![]() Or maybe by answering the question I asked earlier. DVD video is limited range and should be encoded that way.Ī place to start might be to upload a small sample of the source video along with the encoded version so others can see if they display the same way. If it's DVDs you're converting with Handbrake, then there's either something seriously wrong with your version of Handbrake (which I doubt) or it's a playback issue. ![]() (And if I need to encode subtitles in the video, for example in anime videos, I convert them to ASS format before I encode the video, so the subtitles actually end up looking better than they did on the DVD.) I'm not quite following you, you want to be able to watch your entire "video collection on tv without constantly changing discs all the time", that's what you just said right? Which tells me that you first must rip your entire collection to your hard drive in order to re-encode, correct? Which means that the re-encoding step is unnecessary because your already have them on your computer (which I'm assuming you're hooking up to your tv).Īs I said, nothing better to do, one isn't "constantly changing discs all the time", you put a disc into a dvd player, watch the movie, 1.5-2 hours later you're done, even if you were to watch a second movie that's still only 1 disc change in a 3-4 hour period and then you're done. The overall quality actually looks pretty close to the original DVD, even on my 47 inch television, and at a fraction of the file size. It works just fine for that, and doesn't end up looking "quick and dirty". Personally, I don't encode my DVDs because I "have nothing better to do." I do it so I can watch my entire video collection without needing to constantly get up and change discs all the time. I've never actually used that setting, since it's really of no use to me. I suspect the option to produce a higher bit output, like HEVC, is there just for some compatibility thing. (And if I need to encode subtitles in the video, for example in anime videos, I convert them to ASS format before I encode the video, so the subtitles actually end up looking better than they did on the DVD.) If you have an 8-bit 4:2:0 source, like a dvd and just want to transcode it because, I don't know, you have nothing better to do, then go ahead and use Handbrake BUT if you have a 10/12/16 bit 4:2:2/4:4:4 source and feed it into Handbrake and choose a high bit depth target, like Intra-12 hevc, it will still step it down to 8 bit 4:2:0 for processing and then the encoder will output a high bit depth encode but since it's already been crapped on what's the point of having the option to encode 10/12 bit Intra only? Personally, I don't encode my DVDs because I "have nothing better to do." I do it so I can watch my entire video collection without needing to constantly get up and change discs all the time. When you play the encoded video with something that's not a PC such as a Bluray player or USB media player and view it on your TV, does it still look washed out?Īll video card configurations should have an option similar to this: I prefer to ask the video card to expand the levels as then it doesn't matter too much what the player does (they shouldn't be expanded twice). I suspect you need to have a chat with your Windows players, or maybe your video card drivers. If your source is full range there's no expansion required. If it's not expanded on playback, 16 which is black in the encoded version, becomes grey and you have that washed out look. On the other hand if Handbrake is converting to limited levels as it should, the limited level video needs to be expanded back to full range for playback on a PC as PC monitors are full range. For the encoded version when converted to limited range 16 is black and 32(ish) is grey., so if full range is encoded without converting the levels, everything from grey down becomes black and the encoded video looks too dark. For the source 0 would be black and 16 would be grey. If your source is full range and Handbrake is encoding it "as is" under the assumption it's limited range, it should end up looking too dark when played back correctly. Are you certain it's an encoding issue and not a decoding one? The only thing that works for me is FFmpeg with -pix_fmt yuv j420p. Handbrake/VidCoder always create studio range SD files that look washed out in my Windows players. ![]() I've tried all the x264 options and nothing works.
