7 years ago @2devnull The output format depends on your output device or player. If it's an Apple TV or iTunes then I would recommend using the --mp4 option. Otherwise, I would use the default setting which produces MKV format.
Any other questions?

7 years ago I'll keep the MKV then. I am testing it out now. Running my CPU high. Anyway to get it to use the GPU if I install one?

7 years ago BTW - here is my test run. Brought down the 1.4 GB MPEG-2 file to 449 MB:

Well, I just read this which is disheartening.
HEVC encoding is CPU-taking. If your computer is a high-end one and has GPU-enabled NVIDIA product, you can use the GPU for really fast transcoding. But, ffmpeg has supported GPU acceleration，including nvenc(Nvidia) and QSV(Intel ), but the current version of HandBrake doesn’t support NVENC, and it can’t support QSV very well. That is because Handbrake doesn’t use ffmpeg but libav and NVENC hasn’t release of libav yet. Handbrake team said they didn’t have the plan to add NVENC.

7 years ago @2devnull Yes, but your log shows you're not using transcoding to HEVC anyway. You're transcoding to H.264, which is the default behavior.
And, sadly, H.264 transcoding doesn't leverage the GPU either, except optionally for scaling. And, trust me, you don't want to use that feature because the scaling algorithm is not good quality.
BTW, where did you get that quote?
wicadmin
commented
7 years ago Yes, I know..I'm looking for a way to get there. I just need another way to do this processing so other things aren't affected due to the high system load. I once try to do it on another server via NFS but the NFS process itself created the same load and I rather not move these large files to another server to process them. Perhaps there is a way to use the "nice" feature on Linux.
I'll send you that link on another reply.

7 years ago @2devnull Thanks for the link. OK, is there anything else you need to know? Otherwise I will close this issue.

7 years ago No. You can close. I'm looking into developing a processing pipeline on a server I can wake up via WOL. Will be using your tools to do the actual transcoding. Thanks.
I am trying to run this in batch off hours to trans-code my MythTV recordings which are in mpeg format to get the same quality (perceivable) but smaller file size. If this can work on mpeg, what would the recommended format to trans-code to? The viewing will be done on 720p displays.
