This might not be the best place for this question but I honestly can’t think of another place, but if you know of one please let me know. But I figured someone here might have the experience I’m looking for.
I own the discs for various Star Trek series and everything Stargate. What I’m trying to do is use handbrake to encode them to put them on Plex. But everything I try, it just looks worse. Is there a repository of like recommended settings for various media?
What bitrate are you using? x265 is the best encoder at the moment for file size efficiency, and it supports HDR, but if your bitrate is in the basement, it won’t matter what encoder/wrapper you use. When h264 was the standard, I wouldn’t go lower than 8000kbps for HD video.
