Shogoz here! Here’s a quick and easy guide about the best way to use HandBrake to compress videos. This tutorial shows you how to get the best quality compression settings in HandBrake and HandBrake Nightly builds. This video also features comparisons between the h265 (HEVC) and h264 (AVC) codec. Without ‘Reactions’, this tutorial wouldn’t have been possible as he is the one who taught me how to do this. Thank you, Reactions!
