Could you please share your settings for Handbrake? I’ve tried converting 4k to 720p/1080p for some time and I get worse results despite trying nvenc/qsv (faster but bigger file and lower quality). Also tried all kinds of RF values for regular encoding according to handbrake documentation but I either get garbage at low sizes or comparable quality as you at much higher sizes. Can’t figure out what I’m missing :/
Thanks! I’ve never tweaked the audio settings so I’ll give that a try. Do you use -q 23.0 regardless of source and output quality? Or would you change that if I was doing 4k to 1080p or 1080p to 720p?

Good news. Coming soon.
🙏🙏🙏 thank u

If audio bitrate is higher than 128 kbps then I lower it:
HandBrakeCLI -i INPUT.mp4 -o OUTPUT.mp4 -v -e x265 -q 23.0 –width 1280 –height 720 -E ca_aac -B 128 -O –no-markers –subtitle none
If it’s 128 kbps or less then I just copy audio:
HandBrakeCLI -i INPUT.mp4 -o OUTPUT.mp4 -v -e x265 -q 23.0 –width 1280 –height 720 -E copy -O –no-markers –subtitle none
I’m using CLI version of HandBrake, not GUI.
