Foreword: this one turned out--weird. For two reasons:

1.) Ubuntu had to update three times during Captain Marvel and slows down my server until I obey. Three times in forty-eight hours.
2.) results are selectively inconsistent with others in terms of percentages and time, specifically Captain Marvel, which was the only one that didn't follow the others. This could possibly be because of Captain Marvel having to restart.

Notes:
1.) I stopped while I was out of town last weekend so am starting the 1080p30 now.
2.) I'll now be doing all the 720p30s and redoing Captain Marvel V9 2160p60 when that's done

Update: A new sheet has been added, CompareRef, that shows main stats on all pages with the option to switch between SI and Binary (Gigibytes/Mebibytes and Gigabytes/Megabytes) so you can get a full comparison view of progress. I just finished the functions, so tell me if anything goes terribly wrong.

Now, results!

This is the third in the Handbrake and the Video Encoding Project.

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

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
