![]() I'd say toss the MKV into HandBrake, adjust the resolution up or down as required to get the 1024 pixel wide (or less, which will scale up a bit just fine), leave the setting for video encoding with x264 and the Constant Quality factor at 20 for a test encode (a single chapter from a DVD, a small video file, or even a chunk of a video clip based on the seconds, like an A-B section), the default AAC audio is 160 Kbps, and then see how that looks. No offense, but that imTOO encoder (and pretty much every single product that company spews out) is a piece of shit, in almost all respects. Put your computer to work overnight and while you're away.1500 Kbps for a transcoded MKV (assuming it's h.264 format video and AAC audio at about 128-192 Kbps) is typical for such results.Īnd obviously, HandBrake is the tool to use, there's nothing else out that can really touch it for quality and usefulness (unless you're a command line wizard and can do all that stuff with the x264 CLI itself). PS- be patient- transcoding can take time. Your usage isn't exactly what it was designed to do, but it appears capable of doing what you need in a single pass. ![]() But fortunately, mp4 and Sony Bravia are both cool with H.264, so you don't need to introduce a new video codec.Īlso, I think you'll want to do both steps at once if possible making two transcodes (first to shrink, second to hardcode subs) will reduce quality compared to a single pass. Both sites are friendly to the subtitle-using community, and both sites are loaded with guides of all kinds.īoth mp4 and mkv filestypes are just containers for video and audio streams most like the mkv has H.264 video and AAC audio if you want shrink it, you'll have to cut the bitrate in proportion to the filesize change- sounds like about 45-50% is what you're talking. and are the definitive sites learning file-conversion Doom9 is more about DVD Backup (ahem) and both sites learn towards Windows platform as there is the greatest variety of free tools. ![]() You might try Freemake Video Converter (Windows). posted by 254blocks to Media & Arts (8 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favorite I just don't want to sacrifice video quality or substantially increase the file size when doing this. So hard coding the video files with the subtitles seems to be my only option. The TV will only play MP4 files, and won't load external SRT files to be played along with the video files. What suggestions do you guys have to accomplish this task? The more detailed instructions that you can provide me with (i.e., what settings I have to choose in whatever program I use to do this), the better.Ģ) What's the best way to hard code SRT files into MP4 files, without sacrificing video quality? Again, I feel like Handbrake should be able to do this, if I knew what settings to choose. ![]() Plus, I don't know if that is the best program to accomplish this anyway, and even if it is, I don't know what settings to use for it. I would normally use Handbrake for this, but that program seems to have gotten rid of the ability to choose your file size. I'd like to make MP4 files out of the MKV files, which preserve the quality of the MKV files as much as possible, but are only about 2.5 to 3 GB in file size. The MKV files won't play on the TV, and are really large files anyway – like, file sizes of 4 to 6 GB. I'm sure some of you know how to do these things better than I do, or at least in the "best way" that there is to do them, so I'd like to query you all on how to accomplish these tasks.ġ) What's the best way to convert MKV files to MP4 to play on my Sony Bravia TV? I've got a bunch of MKV files that I'd like to convert to MP4 files to be able to play on my Sony Bravia TV. Ok, Hivemind, I've got some pretty basic video editing "stuff" that I'd like some help with.
