Tell the highest bit rate image

[Cromulent]

Okay which of the two attached files is from the highest bit rate file. I'm trying to see if I have made the best choice with my Handbrake settings 🙂.

If most of you get it wrong I know I've got good settings.

might want to set up a poll, but i'd go with the first one i think.

I have no idea how to do that now I have posted.

I say #2 based on file size and dimensions ...

edit your post and then go advanced and there should be an option for it.

Ah thanks 🙂. I'll tell the answer tomorrow at some point.

Edit : Hmm doesn't seem to want to work 🙁.

It's difficult to tell on such a small resolution.

Click the image and it will show it in full resolution.

how exciting! i love blind taste tests!

i'm gonna say frodo.

however they both look great, no artifacts in either. its sort of hard to compare two totally different scenes, but the frodo looks THAT much better.

...i think....

Frodo.

How did you make the screen snaps?

 

[maestrokev]

I'm guessing the one on the right.

 

[MacDonaldsd]

Left looks better to me

 

[Cromulent]

Frodo.

I used Grab which is found in /Applications/Utilities (at least in Tiger).

The answer is Frodo is the best.

The video settings were :

Frodo

2500 kbps
H.264
Two pass encoding
Anamorphic

(the AppleTV preset in Handbrake)

Pippin (I think 🙂)

1800 kbps
MPEG-4
Two pass encoding
Anamorphic

(modified Bedlam preset in Handbrake)

 

[edesignuk]

So at the 2500kbps/H.264 rate, how big were the files in the end?

About 2GB per disk if I remember correctly.

Edit : I might try the lower bit rate version using H.264 and compare those two. Although I was trying to cut down encoding time by using MPEG-4.
