Handbrake Question

[darbsrewop]

If I want to rip DVD's and view them on my computer, what is the best setting to use on Handbreak. Is it h.264?

Generally H.264 with 2 pass encoding provides great quality video 🙂

also 1500 average fps is acceptable for make a compact good looking vid, however 3500 is best, but of course much larger in size

h.264 encoding is very slow, let alone 2 pass. MPEG4 encoding is much faster (comparatively). Given a high enough bitrate, I doubt you'll notice a difference between h.264 and MPEG4.

I would also go for h.264, its a beast and takes forever to encode, but its the best for onscreen viewing and will be definately be the best for large media centres... trust me!😉

i'd skip 2-pass and stick with one. 1500kbps...and that's h.264. looks pretty good on a 20" widescreen monitor at fullscreen.

Anyone have a idea if 2pass and lower bitrate is really better than single pass higher bitrate? How will it influence size and quality?
