How do you control the file size? I read that some use Handbrake after the upscaling. Isn’t this just at the expense of the quality you just improved? What settings in Handbrake do you use for this? And is there no way to control the file size within video AI?
this is what I do and the quality is not compromised.
-
Export in TVAI using FFV1 lossless (very large file size, but with Lossless compression)
-
then feed the TVAI export file (FFV1) into Handbrake encoding it to x265 to reduce the file size with the settings of CRF between 21-23 . that way I get almost as lossless quality but much much smaller file size.
NOTE: you can use x264 instead of x265 if you need legacy device compatibility, but most devices these days play nicely with x265.
You can read more about the CRF value settings Here that might work best for you.
Good Luck. let me know how it went…

And to add a little more information on what Akila said, TVAI can only do hardware encoding of H.265/4. All current hardware encoders take short-cuts and make compromises for speed. They cannot yield as much quality as the software encoding that Handbrake makes available can.
Hardware encoders can (H.264) get the same quality, but will always be larger in file size.
