Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I use Handbrake to do all the encoding. It has some presets you can use. Select the one that suits your needs. ... Nice thing about Handbrake, it can batch processing, dump the files, and it will convert all the files.
  • Im running a windows 11 vm with handbrake to encode my Blu-ray collection.
  • Handbrake
  • Put them on your NAS somewhere, Transcode them with handbrake if you'd like them to be smaller
  • The files are ripped with MakeMKV and then converted and shrunk in file size for storage via handbrake.

Cons

  • For older footage I may or may not use, could I use handbrake and make them 1080p but keep it in log?
  • But Handbrake doesn't rip.
  • For encoding, I've been using HandBrake for a while, but I do think DVDFab simplifies a lot of the decisions and saves you time in the long run, especially if you're dealing with different formats and devices.
  • Use handbrake and make sure it’s a MKV file. That way you can have multiple subtitle options.
  • As a beginner, I find it confusing, especially with settings in tools like ffmpeg or HandBrake.

Can you just convert the files in Handbrake and edit them in Final Cut?
