M4 Mac Mini nearly 30% slower at hardware encoding than 2020 Intel i5 . . . Got my base M4 Mini a few days ago and I'm slightly disappointed with its hardware encoding performance using handbrake Testing with a 4K DCI input and same preset across both machines, I get only 50-55fps max on my M4 Mini The 2020 Intel iMac with a basic i5 10500 Radeon Pro 5300 encodes
Mac Mini M1 H. 265 encoding? - MacRumors Forums I tested GPU-accelerated video encoding on M1 Mac Mini (H 264 VideoToolBox) in Handbrake Beta and constant quality mode (new feature for M1 Macs, it works like -crf in libx264)
M1 handbrake performance very disappointing. . . - MacRumors Forums The M1 HW encoding using Handbrake is very fast, but the file size is way too big for my needs It is hard to get an objective apples to apples comparison when it comes to quality of Handbrake's SW and HW encoding settings, but when I tried to get a similar quality encode Handbrake SW and HW encoding, the file size of the HW encode was a lot
Best app (or Handbrake settings) to rip copy DVDs? I'm working on building my digital collection of movies and want to digitize a bunch of old DVDs I have I have a DVD USB player and an M1 Pro MBP I used Handbrake back in the day on my old Intel Mac to do this, but I haven't used Handbrake in probably a decade now Is that still the best app
Does 2-Pass Encoding Really Make a Difference (HandBrake) 2-Pass encoding really takes up so much more time in converting in HandBrake It takes so much time - so I wanted to know; does 2-pass encoding really make much of a difference in the quality of the movie? Thanks
Handbrake Comparison - Alder Lake i5 vs M2 Pro - MacRumors Forums Figured I would post these results, as some folks are looking for some "real world" intel vs apple silicon results Encoding an MKV file using Handbrake, Super HQ 2160 4K HEVC Surround Windows - 32Gb Ram i5 12400F, 6 cores at 4ghz - 5 hours 59 minutes, average speed 8 57fps Apple Mini M2 Pro
Open-source software currently supported on macOS PowerPC It should be possible to resurrect the version of Handbrake which supported powerpc via GitHub commit history and possibly update some components for it then It is likely to require quite a bit of effort and perhaps moving some external dependencies into static ones for exclusive usage by Handbrake (or otherwise patch a lot for compatibility
M4 32GB or M4 Pro with faster 24GB? - MacRumors Forums The general consensus at this point is that Handbrake software encoding produces better quality results, compared to hardware encoding (Which is faster though), so I wouldn't put my bet on that personally That being said, even if Handbrake is priority, I wouldn't use it as a reason to go for the M4 Pro Yep, absolutely
