I found the output size was very different based on the movie type and the x264 Tune setting. In testing to find the right HD settings, I went through a few different movies. These give some great guidance and help you know where to begin. I started my testing by checking out links like the Rokoding guide to 1080p encoding. My HD settings are almost the same as my SD settings with the following differences: Using these settings, I calculated SD content for me uses an average of 18.73MB/minute. (It usually does a good job of auto-detecting.)Ĭhapters: I do select “Create chapter markers” but I let the automatic detection do the naming and timing. Source: The best sound track on there with the most channels. I have three SD presets that only differ by the “x264 Tune” setting for Film (most everything), 2D Animation, or Grain.Įncoder Tune: Film, Animation, or Grain (depends on the source – I change this per item ripped) My entire set of user presets in JSON format compatible with Handbrake 1.x is pasted below, but for ease of use I’ve also outlined what it looks like in the UI so you can replicate it that way.
