    This is terrific It reduces the file size a minimum of sixty six percent !
    I proved it by doing a 1 giga bit file and it reduced to 300 mega bits. And no noticeable quality loss to the eye ! Thanks Krystalize !

    If I am not mistaking, this only reduces the bitrate of the video, which you can also do when you edit the video.

    This didn't work for me. I was trying to reduce a 5G file down to 1G and after following the steps you mentioned, it actually increased the file size to 6G. I'm trying it again. I also noticed that in The "Avg Bitrate" section of the Video tab, you forgot to mention that you didn't have "2-Pass Encoding" and "Turbo first pass" selected.

    • @galaxytraveler5779
      @galaxytraveler5779 2 года назад

      Those don't matter unless you have "Avg Bitrate" selected. If you have selected "Constant Quality", than those things mean nothing. (at least to my knowledge!)

    • @thedeafgamer
      @thedeafgamer Год назад

      old news, but i want to inform anyway. by lowering the RF value down then you increase the video file while getting more quality looks. if you increase the RF value up then you decrease the video file while the quality still get affected, but not too much and still looks nice to the eye if one doesn't investigate every frame and so on too much. While increasing the video file with RF value up too much, you get extremely low video file result, but what's gonna happen is that the video will get blurry, choppy and so on. Hope i was more clear.

    I tend to use the MP4 setting in the Video Codec tab rather than H.264 as H.264 produces an M4v file which programmes like Nero, if you want to convert and encode to a DVD doesn't seem to be able to import that file format, no idea why.

    Why is it that a 560Mb file is 500Mb after encode with quality at 23? Do you only benefit when using much larger files? It took a one minute clip 4 minutes to encode, so that would take my full 2 hour video 8 hours.. i don't want to find out the long way. Lol

      @@krystalize It's 4K content as well, perhaps that has something to do with it.
      Something i found interesting is that the 2 hour render came out at 46,000kbps , while a smaller clip of the same source material would come out at 78,000kbps using the exact same rendering settings.
