VC-1 to 2.64 Questions and workflow

Do your eyeballs cry when you watch it? No? It’s probably fine, but if you really need that 24GB file - match bit rates with the original using these settings:

You could encode the VC-1 rips and leave the others alone, if that’s what you want. I encode everything to those settings, but VC-1 has an express elevator ticket to the grinder as soon as it’s identified.

I rip everything with MakeMKV - then drop those on Handbrake.
You could do that with some bit rates that please you with VC-1 and let the others go unmolested.

I have Skiptrace (2016) in the grinder right now for an a 265 encode at 1650Kbps. I like the small file and great quality, but I don’t much care for the 4 hour encode I’m halfway through as we speak…lol
