Constant quality is a faster encoding method than the traditional 2-pass option and tries to keep a constant quality on all your files, regardless of the movie lenght or content. In this example I will use constant quality (1) with a 20 value. The codec we will use is of course H.264. Open the Video (4) tab and move to the next step. Do not worry about the 1920x798 resolution in this example, the movie is 1080p quality-wise, we just got rid of the black bars by cropping them. Cropping should be set to Automatic (3) in order to remove the black bars from the movie. If you want to downscale to 720p select Loose in the anamorphic setting, set the Modulus to 2 and manually set the width to 1280.

In this example we are keeping the full resolution so we selected Strict anamorphic. Now in the picture tab (2) you can set the output size. The MP4 container should be already selected. With the movie loaded it is time to set the output file by clicking Browse (1). Then import the mkv file and follow the rest of this guide. Unfortunately Handbrake does not support seamless branching Blu-rays yet so if you don't have just one big m2ts file follow this guide to demux your Blu-ray disc manually and remux it in an mkv file. Step 3īrowse to the BDMV folder of your Blu-ray disc and inside the STREAM folder select the biggest m2ts file and click Open. Make sure the High Profile (1) is selected and then select Source -> Video File (2). Read this guide to find out how you can do that. Besides just running AnyDVD HD in the background, a good idea would be to rip the whole disc to the hard drive first. I really suggest you let AnyDVD HD do that job. Before starting the encoding process with Handbrake you need to use an unlocking software to circumvent the Blu-ray's protection.

Handbrake save as mp4
