The only thing that is a real factor in old black and white films: They are incredibly grainy. Classic black and white films are grainier. So that naturally makes compression better. Even the most action filled black and white film’s action is nowhere near the head spinning imagery fest most modern full color films are. The reason why this works is old black and white films don’t have much camera action. Less action in most any classic black and white film. But these settings work great to reduce the file size of a large 1080pm black and white video to something smaller. Now 480p seems small and dinky and might be considered “crappy” by some. Here are my notes and the preset settings. I used these preset settings recently to convert some classic black and white files in MKV format to 480p MP4 files. Writing library : libebml v1.3.5 + libmatroska v1.4.5įormat profile : settings : CABAC / 4 Ref Frames Writing application : mkvmerge v15.0.0 ('Duel with the Devil') 64-bit The file has the following properties: Format : Matroska The output format is not important to me. That's why I'm not mainly interested in keeping same quality, but in reducing size from 11GB to about 3GB-4GB (about 3 times) as fast as possible.įWIW, I am in Linux but prefer Handbrake to something like ffmpeg in terminal because I like to see info on progress the way Handbrake shows it and because I want to test this program and learn how to adapt its use to my needs. My intention is to keep the original and to create smaller versions for practical reasons when watching on various devices that imply copying to a USB flash drive, etc… I have a good quality black and white old movie in MKV format of 11GB.
