Ffmpeg - fast but bad results, handbrake - slow but good results (lemmy.one)

Hi all,

I have been re-encoding using handbrake’s presets (Matroska hevc 480p/1080p) and results are good for the most part, some issues here and there. I started trying out ffmpeg with cuda and hevc_nvenc and p7 preset. Video quality looks way better but audio is very bad. I am using aac 128k and the audio is very compressed and quite frankly hurts my ears. I started looking into the handbrake options and there’s auto pass through and stereo downmixing, etc. I tried reading the ffmpeg documentation but there is a lot there and I’m not really sure what I’m doing.

tldr; Anyone have tips on getting good quality audio encoding (aac) from my bluray rips?

Running on Ubuntu LTS. I will try out copying the audio and comparing. I have a huge backlog and already made a good dent before I caught this problem.
