So that leaves you slower-paced NEW movies that can actually give you that 1080p quality. Hidden Figures falls into this category, where the 720p looks exactly the same as 1080p.

They use digital filters to make it look WORSE. Period-style movies are purposefully lower-resolution. The action onscreen is just too fast-paced. Even on my 65' 4k tv!įor CGI popcorn flicks, I really can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p with quality factor 19. After getting my hands on so many raw videos, I only have one thing to say:ġ080p is so wasteful for most movies. I use a separate disc extractor (DVDFab, main movie only), then Handbrake for encodes. There is further advice within his post.MeGUI x264 to re-encode the videos to smaller bitrates (he uses x264 because most devices can h/w decode it, including a firestick, while x265 has less support.EAC3TO to either compress or remove audio streams.mvmiller12 has an alternate method of reducing file sizes that uses.If you want to reduce the size of the movie, several here use Handbrake and defaultluser's post may help (I haven't tried that yet and I may not, given the amount of storage I have available.MakeMKV is recommended to remove extra audio streams/subtitles that you don't want and then converts the m2TS file to an MKV.If you're going to transcode on the fly you probably do not want to recompress/transcode the audio/video.So if someone stumbles across this and doesn't feel like reading it all here's a summary: Do you rip to a directory structure, an ISO or do you create an MKV (presumably uncompressed) of the movie?Īs I get closer to getting a NAS I need to think about how i'm going to do it so your thoughts are appreciated.
