I always meant to install a sound bar but never got around to it. On to audio settings - we use the in-TV stereo speakers, which are generally okay. Does it matter if the output file is mkv or mp4?

#Bluray handbrake settings 1080p#
Is there something else happening in my DVD player that makes them look better on a 1080p output (upconverting)? I know the DVD player is capable of 1080p.
#Bluray handbrake settings full#
I also have some blu-ray DVDs to rip and I would like them to be a little better than the DVDs, but I don't need full 4K out of them either, 1080p would be good enough for us (it's only a 55" screen).Īre there built-in handbrake settings people use that work? I've read about and tried some heavily customized settings but to me they still don't reach DVD quality (should be 720p?). I haven't quite figured out rip settings that look as good as using the DVD player. My plex server is on a Mac Mini (wired ethernet) and I have a decent amount of fast external storage (several TB). I use Handbrake but have never been super happy with any of the settings. I'm curious what people are using for ripping DVDs. Tl dr please help me find good handbrake settings for plex client on a 55" 4K TV

MKV is much easier thanks to MKVMergeGUI and it's widely supported. For media players which are DivX HD certified, DTS is optional (unless they're a Bluray player). Bluray players will, but media players in TVs etc mightn't. Swap the newly encoded audio for the old and create a new output file (copying the video) and you'll have a one containing audio the device can play.ĭTS requires a licence so not all devices support it.

if it's for a portable device etc you can easily use the audio stream in Handbrake's output file and re-encode it later on if need be. I don't see the point in wasting space with two unless you know for sure you'll be playing the encode on a device with limited audio support. I usually keep existing AC3 or re-encode DTS as multi-channel AAC. My second question is what is the best combination of audio output codecs so that the surround sound is preserved while also having general compatibility. Note: I'm converting using the "av_mp4" container that's appeared in the recent nightlies, but from what I understand this is just a better version of the normal "Mp4" one.
#Bluray handbrake settings mp4#
sony blu-ray player playing MP4 off USB stick) choose the better audio track? I've never seen an option to choose.Īnd for the second suggestion, can DTS-HD just be passed-through to an MP4? Is there anything the second track wouldn't play on?Īlso for the first suggestion, how would the media player (e.g. If I take the first suggestion - is this a waste/pointless.

I'm not too worried about passthrough or anything lossless, so would there be anything wrong or stupid with the following:ġ) DTS-HD -> AAC (avcodec), Dolby Pro Logic II, 160bitrate, Auto SamplerateĢ) DTS-HD -> AAC (avcodec), 5.1 Channels, 320bitrate, Auto Samplerate How does this work - I swear it can't passthrough one from one codec to another? The second is always "AC3 Passthru", even though the source is usually "DTS 5.1" or "DTS-HD MA 5.1". I also understand that this one is included for compatibility with iPhones and the like. The first is "AAC (avcodec)" with "Dolby Pro Logic II" - From what I understand this a stereo stream, yet is an "intelligent" one, and some playback devices can kind of transform it into some form of half-decent surround sound. When I load a blu-ray in handbrake, and select "High Profile", it gives me two audio tracks.
