[N.O.W.A.L.L]

If you are using 2 pass encoding, what do you have Average Bitrate set at? I've always used Constant Quality CF=20.

look at the 1080p/720p movie resolution > divide its width by its height > you get a number like, 1,75 or 2.35 etc > look in the table below, with the correct FPS column > it gives you a fork of bitrates (I always choose the highest one because I never understood the *bits* thing in the table haha!

H264 can keep the same information with smaller size but good quality.
That sounds good but I can't even add my videos into handbrake just like this one: http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tip...found.html
I just want to copy my recording videos they're mts files. I'm afraid that handbrake can't recognise them.

Hmmm.... Sure, but it all depends on how the original encoding was done.

This was a pretty old thread already, but FYI, using HEVC on h.264 videos with ffmpeg works out pretty well in general. Compression rates go from 50-85%, 75% is the usual average for me. Using a Nvidia GTX950 here, video quality is fine for me, as well as the speed of conversion. A 1080p video will do some 3-4 fps using the i3-3225 CPU, it will do some 150-250 fps using the GTX950.
