ginjaninja 533 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 would anyone deviate from the general advice in this blog for bluray film encoding? Im finding them to yield significantly better results (seemingly same quality, much reduced fileize) than scene rips x264 Preset Very Slow Tune: Film Profile: High Level 4.1 Framerate: same as source/variable Constant Quality: 20 RF Audio: DTS Path through Subtitles and Chapters: All Resolution 1920 Cropping automatic For the filesize roughly of 720p im getting 1080p in the same quality Does scene use smaller than 20 RF and im just not telling difference?

Tranquil 93 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Never tried to find the best settings for handbrake yet, but I'm currently working on converting my library to h265. Scene does not use h265 yet, the only definition from the scene I found yet: http://pastebin.com/N1pfjvAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's about where I ended up through trial and error. Just be sure to double check the cropping, handbrake can get a bit over-zealous in cropping the sides of videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillout 85 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 How does x265 work with streaming devices? Are Rokus compatable and if not can Emby transcode a x265 signal into x264 for streaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginjaninja 533 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I have found more blogs saying x264 is better for bluray 1080p ripping than x265. Those who support x264 say that x265 excels at much lower bits rates than what we are talking about...at this quality it tends to blur too much and loose detail. that x265 is designed for broadcast where bandwidth is the bigger issue than quality. that x264 is more 'mature' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjktg99 34 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just in reference to your audio, DTS Pass Thru is assuming that the source audio is also DTS. I convert all my audio to DD 5.1 even DTS. My main reason for that is because my TV can deode DD but not DTS (my amp needs to be on for DTS Audio from the Roku) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I convert all my audio to DD 5.1 even DTS. My main reason for that is because my TV can deode DD but not DTS (my amp needs to be on for DTS Audio from the Roku) I like to keep the best quality original sounds as my default track and encode an equivalent AAC track as a backup for devices that can't handle it. So if I've got TrueHD 7.1 I'll also have 7.1 AAC as a backup. Audio transcoding is pretty light work though so I don't often use the latter.

ginjaninja 533 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just Did an x265 encoding on tune:none, profile:none rf 20 @ 1080p, very slow the video bit rate is 2Mbits vs the DTS 1.5Mbits..insane it took 6 times longer to encode 1hr:41 minutes @ nearly 14 hours. I cant tell the quality with x264 settings above apart on mpc-hc...and its 2.6GB rather than 3.93GB seems like a good option if storage is tighter and encoding horsepower is abundant..although not so great for quality if clients require transcoding id suspect (vs x264 native playback).

squarepeg 5 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Can anyone suggest what settings to use for a blu ray so it can just use direct play instead of having to transcode? It seems odd that I use MakeMKV to convert the blu ray to MKV files and then use handbrake to make the file smaller but Emby then transcodes it when playing via my Roku. I'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused Hi, the Roku video player doesn't support bluray folders, so this is why you see transcoding. For the best experience possible we recommend converting to mkv.

squarepeg 5 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Thanks Luke, I've worked it out now - I use AAC(FDK) audio and H264 in MKV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
