compression/encoding:

Assume the following:
1.) In MakeMKV, I'm using a cleanly ripped movie with all English audio and subtitle tracks. All the same settings are used as literally hundreds of other movies.
2.) In Handbrake, I'm using the same well tested profile to create a 2160p version of a 4K movie that I make ( Read more... )

Like most people living Life in a Time of Coronavirus (and Trump Adminstration Year Four), I am forever searching for new ways to stave off anxiety attacks, panic attacks, a full nervous breakdown, and extreme boredom while leaving my home as little as possible.

Masks For All Occasions

Sometimes, I buy new masks and now I buy just from here: Bizzy ( Read more... )

In between my last post and now, I have a.) thrown out my back again, b.) six days after breaking a tooth and so needed to make a dentist appointment which was c.) the day after I threw out my back.

However, my life is not all disintegrating body and the slow encroachment of insanity:

Foreword: this one turned out--weird. For two reasons:

So that literally took ten days, but to be fair...I got nothing.

Before I post, a couple of updates: number of movies was reduced to four, as encoding the last one coincided with an Ubuntu update and I have no idea of how long it was delayed.

First: hardware

So I started! From my estimate, this could take up to two months (...oh God what), but I'll post results as I finish each batch group. And apart from my own curiosity, I hope someone may be able to use the results to fine-tune their own Handbrake settings.

Probably vidders can help?

For various reasons I won't pretend aren't primarily my own need for constant entertainment, I've been playing with Handbrake to make different versions of a given movie from my rips. Do I need a 720p and 480p version of every bluray I own? Do I even own anything that needs a 480p? Does anyone ( Read more... )
