I dont want the file to be bigger than 4gb, as the computer I am giving him is a Dell Optiplex 380 (old) that I dont know will be able to handle higher bitrates. So as it stands, Handbrake is telling me, it will take 25 hours to encode a 2hours and 20 minutes Blu ray movie.Īre there any other recommended settings? Video: H.265(x265), Constant Quality=20 RF Preset: very slow (did this because somewhere i read it makes it a very small file.Īudio: English DTS AC3 Passthru. Picture: 1280x720 (downgrading from 1920x1080) because that seems to affect the speed a lot. Processor: AMD (FX) 4130 Quad Core Processor 3.80 ghz Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P34 FX (with latest drivers/flash) Video Card: Nvidia (EVGA GeForce GTX 960 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 128 Bit Graphic Card (04G-P4-3962-KR) with latest drivers My uncle has like over 100 dvd's and about 40-50 Blu-rays!įirst I will give you the transcoding computer specs: After talking he asked me if I could transcode his library also to a HTPC kind of setting which I am happy to do however, I hit a wall when I started to transcode Blu-Rays. However, once in Hawaii, my uncle happens to have a somewhat large collection of BLU-Ray/DVD's.

I moved to Hawaii and I used to have a very large collection of DVD's which the wife said no, to shipping from the mainland to Hawaii, so 3 years ago, I discovered and used Handbrake to rip all my moves to my hard drive and get rid of the DVD's.

Why does handbrake take so long
