Doesn't encoding reduce visual quality? Why would not want the full 4k experience?Damundai wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 12:31 amOk... silly question. Nice to see some of you getting this done, even though some are struggling with problems here and there. I just ordered the Middle Earth box set from Amazon and this is my first 4K purchase and will be my first 4K rip. I have an extensive collection (3000+) of movies on DVD and Blu-Ray and I know my bit rates for encoding them to MP4 format. I usually use 1500kbps video for DVD and 3500kbps video for Blu-Ray and bring my audio to 192kbps, 48K hz, Stereo for all my audio, regardless.
What bitrate is recommended for 4K and about audio, are you re-encoding to MP3 format or are you using pass-thru?
Thanks for any advice you can recommend!
PS: Seeing it is recommended 35–45 Mbps (35K=45K Kbps). Is this what you all use or do you leave the files in the ripped file format for your streaming?
Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit 4K (Finally!)
