Hey all,
I'm trying out the software now and for some reason, despite the results I like it better than other free options so I'd like to get this fixed so that I don't end up going with them.
Basically, I can rip a DVD just fine and it looks great. But it's downhill after that -- I've tried wmv, mp4, mkv, generic, etc. all on default settings. Here is the results:
The top image is Handbrake on the default mp4 settings, the bottom is DVDFab on the default DVD to Mobile (mp4) settings. Both used the DVDFab ripped folder for the source.
When examining the two in Mediainfo, the only differences I see are:
- Handbrake says "MPEG-4 (Base Media / Version 2)" and DVDFab says "MPEG-4 (Base Media)"
- Handbrake says 2 ref frames and DVDFab says 1 ref frame
- Handbrake has much less kbps bitrate, so that's not the issue
Any ideas? I'm wondering if it's the ref frames... where can you change that in DVD Fab? I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for any ideas!
