MOV to MKV

[kiki_vg]

I have MOV video (FULL HD) recorder with Canon, and I want covert that video in MKV to have smaller video file but in good quality. I try convert that video with Handbrake, but I always get same video quality. I try with 5000 Avg Bitrate, and 20000 Avg but still same video quality. Where is the problem? Or you can suggest me some other converters.


Thanks!

Try the constant quality encoding instead of a fixed bitrate in handbrake. Set it to around 20.

Check so you aren't resizing the video also.


And post the details from your mov file if you want more detailed help. Use for example mediainfo, open file, view-> text.

I try convert with MeGUI, and I get very good result, and I set up just 5000 bitrate.

Original video image:


Converted video with MeGUI (5000 bitrate)


Converted video with Handbrake (always same video quality, with 5000, 10000 or 20000 AVG Bitrate)




I'm new with MegUI, I have not yet mastered it, so I would like to know where is problem with Handbrake because it very easy to use.
