This is a really rough guide and the compression side of things can take a lot of trial and error and learning what some more intricate options do. If you ever need to edit or make changes to a MKV file that doesn't require re-encoding you can use Make sure you DO NOT burn the subtitles.įinally, make sure you compress it to an MKV file as they are far easier to work with than MP4 when it comes to movies and tv shows. HB auto detects these but doesn't add them by default. Also make sure you add in subtitle tracks. Make sure you change the audio encoding to auto-passthrough or something not shit. I would recommend somewhere between a value of 18 and 21, probably close to 18 or 19. Use x2p movies, and x265 10 bit for cartoons and anime (even if the source is 8 bit, 10 bit encoding can help with color banding) Assuming you're not a complete trog you should be able to figure this out, if you can't there's tons of documentation online.Īdditionally, you should probably compress the exported mkv file with, however please for the love of all that is nice in the world research movie/tv show compression first and don't follow shitty "handbrake for gaming videos" guides on youtube.
