Basically used the Apple > Universal preset and changed a few things.
But read my previous post.
It's really not ideal at the moment. Grainy source material outputs very large/high bitrate files. (stutter on the xbox).
Good quality source material works fine, but for older/grainy DVD's you really need to raise the RF number (lower constant quality percentage) to bring the bitrate down and make the file playable on the xbox.
So as it stands it's still very much trial and error. I'm trying to figure out ways to cap the bitrate.
I should note that this is not the fault of Handbrake, it is performing as it is supposed to in Constant Quality mode. The lower quality the source, the higher the bitrate has to be to maintain quality.
I will continue to work on it, but I am leaning towards using the windows based encoding guide already on this forum. I think it is based around MeGUI.
But I would like to get a working solution on the Mac.
