seperis | Handbrake and the Video Encoding Project

So that literally took ten days, but to be fair...I got nothing.

Before I post, a couple of updates: number of movies was reduced to four, as encoding the last one coincided with an Ubuntu update and I have no idea of how long it was delayed.

First: hardware

CPU: Intel Pentium (R) G2120 @ 3.10 GHz
RAM: 16 GB DRAM
Bluray: LG Super Multi Blue Internal SATA 16x Blu-ray Disc Rewriter OEM Amazon link
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

Encoder: H.265

The base presets:
Matroska->H.265 MKV 2160p60
Constant Quality: 24 RF (default)
Audio Selection:
- All matching language (English)
- Auto Passthru - MP3, AAC, AC3, EAC3, DTS, DTS-HD, TrueHD, FLAC
- Passthru Fallback: AAC
- Only encoder is auto-passthru
Subtitle Selection:
- All matching language (English)
- Add Foreign Audio Scan Pass
- Add English Subtitle Track if default audio is not Engligh
- Burn in behavior: None
- Bluray and DVD burn-in deselected

All rips were done using MakeMKV with all available English audio and all available English subtitles.

This is a brief summary. Full results, including number and type of audio tracks, can be found in the main spreadsheet - Handbrake Test Batch

Feel free to ask any questions 4K to 1080p batch test starts in about five minutes.

At some point during or after this test run, I'm going to try and put together a basic MakeMKV tutorial on how to rip a movie and a basic Handbrake tutorial (or link to a really good one) as well as a list of resources for people just learning ripping and encoding. It can be ridic overwhelming--witness my near breakdown just with audio codecs!--but the basics honestly are pretty easy and it's basically a matter of googling or just experimenting after that. It's when you get weird like me and WANT TO KNOW WHY that everything goes to hell.

If anyone has written or wants to write a tutorial on how they use their favorite ripping and/or video encoding program, I'd love a link and put it on the resource list. And feel free to ask if you have questions. I love questions

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

Jenn: Because you are an addict.
Jenn: There are twelve step programs for this.

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.
