Just use the x264 Super HQ presets in Handbrake. That's what I read on forums and it was the CRF value used by HEVC encoders when it all began. ![]() That's why I just keep it on CRF 18 / Medium or Slow for Blu-rays. H.265 isn't as matured as x264 (which is the scene standard for I think 10+ years now), there are no simple tuning options and no easy to find quick start guides available. I don't fiddle around with the 'extra options,' I just use H.265 as is, how it was meant to be. They gave him copy paste encoding settings, but said that every film needs different settings. Someone asked UTR, a well-known HEVC encoding group, in a forum what the best settings would be if they want to start encoding. If you want to copy those settings, you should use Lossless > AAC / Stereo / 160 kbps / Dolby Pro Logic II.Īlso, with your example for h265 what do you have in your "extra options"? It's exactly the same set-up Apple uses for their iTunes digital movie encodes. Handbrake defaults to having a secondary AAC stereo track next to the surround sound track for compatibility with older hardware. Lossless > AC3 5.1 640 kbps, just to keep the surround sound data. So, quality-wise you should use AC3 5.1 640 kbps. Most encoders use AAC 5.1 to save space, but many downloaders mux in AC3 just for that higher-quality audio. If there isn't I just encode it the lossless track to AC3 5.1 640 kbps. If there's AC3 included on the Blu-ray, I select passthrough. In the future I want to use PleX and it doesn't support surround AAC, and maybe I want to create a new system for a future home theater. Personally, I don't use AAC audio anymore. AAC 5.1 is not widely-supported and may sound good, but it's more used as a space-saving option. I'd trust AC3 if you want high quality lossy audio and compatibility. It's the codec used for iTunes HD digital movies and Core tracks on Blu-rays. If you have a 5.1 setup you may want to use AC3, as it's the industry standard for lossy audio. Quality-wise, would AC3 5.1 640k and AAC / 5.1 Channels / 320 sound equivalent to my ears if I have a 5.1 setup? H.264 as codec is also matured and a scene standard. The encoding time is the same when using H.265 Medium so I rather choose a higher quality H.264 Very Slow encode. I still prefer using Super HQ 1080p30 Surround though, because of the compatibility and on some titles H.265 messes up the grain. The final encoded result looked really good, especially with how H.265 handled those scenes. The shots have lots of grain and are very dark. I encoded a Hindi film Ittefaq with Slow and a custom command line, it took a long time. I encoded The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Medium and was very surprised with the retained detail. On my i7 8th Gen it takes 6-8 hours on Medium to encode a 1080p REMUX to H.265 with those settings. Some say there is no difference in picture quality when using Medium or Slow in H.265. It saves up more space than AC3 and HEVC encoding groups use it too. If you have compatible equipment to play AAC 5.1 you may want to encode the lossless track to AAC / 5.1 Channels / 320. I don't think you can hear the difference if you don't own high-end audio equipment and AC3 5.1 is the standard Core codec for Dolby's lossless TrueHD track. ![]() DTS and AAC can't, and it saves space too. 10-bit is also widely used, it prevents banding and I read that it compresses better.ĪC3 5.1 640k because it's compatible with most modern devices and can Direct Play in PleX. Open Handbrake > H.265 10-bit / RF 18 / Medium or Slow and encode the lossless DTS-HD / TrueHD / PCM track to AC3 / 5.1 Channels / 640.įor most popular encoding groups these basic settings are the standard.
