This is just my opinion but this is what has worked for me. Subler will extract that for you without altering your video, that said, so would other free tools like mkvmerge though i find subler easier to use in some ways. Subler, well i used that solely to extract stupid things i didnt want before sending the batch to flicks - things like multiple audio streams (i don't want or need 15 languages) and multiple subtitle files. Handbrake to my knowledge doesn't so that Both these programs also optimise the file, which doesn't alter quality but from what i have read makes things much faster to stream/start. It also adds the metadata and cover art itself though you can change art or things around as you wish. ![]() Works flawlessly for me so i see no reason why it shouldn't for you. iFlicks is a batch program so just drag and drop as many files as you want into it. ![]() Ask it to create an itunes compatible file and it will passthrough audio, and provide 2 audio tracks, one stereo and one surround sound from your dts audio or multichanel codec. iFlicks will do what you ask with little to no input from you throughout. I agree that handbrake is excellent and have used the cli to batch things in the past but this past month iv been using subler (a free app) and iFlicks (not free but i couldn't have survived without it). Copying all sorts of movies and tv shows into my 6tb (now full) external itunes library so they can be played over atv, airplay, ps3, you name it. Hello, Iv been doing something very similar to you this past month. If you just have DVDs, then you need advice from someone else. I have a 9 TB Raid-0 array that I've filled up about 1/3 of the way (when adding in my TV show rips).įYI, all of my information above is moot if your video source is not HD BR rips. Therefore, if your 700 movies are all BR, be prepared to have ample HDD space available. My 320 BR movies take up approximately 1.9 TB. I think HB's ATV3 preset does a good balancing job between file size and quality. Audio trails the BRs due to no DTS-HD/TrueHD or DTS audio, just DD 5.1. My wife cannot tell a difference I can only tell a slight difference. I'm watching these on a 55" Sony 1080p LED tv from approximately a distance of 7-8.5 feet. ![]() Video wise, I think the Apple TV 3 preset does a wonderful job. ![]() I generally watch the BR first, and then down the road my wife and I will watch the encode via the ATV3. For a few of the movies I have changed the CQ to 19.5 or 19, but that was only a handful of times and those movies were taken out of my average and range calculation. I have an older thread talking about the video size, which for my BR movies averages about 5.8-6.0 GB, with a range around 2.5 GB to 22 GB. The Apple TV 3 does not support such audio, but I want to future proof my M4V encodes for when, hopefully, the Apple TV supports DTS. The only consistent change I have made is to add a third audio track using the DTS-HD Passthru option or Auto Passthru. Then I use the Apple TV 3 preset in Handbrake. I'm in the process of converting all of my Blu-Ray movies and shows for the Apple TV 3/iPad 3 (I also have an iPhone 5 but have no interest in watching video on it).
