So I encode a mkv file. The movie's name is 300 at 1080P size 8.9GB. I am trying toi resize it to 8.5GB to fit into a DL dvd.
I am told handbrake is the tool to use for this. It seems that it has 2 steps to encode. 1st one takes 1 and a half hrs to complete then there's step 2 and it take like 9 hrs to encode.
Did i do something wrong?
I followed the instructions on handbrake written here.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

You haven't mentioned the specs of the computer you are using for the conversion.

wouldn't it be easier and faster to go buy a copy?
you don't seem to care you're openly asking for help about a pirated copy.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions. Yes i'll probably try the other encoder linked here and yes splitting it in half makes way more sense. Then again wouldn't i need to re encode it into 2 seperate halves? Taking up more time again?

You only need to re-encode the file if its going to be authored as blu-ray and if the video isnt 1920x1080 as i mentioned in your other thread.
I think,therefore i am a hamster.
