Handbrake users -- best settings to convert H264 to H265
Hi there
Converting 1080p MKV files encoded in H264 to H265
What's the best setting to use keeping original quality as much as possible -- a 2hr film currently with my H264 encode is around 4GB for MKV file.
The source is full HD 1080p captured from SKY Q minibox. Quality on playback is excellent but I want to store a lot of these on an external HDD so want to compress the size down a bit.
(note you need to use an HDMI splitter to get stuff off the SKY Q minibox otherwise the capture device won't see anything (DRM).
The capture device doesn't unfortunately capture in H265 which is why I need the conversion step.
I would like to get about 50% of that size with H265 - but not sure of the settings in Handbrake I should use.
Any video editors here --help please !!!!!
I'm not bothered if the final container is MKV or MP4 so long as it's encoded H265 and quality is very similar (preferably identical) to original file.
Cheers
