How to Use Handbrake to Compress Video - Tutorial

Amazing

Good tutorial! This guy is mellow af.

How 2 use handbrake & you speak about media encoder!🙄

thanks!

i compressed the file and it actually got bigger please explain

Great job. Thanks

Cheers! Thanks for your help.

excellent thanks for posting.

followed this and ended up with an expored video file that was 2x as big. i went from 500 gig video to over a gig. wtf. and the video prerview is terribal too. even at all the normal settings of the video i am getting a terribal preview. i just want easy compression to upload vidoes over 5 mins

Great video! Thank you! I have however in my videos encountered a real loss in image quality after using handbrake. Every few seconds, the image degrades considerable then continues. Any thoughts on this? Les

Question: Should I use Handbrake on video clips before adding to my iMovie project or after exporting iMovie file?

powerful work

Why is it when I do this, the file is actually bigger than the original. I'm following the instructions. In reality, Handbrake is worthless other than converting to a different format.

Does anyone know the best settings for smoother slow motion footage, my source is 1080i50

handbrake is the best thing possible (from what ive seen anyway) for ripping dvds for use with something like plex, though personally i use makemkv to rip the dvds first, then transcode after

This was great. Love when people get right to the point and never get off topic. Thank you

nice quick tutorial, one question, when selecting the audio, what should i use to prevent any audio quality loss? example, how do i keep the same DTS-HD MA instead of having it compressed into a stereo mix?

I changed the file extension from .m4v to .mp4 before starting the encoding, but when I try to upload the video as an Instagram reel, half of the video turns into a black screen. Suggestions?

how can i merge two different audio file into one video file in handbreak is that possible?

I've downloaded the software but it wont let me use it until I downloaded NetRuntime (?)

I tried it but it still wont let me use it.

How do I do it with transparent videos?

Can I suggest inserting close ups of tab activity? I really struggled to actually see what you were doing. X

The .m4v extension was actually causing me issues in uploading the Instagram reels. Thanks to you, I just renamed it to mp4 and it works now

What is the significance of changing the audio bitrate? does the audio sound more "raspy" ?

Please do we have a version for Android phone

Very informative, thanks for sharing it with us...dl

Cool and informative video but you're not really compressing a video if you're making the file size larger

Handbrake is trash. Takes forever and it gives a larger file size most the time.

You are a lifesaver!!! Excellent tutorial, thank you. Done and done.

Thank you, this video was very helpful!

Thank you for this great content

Great tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you for making it easy.

Great tutorial, thank you! I would note that on a Mac, Handbrake requires you to rename the file because it will not overwrite the source file. It also saves the file as an .MP4, so no need to change the filename extension.
Using your recommended settings, Handbrake compressed a 612MB video down to 101MB. I'm saving a lot of tutorial videos to my iPad, so this will be extremely helpful.

Good presentation. The only problem I had(watching it on iPad) was reading and following diagrams on screen, everything seemed tiny. I found pausing video helped.

Can we change the settings while the videos are being compressed? Mine is showing the time remaining as "eternity"! 😨

Can you make a ISO from 5,8 gb smaller to put it on DVD with handbrake?

Install missing framework for .Net, even after installing nothing happens same error pops again somebody help please

thank yo so much! very helpful :)

Handbrake for Mac has always encoded videos into saved format mp4. The latest version as of this date is Version 1.5.1 and it gives you the option to save in mp4 or mvk

I have been using Handbrake for almost a year plus now. You failed to have explained all the tabs as seen but rather you skipped one of the tabs that I use to edit. Please confirm if that is fine for me.I am referring to the Filters tab. I am to turn all the settings off or just one?

yoooo the man right here!! tryna show my friends turning red but its 1.8gb so i gotta compress it. and damn, its only taking like under 20 mins so thats cool

Thanks very much for your tutorial Charles, very useful. Cool accent too!

useless, lost my time trying to shrink mp4s

Great pro video tutorial

First off, thanks for going over the basics. Much Appreciated. Do you happen to know if there is anyway to see the size of the File Output before you export it?

I have very slow internet speed and usually watch videos at 360p but I can play this video at 720p without lag
