For some people, low-bitrate is key to maximum compatibility of video with various mobile devices. There are lots of reasons to create low-bitrate video, and Handbrake is about the best at this task. He’s using a reasonable workflow if the focus is on quality at lowest bitrates. It didn’t seem very respectful to me, perhaps that is why I resorted to credentials and details to try to open some acceptance of alternative workflows. The OP asked how to do quality equivalent to Handbrake, and got “you’re doing it wrong” in response. Other contributors seem to assume he’s wrong about that. In the following post, he explains that he has gotten better quality using Handbrake at. That’s not what I got out of the first post. Thank you for your credentials and for your mini-lecture.īut, did you read the original post? The OP says he already made an *MP4* (H264) file - he produced a delivery-codec video. Have you recently installed software that includes codecs, or, a codec pack? A re-install of Handbrake might fix that. To the original poster - have you updated to the latest version of Handbrake? That’s the first thing you could look at. Of course, creating the slimmest and best render isn’t always the task, as what an NLE creates natively can be good for many purposes, but not all! Handbrake is a primary tool, including not only best-practices x264, but also Lanczos scaling, and Yadif deinterlacing, with a not-bad batch processor.įor most NLE users, creating the slimmest and best render does indeed mean a two-step process, export in some mastering format from the NLE (DNxHD? Cineform?), then compress for distribution in Handbrake. I write all this with some authority, having started in webcasting in the dark ages of the 1990s, and, as an instructor who currently teaches a college course in compression and streaming. x264 wins! In some cases, by a mile, as the OP stated. The meaningful measure is quality at a given bitrate. One shouldn’t blithely assume all compression codecs are created equal - they’re not. Handbrake is state of the art in every respect, including, the best codec available for h.264, the x264 codec.
