I just downgraded to 0.10.5.0 and I do not see an "Advanced tab. What the heck am I doing wrong?
Under the āVideo Tabā thereās a checkbox that enables āThe Advanced Tabā.
Note:
If you canāt find that checkboxā¦
you should know that āThe Advanced Tabā is where the real possibility exists that media will be created that wonāt play on anythingā¦ soā¦ letās be careful out thereā¦
There isnāt a reason to downgrade at the moment - generally speaking.
āCustom Anamorphicā exists in the newest version (Iām told) and āAutomaticā is working well in 1.0.7
Iāll have to upgrade the guide at some point - but not todayā¦

I have a pretty beefy machine im using for encoding with Handbrake for Plex but it seems with any of the settings you have listed for bluray its taking over 3X the movie length to finish. Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?System Stats:

What are your settings?
How many reference frames?
What have you changed in the Advanced Tab?
I have just upgraded to 1.1.0 - setting up a job nowā¦
Filters : off,
Video FPS same as source, Variable, Avg Bitrate 4800 for the newer action blurays, 2800 for non-action blurays.
Advanced Tab : level=4.1:vbv-bufsize=78125:vbv-maxrate=62500:ref=1:b-adapt=2:direct=auto:me=umh
Reference Frames = 1
2 pass?
I just set up this one:
Itās a very low grain, really pretty version of this classic - that I just found I didnāt have a good one of. I decided to use CQ due to the almost non-existent grain and in the advanced tab nothing has been changed except the reference frames and those are set to 4. A Preview with static to action of about half and half resulted in a bit rate of 4950Kbps, so I hit the button.
Should finish in the expected time I guess. About 75-85% of the time it would take to watch it and thatās fairly normal.
Mine - AMD FX-8350
Score: 8949
Yours - AMD FX-8150
Score: 7621
Are they that different?
I just donāt know, but would say not that differentā¦
Screenshots of my Video and Advanced Tab.
As for the CPUs they are almost the same. My system is water cooled with it overclocked to 4.2Ghz
Wellā¦ your Advanced Tab is way gone from the defaults - change everything back to the defaults in the Analysis Section. Itās the little things that mean a lot. Apparently.
I may have had those like that at one time - and probably decided it just didnāt matter that much.
My advanced tab matched what you had in the first page screenshots for bluray. I Reset them all to defaults except Reference Frames I left at 1. Ill encode Conan the Barbarian (1982) again to see the change in time.
Actual Movie Time : 2H9M 35Gig MVK ripped from Bluray
First Encode took 2h37m 7.5Gig File size
Second Encode : Estimated 1h41m 6.6Gig File Size
Seems like one of those advanced settings really screwed it up.
Well, that wasnāt too bad. A bit slower than mine, but so is your CPU. Par for the course, I would say.
Default all those Advanced Settings and that single reference frame should make up some time - at the cost of a slightly bigger file.
Ive got over 5 Terabytes ripped from Blurays to my PC so speed is the key with these encodes to my NAS.
Well - you canāt get 5 tons of cabbage on a 2 ton truckā¦
B)
I was hoping for a little shorter bit rate, but Itās The Dukeās last one, so Iāll take it. It sure is pretty.
About an hour and twenty Handbrake timeā¦:
My NAS is 24 Terabytes total. Ive already put 2500 Television Episodes on it along with 300 DVD movies, Now just working on the BluRay. So far everything with Plex and Roku are working perfectly together.
Thereās a 10,000 hard limit on Library Items for Roku:
Just for general info - if you think you might go there - donāt.
A few more libraries never hurt anyone:
Does placing items in collections reduce impact on that or not yet since they havent updated the Plex App on Roku for the new Collections information?
Beats me.
Youāll never catch me using a Collection. I use Sort Title instead. If itās one thing I donāt need is more button presses to do something Iāve been doing for years - quite successfully.
Thatās something you may want to bring up in that other thread.

only 900 Megs difference in the file sizes. Watched action scenes on both and couldnt see a difference.
JuiceWSA, have you happened to try Handbrake 1.1.0 20180408 (or the latest 1.1.1 20180618)?
1.1.0 added back the custom anamorphic.
- Added custom anamorphic to dimensions tab, itās back!

When I use these or any settings for that matter, I get a lot of artifacting in the result. This has been happening for quite some time, though it did not always do this. I cannot pinpoint when it started in order to change things. Itās like lagging frames and sometimes parts of the image go all bright green and its just pure garbage. This is a BluRay rip using MakeMKV and encoded in Handbrake. I normally use MKV to preserve optional subs but Iāve also tried MP4 with the same poor results. Any ideas?? The rips looks great in other players like Cyberlink PowerDVD and VLC.
EDIT: I think it has something to do with newer versions of Handbrake. I went down to 0.9.9.5530 and it seems to be working perfectly after doing some test chapters. Iāll encode full movies over night today and see what the result is tomorrow.
While I canāt quite bring myself to use the bitrate settings that you do, this is a fantastic guide. For years, Iāve had issues with a handful of DVD rips that were widescreen, but non-anamorphic (i.e. 4:3 ratio rather than 16:9). They would play just fine, but they would be boxed in on all four sides with black bars unless you manually zoomed the picture. I was always hesitant to mess with re-encoding as I did not want to sacrifice the quality of the original rip for the sake of fixing the issue. With your guide (and other reading Iāve done today), I was able to produce a 16:9 format version of the movies that previously gave me fits. My thanks!
FWIW, the flicks in question are:
- A Fistful of Dollars
- For a Few Dollars More
- The Princess Bride (the straw that broke this camelās backā¦
)
And for the record, I am using the most recent version of HandBrake v 1.1.2. As someone else mentioned upthread, theyāve brought back the āAdvancedā tab, and I was able to duplicate your settings pretty easily.
But Iām sure he would of thanked you and then debated with you, lol!!
If you care to readā¦ the reason whyā¦
