Handbrake#
I use Handbrake to convert my videos into MP4 (M4V) format.
Conversion Settings#
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.
SD Settings#
I have three SD presets that only differ by the “x264 Tune” setting for Film (most everything), 2D Animation, or Grain.
Picture
Width/Height: nil (let it auto-correct)
Anamorphic: Loose
Modulus: 2
Cropping: Automatic
Filters
Detelecine: Off

Encoder Tune: None, Animation, or Grain (depends on the source - I change this per item ripped)
Fast Decode: Unchecked
Encoder Profile: Auto
Encoder Level: Auto
Advanced Options: Empty

Audio
Track 1:
Source: The best sound track on there with the most channels. (It usually does a good job of auto-detecting.)
Codec: AAC (avcodec)
Bitrate: 256
Mixdown: Dolby Pro Logic II
Samplerate: Auto
DRC: 0
Gain: 0
Track Name: [Leave this empty]
Track 2:
Source: Same as Track 1.

Subtitles:
Source: Foreign Audio Scan
Forced Only: Checked
Burn In: Checked
Default: Unchecked
Chapters: I do select “Create chapter markers” but I let the automatic detection do the naming and timing.
Using these settings, I calculated SD content for me uses an average of 18.73MB/minute.
HD Settings#
My HD settings are almost the same as my SD settings with the following differences:
Video
Quality:
For Film: Constant Quality RF 21
For Grain: Constant Quality RF 21
For Animation: Constant Quality RF 20
Research#
Move to H.265#
On July 30, 2023, I switched from H.264 encoding to H.265 for video. H.265 requires more processing power than H.264, so it was originally less compatible with my devices. However, as time has gone on and devices have been upgraded, most of my devices now have the power to support H.265. For standard HD content and lower, if needed, the Plex server can transcode to H.264.
For 4K content, HDR requires 10-bit encoding. This does seem generally available in H.264, but H.265 stores the same data in about half the file size and allows for better streaming without transcoding. Since more content recently has been moving to 4K, the transition to H.265 is required to facilitate that.
Figuring HD Settings#
I started my testing by checking out links like the Rokoding guide to 1080p encoding. These give some great guidance and help you know where to begin.
In testing to find the right HD settings, I went through a few different movies. I found the output size was very different based on the movie type and the x264 Tune setting.

In all cases, just as with the SD presets, I had a stereo mixdown audio track and an original/surround passthrough track. I didn’t keep extra tracks like commentary, etc. (For Cinderella I had two passthrough tracks - the 5.1 DTS-HD and the original mono DTS-HD.)
I’ve seen in some forum posts and videos that folks want to change the number of reference frames to 4 (ref=4) in advanced settings, but the intent is always to increase the number of reference frames used. Using MediaInfo I could see that the default number of reference frames used was 5 (ref=5) so I stopped messing with it.
For 300, the file was very hard to shrink much because of the details in the grainy appearance. Too much more and you start noticing unfortunate artifacts around edges. Only 7% of this file was audio; the rest is all video.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I seemed to create an unusually small file regardless of the RF number. It made me curious why the original was so big. The same thing happened with Alice in Wonderland, though it’s not as apparent: Wonderland has a DTS-HD MA soundtrack that I allowed to pass through (I like having the original audio) and that track alone took 3GB - 38% of the file size under RF21.
Across the Universe had a larger video size than either Mockingjay or Wonderland. With only 427MB of the size coming from sound, the majority of that file size truly is video. I’m unclear if this is an anomaly.
Cinderella is a pretty decent example of standard, full-frame (4:3) 2D animation, at least from the movies I have (Disney classics). The sound - a stereo mixdown track, a DTS-HD 5.1 track, and a DTS-HD mono track - was about 2.5GB of the file size. The video was closer to 30% with the rest being audio. Visually, honestly, I couldn’t really tell the difference between the RF 21 and RF 20 and both looked amazingly clear, so I didn’t bother going any further with it. I may have been able to squeeze it more, but given the majority of the file is sound, it would be diminishing returns.
The HD video “sweet spot” for Grain and Film seems to be RF 21; for 2D animation I like RF 20. Those numbers seem a good balance between file size and quality and they follow the rough guideline I’ve seen for 22+/-1 for HD.
HD video done with the Film setting at RF 21 seemed to take my Megaplex server around 3 - 4 hours to complete. 300, on the grainy setting, took closer to 6 - 7 hours. 2D animation ran about 2 hours.
Of course, these end up being “guidelines” rather than “rules.” I start here, and after the conversion I’ll see if I need to reconvert with different settings. I ended up keeping the RF 18 version of Mockingjay.
Using these settings, I calculated HD content for me uses an average of 80.72MB/minute.
Subtitles#
I learned a lot about subtitles in doing video conversion. If you’re like me, you never thought much about how they work - the text just comes up on the screen as needed.
Handbrake has a really good page explaining things from a technical perspective but it breaks down in my world like this:
Handbrake can read all of the standard subtitle types you’ll find on discs.
If you’re using the MP4 format like me, you can either permanently “burn in” the subtitles to the video image or you don’t get subtitles at all. This is because MP4 doesn’t let you keep a separate subtitle track the way MKV does.
Since I am fortunate enough to only need subtitles in non-English-speaking films or in parts during English-speaking films where they switch languages, this is less an issue, but it does require you “flip a switch” in Handbrake to tell it to include the subtitles.
General Subtitles: This is for a foreign language film where you always want the subtitles on through the whole movie. Think “English speaker watching a Kung Fu movie.”
Forced Subtitles: This is for a native language film where you only need subtitles for the few foreign language parts. Think “Black Widow getting interrogated by the Russians in ‘The Avengers’.”
Here’s how to get subtitles in your movie:
First, choose which, if any, kind of subtitles you want.
Switch to the “Subtitles” tab in Handbrake.
Click “Add Track” to add a subtitle track.
For your chosen subtitle type…
For general subtitles, select the language of the subtitles you want and click the “Burn In” checkbox.
For forced subtitles, select “Foreign Audio Scan” as the language and click both the “Forced Only” and “Burn In” checkboxes.
Even though I’ve added forced subtitles to my user presets JSON (below), the default doesn’t seem to keep - you need to re-check the “forced only” box each time.
It’s important to look at the output when you expect subtitles. I found that sometimes there are multiple English tracks and sometimes you get the wrong one. There are tips for troubleshooting on the Handbrake subtitle page.
Additional tips for subtitles:
This forced subtitles Google Doc spreadsheet is an incomplete but ever-growing list of movies that have forced subtitles in them. It can help determine if you need to switch on forced subs.
SubtitleEdit is a tool for inspecting and editing subtitles. I use it to figure out where the subtitles start and end (looking at the source ripped content) so I can narrow down what I should look at in the end conversion.
Lip Sync Issues#
I discovered after the first round of scanning movies that there were issues with graininess, cropping, and lip sync on some movies. I rescanned them. After rescan, these still had some issues:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) - Possible naturally bad sync. Everything is off by just a couple of frames.
Christmas Vacation (1989) - Possible naturally bad sync. Some scenes are right on, some are off by a couple of frames.
Elf (2003) - Possible naturally bad sync. Some scenes are right on, some are off by a couple of frames.
Eraser (1996) - Possible naturally bad sync. Some scenes are right on, some are off by a couple of frames.
GI Jane (1997) - Possible naturally bad sync. Some scenes are right on, some are off by a couple of frames.
Iron Monkey (1993) - Almost looks like the wrong language, but this is apparently normal for some Cantonese films - they overdub themselves.
It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002) - Possible naturally bad sync. Everything is just a little off.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) - This is a variable frame rate movie and it seems to have naturally bad sync. Switching to constant frame rate makes some of the sections stutter.
Labyrinth (1986) - Possible naturally bad sync.
Lethal Weapon (the entire series) - All of these seem to have naturally bad sync.
Maverick (1994) - Possible naturally bad sync. Some scenes are right on, some are off by a couple of frames.
I stopped tracking the complete list. It kind of sucks, but it is what it is.
Part of the way I fixed this was to start using constant frame rate in some my conversions rather than variable frame rate. I noticed that, as a general rule, this reduced or removed many of the lip sync problems I saw.
Remote Queue Monitoring#
Handbrake has a command-line interface and good scripting abilities, but it doesn’t have an official way to monitor the status of the queue.
Not that it’s super important, but I’m curious to see how things are progressing without having to remote all the way in. The way I solved that was with a PowerShell script and OneDrive.
Handbrake stores the queue XML in the %AppData%\Handbrake folder. The files are always named like hb_queue_recovery1234.xml. I set up a scheduled task to generate a small text report of the most recently written queue XML file and dump it in a OneDrive folder. That way I can see the state of the queue from anywhere.
Here’s the script I used:
$reportFile = "C:\Users\Travis\OneDrive\QueueStatus.txt"
$handbrakeDir = Join-Path ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("ApplicationData")) -ChildPath "Handbrake"
[XML]$queue = Get-ChildItem -Path $handbrakeDir -Filter "hb_queue*.xml" |
Sort-Object -Property LastWriteTime -Descending |
Select-Object -First 1 |
Get-Content
$queue.ArrayOfQueueTask.QueueTask |
Select-Object -Property @{n='Status';e={$_.Status}},@{n='Source';e={$_.Task.Source}},@{n='Destination';e={$_.Task.Destination}} |
Format-Table -AutoSize |
Out-String -Width 4096 |
Out-File $reportFile -Force
The report output looks like this:

Reporting Media Info#
I used a script to calculate video media average sizes for my collection, the result of which I posted on the video format page. The script I used is here:
$mediaShare = "\\DISKSTATION\video"
function Get-MediaInfo
{
param([Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)] $path)
Begin
{
$shell = New-Object -COMObject Shell.Application
Write-Progress -Activity "Scanning media info" -Status "Starting scan"
}
Process
{
Write-Progress -Activity "Scanning media info" -Status $path
$fileSize = Get-Item $path | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Length
$folder = Split-Path $path
$file = Split-Path $path -Leaf
$shellFolder = $shell.Namespace($folder)
$shellFile = $shellFolder.ParseName($file)
# Good stuff! https://powershell.com/cs/blogs/tobias/archive/2011/01/07/organizing-videos-and-music.aspx
# 27 = Length in H:M:S format
# 299 = Frame height
# 301 = Frame width
[int]$frameWidth = $shellFolder.GetDetailsOf($shellFile, 301)
[int]$frameHeight = $shellFolder.GetDetailsOf($shellFile, 299)
$length = [System.TimeSpan]::Parse($shellFolder.GetDetailsOf($shellFile, 27))
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property (@{'Path'=$path;'Size'=$fileSize;'Width'=$frameWidth;'Height'=$frameHeight;'Length'=$length})
}
End
{
Write-Progress -Activity "Scanning media info" -Status "Done" -Completed
}
}
$allMediaInfo = Get-ChildItem $mediaShare -File -Recurse | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName | Get-MediaInfo
$sdMediaInfo = $allMediaInfo | Where-Object { $_.Width -le 720 }
$hdMediaInfo = $allMediaInfo | Where-Object { $_.Width -gt 720 }
$hdLength = [System.TimeSpan]::Zero
$sdLength = [System.TimeSpan]::Zero
$hdMediaInfo | ForEach-Object { $hdLength = $hdLength.Add($_.Length) }
$sdMediaInfo | ForEach-Object { $sdLength = $sdLength.Add($_.Length) }
$hdSize = $hdMediaInfo | Measure-Object -Sum -Property Size | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum
$sdSize = $sdMediaInfo | Measure-Object -Sum -Property Size | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Sum
Write-Host "Total files: " $allMediaInfo.Count

Additional References#
Rokoding has great information on encoding video with particular emphasis on Roku compatibility.
The Matt Gadient best settings guide for Handbrake 0.9.9 is indispensible. Great side-by-side comparisons for things so you can tell what settings actually do.
User Presets#
The following is my set of presets. As of Handbrake 1.x the user presets appear in a “folder” in the %AppData%\Handbrake\presets.json file. You should be able to save this JSON, right-click in the presets in Handbrake, and import these. Then you’ll see the same settings as me.
(You can also download/view this as a gist.)
