Ripbot264 will make use of all 8 cores, and will take advantage of the Quadras 640 Cuda cores to decode the VC-1 Track. I use an NVidea Quadra card with 4gb ram. I have a intel 5960x (8 core) system, X99 chipset, with a new 512gb Socket 3 M.2 drive (1050MByte read/960Mbyte write) and 64gb ram, of which 32gb is being used for a RAM disk. RipBot264 allows better control of these than does Handbrake. So you could have the same quality but different file sizes for each. It does convert VC-1 to H.264 and has settings to maintain what would otherwise be 100% original quality.Īs I am sure others have pointed out that H.264 and VC-1 are both different compression schemes. It allows pass through of both DTS/AC3 audio tracks even in "HD" mode.
Given the same encoder and same/equivalent filters, it's then a matter of what you find most usable and/or easiest to configure. crop or scale, if applicable) and most importantly, the quality of the H.264 encoder. It then comes down to the quality of any filters (e.g.
#MP4TOOLS CONVERTER MOVIE#
You can select faster settings (at the expense of lower compression efficiency).Ī good way to speed things up is to encode using CRF: it provided identical compression efficiency as 2-pass but only requires one pass, as it targets a perceived quality level as opposed to a bit rate (of course then you lose control of the output size, which will vary from movie to movie).įor your H.264 sources, passing the video through is the best solution if you don't have compatibility issues or size constraints, but for VC-1, you'll have to re-encode anyway, so there's nothing that makes inherently better or worse than equivalent tools, quality-wise. Speeding up conversion from VC-1 to H.264 is a matter of adjusting the encoding settings. I would also like to mention that I have very cautiously stayed away from HandBrake so far because I would like to stay as close to the original quality as possible, even for the M4V files. TLDR I would like to know if there is a more efficient way of converting MKV files encoded with VC-1 to M4V files encoded with H.264 than what I am currently using. The process of converting an H.264 MKV file to an M4V file takes about 30-40 mins if you decide to use the Pass-Through option which I do.įor movies encoded with VC-1, using Passthrough is not really an option so I use H.264 2-pass conversion which took about 24 hours to encode Jurassic Park to M4V format on my 2012 Core i5 MacBook Air. This gives me a near loss-less quality in M4V container. I am currently using MP4Tools to convert to H.264.
One copy in the M4V format using H.264 as the codec.įrom all the disks I have ripped so far, I have seen 2 codecs being used primarily - H.264 and VC-1. One copy of the unmodified, original MKV file using MakeMKVģ. I am very new to the disk ripping scene and I am limiting myself to following constraints -Ģ.
