I use handbreak all the time to re-encode to be smaller. A screen-capture video is usually like 1/10th the size after re-encoding so I can upload it to a bug report system.
I also find that lots of tools artists are using generate multi-gig files that compress with the default settings in handbreak to 1/10th the size, and at least personally, I can't tell the difference at a glance. I sometimes think the size is being used as a proxy for "quality" so the artist and some of their patrons think larger file size = better
- kccqzy 2y agoI use Handbrake to encode piano practice sessions to be sent to the piano teacher. Since the teacher cares more about audio quality I configure Handbrake to use the original audio stream. I dial down the video quality from the default 24 or so to 28 for lower quality. Artifacts are somewhat visible but acceptable. The multi-gig files from the camera become small enough to be emailed directly. However while Handbrake supports this use case perfectly I don't think there's a way to re-encode the audio but keeping the video. I guess that's when this submission comes handy.
