Ive been using handbrake to convert MKV to H264 or MP4 so it can play in my car head unit (2013 Pioneer AVH-X8500bhs).
Sometimes the video will play ok from start to end, sometimes it freezes but can be played back again by pressing the play/pause button. Sometimes this happens only 3x for the whole video, sometimes it happens like 20x.
I am converting the revolution TV series and original MKV file size is around 1.7GB and the h264/mp4 output is around 700-800MB.
In this regard, can you give me the most basic setting (baseline) so that my head unit will not have a hard time in decoding the video.
my settings now: (Handbrake)
Display Size = 800x450
Container = Mp4
Video Codec = H264 (or Mpeg-4 Ffmpeg)
Anamorphic = Loose
Modulus 16
Äudio = AC3 / Codec = AAC (faac) Bitrate = 160
Mixdown = stereo
Profile = Baseline
Tune = Film
H264 level = 2.2
H264 preset = default
Framerate = same as source (variable)
Quality = Constant (10)
Should I click advanced settings?
My computer for encoding = i7 (3.6Ghz 3820) 32GB ram multiple Hard drive Geforce 660ti
Note: When using xvid, the video plays without any problems on my head unit (i use Xvid4PSP to encode but the thing is, audio is not as good - only mp3 320bit- and batch conversion gets errors in xvid4psp) xvid file size is 500-600MB
