But it is a problem for those of us who enjoy a good foreign film. If you don’t care about subtitles (e.g., you never watch foreign films), that may not matter to you.

However, MPEG-4 has a major limitation – you cannot store multiple subtitles in the video file itself. This is likely going to be the default for most people.

MPEG-4 (or mp4/MP4) is the most widespread format and the most compatible with various devices and programs. You can choose which format you want on the summary tab of Handbrake Each of these formats has advantages and disadvantages. I’m using HandBrake 1.3.3 which includes three options: MPEG-4, Matroska, and WebM. The first thing you need to decide when ripping a video using HandBrake is the resulting file format. But the primary reason why I’m posting is to detail how different settings translate into different file sizes so people have a better sense of what settings to use. That’s a terrible idea for a number of reasons, which I’ll detail in this post. I’ve been using HandBrake for years, but have typically just used the default settings. It’s the second step that is more complicated – compressing the video using HandBrake. Since that process is pretty straightforward, I’m not going to cover how to do it here. First, I have to rip the video from Blu Ray, which I do using MakeMKV. With a Plex server, I want my collection of movies backed up digitally so I can watch them when and where I want to.
