  1. I am beginning the process of getting my DVD and BD disks onto my Plex server. I am limited on total disk space and as such I am attempting re-encode all of my media files from the MakeMKV generated .mkv file to a smaller .mkv file using Handbrake. FYI, I can't use x265 as Plex won't DirectPlay x265 content to my TV/devices and transcoding on the fly eats up all of the CPU and it can't keep up.

    My hope is that someone out there can help me in giving some pointers in how fix whatever I'm doing wrong. It's been a long time since I've done any video encoding (circa 2008ish...) and a lot has changed. I remember having to run the video encoding in a cmd window, I'd have to encode the audio separately using some CLI program that started with "ea", and then re-time the subtitles manually and then use something that would merge everything into a mkv file. It's been so long I don't remember in the slightest how I once did all of that. I choose to use Handbrake because it seemed like the easiest option with a GUI. All I remember from way back when is that there was a huge learning curve to encoding video to mkv with all the different tools and frankly, I'm too damn old for that shit again. Unless I have to re-learn it because that's the only way to do it without taking a massive quality hit.

    No matter which file I choose for encoding I am having quality issues with blocking/pixelation on every encode. I have spent the last week encoding short 60 second clips for testing with just about every combination of filter/video setting available. I read about MediaInfo and installed it to view the bitrate and other video stream data of the original file that MakeMKV generated from the physical disk. I have set Handbrake to encode at the Avg Bitrate setting as the original file, same framerate, same resolution, with all filters and tunes turned off, and at the "VerySlow" preset. I then pulled up the exact same frame in the original source and the encode in VLC and used the Take Snapshot option under the Video menu.

    The difference isn't much in the samples below, but when I start lowering the Avg Bitrate or Constant Quality or turning on any filter/tune, the difference becomes abhorrently worse.

    Some info on the machine running the encoding:
    Dell R710, Intel Xeon X5670 x2, 24GB RAM, 143GB 10K x8 RAID10.

  2. Any chance VLC is messing up making the screenshots? Try a "second opinion" (e.g. MPC-HC+madvr) for the screenshots. Or cut an identical scene from both using mkvmerge and upload here for us to reproduce. Show HandBrake activity log.

  3. What's the frame size of the h.264 videos? Use MediaInfo in text mode to get full stats.

  4. I've extracted screenshots from MPC-HC. The issue is not as pronounced in MPC-HC as it is in VLC, however it is still there. As I said in the original post, once I start moving down the bitrate / quality settings, the blocky or pixelated grouping is far more pronounced. I also have posted below the full Handbrake activity log from both encodes as well as the MediaInfo output of the x264 encoded files. I am unsure of what you mean and how to
    cut an identical scene from both using mkvmerge

  6. I don't think the problem is with your encoding but rather with your graphics card's upscaling. In VLC, try switching Video -> Output to Windows GDI Video Output, and disable hardware decoding (Input/Codecs -> Hardware-accelrated Decoding -> Disable). Does that look better?
