very informative and thorough! Thanks!

With a quick experiment I tried with a 14.1 MB file Iphone recorded video. h265 CPU 30RF FAST result: 16 seconds 3 MB (encoding time and output size) h265 GPU 40CQ SLOWEST result: 6 seconds 2.965MB (encoding time and output size) almost the same file size but almost the same quality. Can't be notice when playing the video. BUT FASTER ENCODING. Even pausing it is almost unnoticeable unless you zoom in. this is for people who keep saying the Size is smaller for using CPU. Almost the same. but pausing will make some details noticeable.

So helpful! Thanks

You really did this? this is high quality analysis video for a 7K sub. keep up the good work!

1:04 i think its worth mentioning that older generations support hardware decode, but not encode

How to compress .mp4 to small size without loosing quality?

INCREDIBLE video my friend you literally showed what each of them do and also showing comparisons and graphs of how much difference they make unlike others who just say put it to 23 quality and let her rip😆🤣

incredible info

Very nice dude =). I use handbreake a long time... this is star info.

Very helpful, thank you

More than excelent perfect

Amazing video, but could you make one for av1?

This is the best video explain on youtube thanks man.

Still waiting for an update 🥴

4:55 Am I misunderstanding the video? How come it looks lower quality at ultra fast but the recommendation is to use ultra fast?

Thank man! What a exceptional video! 👏👏👏 Really thank you for that ❤

Great video, thank you!

if anyone in the future watches this AV1 will allow you to drop to 36 from 30 with darn near lossless footage - i had a 15.5GB file in h.265 compressed with AV1 3.36GB couldn't tell the difference with quailty AV1 is 1000times better than h265

The video was absolutely breathtaking! The information is very useful, and your time & effort is greatly appreciated! I'm going to leave a link in my blu-ray video to this video for compression advice!

Thani you so much. Now thar my RTX 4080 is doing it, its taking 1 hour instead of 6. Crazy! thank you so much!

This was surprisingly thorough. Well done

Fantastic - Informed - No BS

Great video! Clearly explained! This must have taken a lot of research and trail&error.

Exactly to the point. Clear and easy, thank you!

This video is pure gold. Thank you very much!!!

"Set audio coding to MP3" I heard enough... <facepalm>

So I did it with the method you show us but from 61 mb short move file it became 87mb

thx for this in depth vid. have a good day.

Well I probably won't re-encode my entire library with h265 understanding that moving forward will make a huge difference in what I choose to use. Thanks for the great information!

could you make a tutorial on how to use vmaf?

This video is extremely helpful! Thank you so much! Question: If Using Ultra Fast speed gives the worst quality why are you saying that we should use it?

dip it in, and get it out, and then u get all the high speed compression gremlins.

What also can be interesting for people trying to save the clips in as good of a quality as possible, without using up your Disk space is this: I'd like to my videos upscale to 8k (nearest neighbor) using ffmpeg and then upload it to youtube. Why 8k? Because it allows youtube to retain more quality because of the bitrate, and it also enforces youtube to use the AV1-Codec, which means more quality for the same bitrate or same quality with less bitrate. It works well with rec709 stuff, but It doesn't work on Videos with Log-Profiles. You'd have to colour grade your footage to make it work. I also use my Laptop GPU (RTX 4070 Mobile) to encode it directly to NVENC_AV1 (still at around 200mbit bitrate though), in order to get very good quality, smaller filesizes than with other codecs to reduce upload time. I also use a custom script to iterate through an entire folder including subfolders to re-encode videos. Now i just have to figure out how to upload them without actually being at my computer:

Great. What's the best setting for AV1 code.?

this is the most informative video i have ever seen on video compression, amazing work, love it.

i've got a probl the n vidia encode never exist on my handbrake

Just wanted to say thanks -- I've been using Handbrake for over a decade, but defaults and the occasional experimentation was fine. Was unaware of hardware encoding. And was getting really fed up with all the youtube videos that only make big Handbrake claims, but basically just show you how to download it, pick a preset, and hit go. Your video is very in-depth, insightful, and useful.

Never ever use MP3 for anything. It's been outdated since the late 90s. AAC has the same compatibility and much higher quality. For extreme size savings OPUS is a great choice too

My goodness... Thank you for this gem. Commenting to help the RUclips algorithm recommend this fantastic tutorial!

CPU still give much smaller size and better quality

questions. I'm trying the h265 nvenc with handbrake, using same settings and same videos(tested with multiple videos). the only difference is the resolution. if i set the output 1080, it will utilize my gpu as per intended with nvenc. but if i set the output to 480p it will goes back to cpu encoding. any idea why and how do i get 480p to use my gpu?

I would love for you to test using Xmedia Recode and Two-Pass VBR encoding both CPU and GPU. Xmedia Recode is the only freeware I know of that lets you do Two-Pass NVENC VBR encoding.

Have you heard of "Xmedia Recode"? It can do NVENC two-pass VBR encoding with both 264 and 266 settings. I have the RTX 2080 Ti so I cannot test AV1. I have been using "NVENC two-pass VBR encoding for a long time, ever since the GTX 1060 came out. I don't know why Handbrake does not use NVENC two-pass VBR encoding. I would love for you to test NVENC two-pass VBR encoding.

You divide by 1024 not 1000 since you are in binary: 2^10=1024 So its closer to 0.73 GBytes for a minute.

this video has a lot of useful information, thanks for making it

I dint understand the end? why do you buy NVIDIA GPU over AMD?

To the point and very concise. Thank you! Love this video

Amazing video, you clearly understand the topic and are not just throwing information you don’t know about like 90% of the RUclipsrs that covered this matter.
