Encoding Specifications
Here's the specs I use to encode my DVDs:
- HandBrake 1.0.2
- Matroska
- H.264
- Level 4.1 (what Blu-rays use)
- High Profile
- x264
- slow, slower, veryslow, or placebo preset (slow by default)
- animation, film, grayscale tuning
- smpte170m color matrix
- CRF 23 to 14 (as desired)
- Video
- detelecine or decomb as-needed
- 30 or 60 constant frames per second
- Audio
- AC3 re-encode or FDK AAC encode depending on desired quality
- VOBSUB or Closed Captioning as available
- Chapter markers
Or, a sample encode:
HandBrakeCLI --markers --cfr --title 10 --encoder x264 --quality 14 --rate 60 --encoder-profile high --encoder-level 4.1 --encoder-preset slow --encoder-tune animation --encopts colorprim=smpte170m:transfer=smpte170m:colormatrix=smpte170m --audio 1 --aencoder ac3 --subtitle 1 --input /home/steve/Media/Laundry-Basket/1.665.2017.TNTGO.iso --output 1.665.2017.17212.TNTGO.mkv
