For Framerate, select “Same As Source”, and check “Constant Framerate”. If your media player can handle H.265 video, there’s a pretty good chance it will play 10-Bit video as well. 10-Bit allows for a much wider range of available colours, and gives a cleaner encode with less artefacts. Regardless of your source file, these settings will give you a nicely combed progressive file. Now move on to “Filters”ĭefault settings here are also correct. Leave Cropping set to Automatic, Anamorphic set to Automatic, and Fill set to None. Just be sure to select either 576p or 480p from the resolution limit, depending on your source file dimensions. Then go on to the “Dimensions” tabĮverything should be ok here by default. There is not much to do in this tab, just make sure the format is set to MKV and Passthru Common Metadata is unchecked. You should find yourself on the “Source” tab. Now we have identified what kind of video our source file is, it’s time to open handbrake and drop it in. If your DVD is 576 lines high, you will see something like below: If your DVD is 480 lines high, you will see something like 720*480 in the first video streams details. Thankfully there is a great free tool called Mediainfo you can use to find out what you have. Before we start encoding we need to identify which one your source file is. MY SOURCE FILE – DVD Video from different countries generally comes in two different sizes, 480 pixels high and 576 pixels high. The version of Handbrake used in this tutorial is v1.6.1 which is the current stable release for March 2023. The video is encoded on a 2 year iMac with I7 processor. I play the media from a Apple TV 4K, and use the Infuse Pro player app. I viewing position is about 10-12 feet back. THE TECHNICAL STUFF – My TV is a 65″ Samsung 4K UHD. THE GOAL – To produce the highest quality video with the smallest possible file size, whilst creating a 5.1 Digital Sound Track that is compatible with most players and TV’sĭISCLAIMER – This method will produce very nice quality videos, but may take SEVERAL hours to process each hour of video! Unfortunately, good quality video with small file size cant be done quickly, it just doesn’t work that way. IMPORTANT – Before you begin, drop your source DVD file into Mediainfo and identify if the video stream is 480 or 576 size!

If you have a 4K Television and a newer media player H.265 is best, so use these instructions below. If you have a 1080 HD TV and an older media player you will want to use H.264 – See THIS ARTICLE for instructions.
