If the video itself is 2.35 or greater aspect ratio, I'll use BDSUP2SUB to "move" all of the subtitles out of the frame, so that they appear above or below the actual picture (this works very well when using Kodi - Media Player Classic ignores this. Why x264 instead of x265? Pretty much everything hardware decodes x264, including the cheap Amazon FireTV stick. Note that I use custom-tweaked profiles on my videos to enhance visual quality at these lower bitrates. This is compared to the raw Blue-Ray rips, which use around 25GB each.įor the record, I rip my BluRays using AnyDVD HD and EAC3TO (ripping/converting audio to AC3 640 - audio system is only DD 5.1) and then use MeGUI x264 to re-encode the videos to smaller bitrates (2 stage, usually 3500 - nearly indistinguishable on most films on my 4K TV, will re-encode again at a higher bitrate for those where there is a noticeable difference in quality).

Or, even if you let Handbrake keep the original quality 1080p at 19 constant quality (average 5GB per-title), it will still give you hundreds of movie s on a 2TB drive. If you're picky like me (and can use h.265), you can store an entire move library on 1TB or less (average of 3GB per-title). 20 is nearly the same as source for slower movies. In my experience, 19 is exactly the same as-source, even for fast-motion movies. You just have to take the time to see the results of a few sample runs, and chose your favorite settings. Handbrake Constant-quality single-pass gives me better compression, and takes half the time. Multi-pass encoding is old and pointless. 20 quality level usually works.ħ20p and 600p (1000 horizontal resolution) for popcorn flicks and everything older, I use 19 for fast-action, and 20 for slower. The Handbrake x265 encoder is so much faster than it used to be, that I encode two settings, and just choose the best:ħ20p and 1080p for new slower-paced movies. High-quality cameras and lenses used to be way more expensive then they now are, and real-time digital processing in the camera has fixed a lot of poor exposures/focus you see in 1990s-and-earlier films. But how you CAPTURE that onto the film determines how crappy the final result is. If you down-sample the video to it's ACTUAL resolution, you stop wasting space, while it looks the same.ģ5mm film is CAPABLE of 4k resolution.

But the vast majority are 720p or less (the rest of that picture being blur and film grain). There just isn't enough detail put into most of these to justify the higher resolution.Īs for older movies (1990s and earlier), if they were stored correctly, AND filmed with high-end equipment, you MIGHT get something with more than 720p of ACTUAL resolution. Atomic Blonde comes to mind as one of the few from last year that really kicks-ass at 1080p.Īnimation looks the same at 720p as it does at 1080p. So that leaves you slower-paced NEW movies that can actually give you that 1080p quality. Hidden Figures falls into this category, where the 720p looks exactly the same as 1080p. They use digital filters to make it look WORSE. Period-style movies are purposefully lower-resolution. The action onscreen is just too fast-paced. Even on my 65" 4k tv!įor CGI popcorn flicks, I really can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p with quality factor 19. After getting my hands on so many raw videos, I only have one thing to say:ġ080p is so wasteful for most movies. I use a separate disc extractor (DVDFab, main movie only), then Handbrake for encodes. There is further advice within his post.MeGUI x264 to re-encode the videos to smaller bitrates (he uses x264 because most devices can h/w decode it, including a firestick, while x265 has less support.EAC3TO to either compress or remove audio streams.mvmiller12 has an alternate method of reducing file sizes that uses.If you want to reduce the size of the movie, several here use Handbrake and defaultluser's post may help (I haven't tried that yet and I may not, given the amount of storage I have available.MakeMKV is recommended to remove extra audio streams/subtitles that you don't want and then converts the m2TS file to an MKV.
#Kodi makemkv stream addon iso#
Do you rip to a directory structure, an ISO or do you create an MKV (presumably uncompressed) of the movie?Īs I get closer to getting a NAS I need to think about how i'm going to do it so your thoughts are appreciated.
