-====== 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. Therefore, tell HandBrake one to use same defaults: 
- 
-<code> 
-HandBrakeCLI -e x264 -a none -s none --stop-at frame:30 -x keyint=250:min-keyint=25 -o handbrake.mkv input.mpg 
-</code>
