Tegra 2 Friendly Handbrake Settings

[MukiEX]

This seems to be the highest quality config I can use that gives me working videos without lag or jutter. If you're using "Constant Quality", I've only tested RF as far as 20 on moderately high-speed motion with no issues (720p). If anyone has more to contribute regarding their own settings, it'd be much appreciated. I use MVideoPlayer to watch stuff.

Note: Do NOT use MKV. For those watching anime on their Adam, I feel for you, but you'll have to include the subs separate. MKV support on Tegra 2 is straight-up buggy. On many videos, the Adam will straight-up cut out at various points, and the Xoom (also Tegra 2-based), will lose audio at the exact same points (exiting and resuming the video will "fix" this, up until the next bug-inducing moment).



Also, any "attachment" system that automatically converts PNG to JPG, even when the resulting JPG is A LARGER IMAGE SIZE (and lower quality, and a lower, unreadable resolution), needs work.

Thanks so much for posting this, you've saved me the hours of testing settings... now I can just have my kids battle out which movies they want for our summer car trip and we'll be all set!

Thanks mate . Ive not heard of this mvideoplayer . i must search for it . Im not clear on your mkv advice tho , and since all my mkvs are at least 720p ( can we do 1080p on adam ? ) , im concerned . Did you mean mkv on adam with mvideoplayer
is a write off , and advise no mkv on adam ( with mvideoplayer ) ?

Thanks for all the work you put into this

Think mkv are currently knackered on tegra 2 devices. conversion is only option at the moment till codec comes out. Other formats seem fine.

Muki - thanks for settings

I found the settings from Muki gave good results but took a long time to convert, sometimes as much as 2 mins conversion for each min of play :-S

I tracked this down to the Video Codec and swapping this makes a 2 hour movie convert in about 40 min and a 45 min video in 30 min (odd I know). Changing mine from H.264(x264) to MPEG-4(FFmpeg) on the Video tab worked these wonders. This dose alter to the Constant Quality scale, I found that to equal the RF setting of 20 you need 3 (slightly better) or 4 (slightly worse).

FYI
a 43:06 min:second show (1280x720) at quality 4 is 480,660 KB
a 43:15 min:second show (1280x720) at quality 3 is 664,336 KB

benji i found that changing from H.264 to MPEG 4 would knock the advanced settings that u said off.
i have tried everything now and still cannot find a file that works apart from said first,and that only worked for one film
