Its my understanding that the quality is directly effected by the CPU gen. So, it could be my Haswell CPU, maybe newer chips do better or I need to play with my QS settings. The CPU looked better by quite a bit and was much smaller. QuickSync - Averaged 48.2fps - finished in ~5 mins - File size was 418mbĬPU/h.264/'slower' setting - Averaged 5.1fps - finished in ~20 mins - File size was 247mb I did High-profile R18 on both CPU and QS here is what I came up with. I encoded about 4 mins of a modern animated movies. This was done on a Dual core haswell, not my quad core, that machine was busy. QuickSync does not have as many options in handbrake as standard CPU encoding. now I don't really know what settings to use with it.

Hence why I can get away with only a 120SSD/2tbHDD on my plex server. I certainly don't waste HDD space on a movie that will never be watched again. I buy movies they will actually be watched over and over and rent movies that will only be watched one. Since our main TV the family watches movies is on has only a Roku Stick (newer fast as hell one) if I need to play a rental disk (Red Box) I just hook up the PS4 real quick.

Keep my closet warm and dries my jeans faster haha If I k Generally its under 10 hours to complete. Audio, for big epic movies I leave in the MA and a 320kbps DD, one off films I don't care as much about (Romantic comedy) I just do DD.Įncode time is all over the place, especially if someone is watching a movie while I encode. Subtitles, forced only, burn in (the only reason I HB in the first place) However if you have limited on a specific device, set accordingly. Level, I leave it default, plex handles it just fine. Pre-set speed to slower (or the slowest I can possibly stand with my QC Haswell) After selecting high profile here is what I edit, most of it is preference some is quality related:

I used to dabble in the advance tab, but it was just wasted time and clock cycles when something wasn't right, more often than not. Yea generally with handbrake and blue ray rips selecting the 'high profile' makes a pretty damm good file as is.
