Handbrake blu ray encode very big1/18/2024 ![]() ![]() Unfortunately they’ve removed the snapshots – I don’t know why, except they may be close to a final new release. ![]() Have you got a direct link, or is it possible for you to make the latest snapshot available at your web server? No snapshots … the main download page i look at is, and searching for it within the HandBrake page just reveals this: which announces “no snapshots”. Even on my 9’ HD projection unit I cannot tell the difference between the original and the encoded movie using the High Profile during A/B tests. Blu-ray encodes are *vastly* oversized, in effect “wasting” large amounts of space. And even with that preset the quality is very very good (not *quite* up to my standard, but I have very high standards:>). Using the standard preset will shrink the movie further – around 20% further. A movie that is comparatively “scrubbed” (like animated movies) can be less than 1.5GB per hour. A movie with a lot of grain in it (like The African Queen, or Saving Private Ryan) might well clock in at 8-11GB an hour. I use the High Profile strictly, and movies encoded at that rate average around 3.5GB per hour of movie. Just a sidenote question: The resulting MKV file from this 2.5h movie is around 4.8GB in size … it sounds a bit small? It this correct?ĭepending on how it’s encoded that size seems fine. Also I’d recommend VLC for playback (with it you can playback the m2ts files to examine things more closely if you need to). Those blus with episodes (like TV shows) you’ll need to rip each m2ts file separately (you can use BDInfo still to find out what’s what). This will work on everything, I promise (I’ve ripped over 200 blu-rays with zero difficulties, including proper playback on the Live). IN those bases BDInfo will identify the playlist file, which you should load into tsMuxer and remux into a single TS file, which you then use in Handbrake. That’s about it except for those occasions when the largest m2ts file is NOT the movie. Use Handbrake to encode said m2ts file into MKV, using the High Standard preset (except change to MKV container for type and pass through either the AC3 or DTS audio track). Use BDinfo to examine rip to see what is the movie file (usually largest m2ts file in STREAM folder) Rip blu-ray to hard drive with AnyDVD HD. Nothing free works as well and as consistenly and is constantly updated). Let’s recap real quickly here (all software is freeware except for AnyDVD HD, which is HIGHLY recommended. I’m going to have to write up my workflow and post it on one of my web sites. Even within the same source material, a Blu-Ray might have a newer/better/different transfer, so even then, you can't really just scale up the size based on the resolution.Sigh. There's too many other factors with modern video compression otherwise. I'd also only consider your size comparisons between a Blu-Ray source and a DVD source as really valid if you are doing it on the same content. Could you give an example of what 2 things you are comparing that the size difference is surprising to you? It's almost certainly down to the content being the reason. I had assumed to Handbrake would upscale if you told it to do 720P, apparently not? Anyway, the rest of what I said is still true. I mis-understood what you were saying, and I'll defer to mduell on the upscale. A 720P Blu-ray is 2 2/3rds as many pixels per frame. ![]() If you use 720 on a DVD, you are upscaling 720x480 to 1280x720, which is the HD 720P frame size. I think your confusion is that the 720 in DVDs is actually the horizontal resolution (it's 720x480), not the vertical, which the HD spec is. ![]()
