| - | ====== HandBrake and x264 ====== | ||
| - | I'm trying to document a number of changes in encoding which I won't go into here, but I started with the base idea of I want to be able to duplicate HandBrake (1.0.2) and x264's (20160920, same as HandBrake) encoding settings. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To get the x264 encoding settings, I use [[mediainfo]], and process it with a script I call [[x264_info]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | There's a difference between HandBrake's and x264's default settings. Based on the x264 defaults, here's the updates to the HandBrake ones. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Base ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Do a simple x264 encode: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | x264 --muxer mkv --frames 30 -o x264.mkv input.mpg | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | And a simple HandBrake encode: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | HandBrakeCLI -e x264 -a none -s none --stop-at frame:30 -o handbrake.mkv input.mpg | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | HandBrake sets keyint to 240 and keyint-min to 24, while x264's is 250 and 25. HandBrake also sets the default CRF to 22 instead of 23. Therefore, tell HandBrake one to use same defaults: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | HandBrakeCLI -e x264 -a none -s none --stop-at frame:30 -x keyint=250 -q 23 -o handbrake.mkv input.mpg | ||
| - | </code> | ||
