If youre uploading to the internet I's suggest you select "2 pass encoding" and set the bit-rate to arround 1MB. Its a tough decision, and depends greatly on your source video. So basically you can select a target size, and your video will be squeezed to that, at the expense of quality, you can choose an average bit rate, and all your video will be set those many kilobytes per second, or you can select a Constant Quality and handbreak will make sure your video looks as you want it, regardless of size. Of the output file but give up control over the video's quality.Ĭonstant quality mode does the opposite you specify a quality levelĪnd HandBrake adjusts the bitrate (that is, the size) to meet it. With the average bitrate or target size methods, you control the size Here is where the quality/size question arises. Handbreak is a pretty straight-forward applicaiton in terms of video conversion in the video tab you can see the input and output size in pixels (so your video getting reduced in size should be avoided in a single glance), the framerate, which is best to keep on "same as source" and your target quality. I would suggest you convert it to MP4 with the H.264 Codec.
