Lately I've been messing around with re-encoding some things to h.265. Beyond wanting a 5960x, there are a few things roadblocking me a bit. One is that I would like to have a tell-all tool to look at the source files before I convert them. I want to see what video codec was used, what the bitrate was, and what audio codec was used and what that bitrate was, mostly. I don't want to re-encode something to h.265, only to have the improved efficiency botched by upconverting the audio from 128kbps to 160kbps, for example.
Also, the tool I'm using is Handbrake. I've been doing some messing around here and there, but if anyone has some tips or some general guidelines to follow, I'd be grateful to have something to go on rather than kinda shooting in the dark. My aim here is to improve the filesize efficiency of older videos, even ones encoded with h.264, without sacrificing quality by taking advantage of h.265's better compression.
