I would, instead, compress your video into x , using the YouTube presets in your compression software. When you recompress, set it to 60 fps. If you are trying to display slow motion, create the slow motion in your video editing software, then, export a 60 fps master file.
This means that Facebook needs to create an 8-bit version of your video for distribution. This is also where you lose quality control. Instead, create an 8-bit H. All true. However, simply because you can record all that image data in the camera, does not mean you can distribute it. Look at all the television programs that were shot on film, yet displayed on standard-definition TV sets. Your email address will not be published.

Not a member? Can you help me by explaining this? I am backing up my bluray discs. File size is not the greatest issue so I wanted to go for file that including HD audio are around gb.
I do understand that it sounds conflicting. It is one of the reasons why I actually wrote the article — I have to think for a minute as well whenever I use Handbrake which is not very often. Now for HD Video, a higher number for CQ would be OK as the little bit of loss will be less noticeable the lower resolution of DVD for example, makes the same amount of loss much more visible to the viewer — I presume that is why quite a lor of user recommend a higher CQ value. When re-compressing a video, Handbrake first has to decompress the video.
Decompressing the video will not bring back this loss. During the original compression, some details already gort lost. However,… the resulting file will be ginormous. Hope this helps with the confusion. Thank you so much for your great article. Well written and well explained. I must disagree with you on one important point thou. Doing this will permanently destroy the original aspect ratio of your video.
Letterbox 2. This is a ratio. Once the video is cropped that ratio is gone, forever. If you try and play that video on a p screen which is , how is the video player going to know how to display the image? Now I know what you are thinking. But with modern codecs you are not really saving THAT much space. Sure it adds a little bit to the overall file size, but not much. The Director, Cinematographer, Editor, Producer, etc wanted you to see their work in a certain way.
Why destroy that? Give it a try for yourself to see the file size difference. Set up Handbrake the way you usually would. This article is an amazing first step.
Run your video through first with cropping. Now run it again. See, not really a huge difference. Other then the fact you can play it anywhere on any device and get proper ratio and proper up-scaling. You make a valid point concerning the black bars, especially since the actually space saving is minimal. So in hind sight; I agree! One is where the device is simply not capable to handle resizing properly, and this happens with older equipment, and makes the suggestion valid.
The other is modern device that do proper resizing, where encoding the black bars is not desired. Removing black bar is a better practice since your device will find the aspect ratio of video and it adds black bars at top and bottom of your video. There are lots of devices with different screen sizes.
So even with black bar inside your video, your devices will add its own black bar to fit it in its screen and you may get black bars two times with smaller video resolution.
I tend to agree with you — but other people have other preferences and in essence there is nothing wrong with having a different preference, especially when your device s do not handle things well without the black bars.
Just for the record: I do remove black bars, since my playback devices handle this just fine. I mean it can save a lot of disk space.. An additional downside is that h takes more time to compress. Any suggestions and tips are most welcome of course! Brother, stumbled upon your article and very glad I did! Very clear and informative. Got a million hits the first 24 hours.
I used to digitally record the shows and create video and audio files of the performances and upload them to the website. Until I was contacted by the attorney representing the contestant. Your tips are very much appreciated! Thanks again bro. I too started around tinkering with audio and video on the PC with the modified Microsoft MPEG4 codec, later called DivX ;- … Feel free to post your link here and post my link on your website hahah!
Very cool! I wonder if video encoders really use the full potential of our computers? Thank you for posting a thank-you! I agree with your issue with h — I have the same issue here. Most playback devices cannot handle this just yet — with the exception of a few devices that either have a great processor i7 or hardware encoding depends on GPU. Space efficiency is pretty good though, but I hear mixed messages on h vs h Handbrake automatically crops the black bars away.
Keep in mind that Handbrake has been around for a while and the developers and community around Handbrake is a very active one. The flickering line can be a reside from information like Teletext, etc. You can crop that out in Handbrake by taking away that or those lines. I have seen it before with PAL sources. My guess is that video encoders try to use the mac they can get Handbrake uses multiple cores!
Now, having said that: the difference in quality is not noticeable for everybody, I do however see the difference especially with fast changing sceneries. Haha, cool! Is this true? Can I do this for editing? Both are so called containers, as is AVI. However, the layout and capabilities of these containers are very different.
The website you mentioned is kind-a sketchy in my opinion. Their products will most likely work OK though, so if it serves your purpose go ahead. But I just find it a little misleading. It takes a few more clicks, but it works Windows and MacOS. Or … Rip your home-made straight to AVI. Here VLC can be helpful again see this article.
WOW, thank you so much. Your detailed answer is so much helpful. I have VLC on my computer for media playing, and it can even convert videos. Thanks for this been going out of my mind messing around with handbrake but these settings are good enough for my eyes! Looks really good on my tv.. Thanks for this. Maybe give Express Burn the free version a try.
Note: The resolution of DVD around p is rather poor compared to what your recording may be most cellphones do p or even 4K. This can be a little challenging on a Mac in my experience , so if you have Windows PC available to format the USB stick then you should be able to work with that on your Mac. Hope this helps. Inconvenient though. What could be is that you video is too long time to be converted to DVD quality? How long is your video, timewise? I love Handbrake and have compresses thousands of videos, usually all under 1 hour, however last week, oh and I always use same exact setting, very fast p30, MP4and they always are beautiful!

Optimizing Video Encoder Settings Optimizing or fine tuning of video encoders comes basically down to: What file size do I want? What quality do we want? How fast should encoding go? Personally I believe that fine tuning should be a balance between file size and quality. Preferred setting in HandBrake: MP4.
Preferred setting in HandBrake: h The Placebo setting goes totally nuts on quality, and takes forever to complete. Movie versus Cartoon. HandBrake — Encoder presets for h Related Articles. Sep 4, - AM - hans Comment Link. Thanks Eliel for the feedback! Sep 12, - PM - jfjfjf Comment Link. Hi Rudi, thanks for your feedback.
Hi Galen! I made the suggested correct. Jul 6, - AM - karn Comment Link. Very useful tips. Thank you for the easily understood explanations of the settings. Hi Hans, rare name for a someone in the techy business, are you my cousin? So your comment is valid for very particular applications both software and purpose for sure.
Oct 9, - PM - anonymous Comment Link. The recommended best practice when adjusting these settings manually is to choose the slowest encoder preset that encodes comfortably fast on your computer, and accept subtle quality and file size variations. Higher RF values lead to lower picture quality and smaller file sizes, while lower RF values lead to higher picture quality and larger file sizes. You can read more about this on the Adjusting quality article.
Here, we see that lower quality encodes complete faster. In essence, discarding fine details is faster than working hard to preserve them. So, in addition to being a major factor in file size, the video quality setting is a major factor in encoding speed and total encoding time. Resolution is calculated in two dimensions width and height. For example, p High Definition video is pixels wide and pixels tall, sometimes expressed as x By multiplying these figures, we can calculate how many pixels each video frame comprises.
Compared to p Standard Definition video x , which is , pixels or about 0. From this, we can infer the additional computation encoding a High Definition Blu-ray video in its original resolution will require longer encoding times and create larger file sizes to store all the extra information compared to encoding a Standard Definition DVD video.
The higher resolution encodes take more time and create larger file sizes. The lower resolution encodes take less time and create smaller file sizes, at the expense of significantly reducing detail. It is a good idea to increase the quality by lowering RF points for lower resolution encodes, as small defects in quality can become more apparent when the video is scaled up to fill a large display.
Likewise, higher resolution encodes usually do not need as high quality to look good, as minimal or no scaling is necessary on modern displays. In practical terms, the resolution of your Source video and the Preset you select will be a major factor in file size, encoding speed, and total encoding time.
Others, such as the EEDI2 deinterlacing filter or NLMeans denoising filter, are more computationally expensive and can be even slower than video encoders. Despite this, it is excellent for restoring Sources with prominent visual noise and grain. Even with a relatively clean Source like the one used here, the noise reduction performed by NLMeans allowed the video encoder to achieve a Most video encoders we compared have speed presets, and faster encoder presets will perform better, potentially at the expense of larger file sizes and slight quality losses.
The overall quality setting or average bit rate will also impact encoding speed, with higher quality and bit rate settings significantly increasing the time required to complete encodes. You can improve encoding performance by using a faster video encoder, a faster encoder preset, and lowering the video quality or average bit rate. Where the highest quality and smallest file sizes are not top priority, hardware encoders may be a good choice on less powerful computers.
Higher resolution encodes take longer and produce larger file sizes, while retaining additional detail compared to faster, lower resolution encodes. Some filters are computationally expensive and can bottleneck the encoding process regardless of video encoder settings, notably the EEDI2 deinterlacer and the NLMeans denoiser.
Due to the widespread availability of interlaced content in the world today, the Decomb deinterlacer is enabled in all HandBrake official Presets except the Production Presets. Also enabled is the Interlacing Detection filter, which ensures only interlaced frames are deinterlaced, leaving progressive frames untouched.
