I have come to REALLY enjoy the high quality Blu Ray rips. I was running out of video storage and took a few passes with hand break to try and make reasonable size copies of a couple large re-encodes.
It took a while to test hand break and (FOREVER to encode) now Looking over those rips i think they are crap and I'm re-downloading the full 9 gig or whatever re-encodes. They aren't horrid but they are noticeably -NOT 4k quality.
I'm at the point where I want the Clash of the Titans, Harry Potter, Twilight and the other high quality movies re-encoded from a 4 k source bad enough to pay for them. looking at Harry Potter 01....
Its about 5 GB, large for an average rifftarx release and it looks pretty shitty. it looks like SD not HD. This looks like it would need to be 15 GB minimum to look "right"
I would love it if someone would make good re-encodes for everything that has an HD Source available.
I'm about to get a new computer or two in a month or so. if i can get some info on exactly what software is being used to accomplish this, I might try a pass a it myself.
I'm most unsure about the encoding settings. From what i have seen, People have compared hand break to adobe media encoder and (same as my tests) media encoder consistently produced crappy
encodes vs. hand break. The general advice is use premiere to edit, output lossless AVI and use hand break for the actual encode/squish.
I would prefer to trans code existing movie rips but i dont think a program such as premiere will actually transcode instead of re encoding the already encoded film.
Any help appreciated and THANK YOU whoever you are who has taken the time to upgrade these riffs!!
