This is a great guide - I want to add that for Mac, Subler is a solid program for subtitles/track naming and some other nice metadata control.
I ripped all my BDs and DVDs more than 6 to 10 years ago, the same flow MakeMVK » HB »a Metadata massage to use in iTunes, and then moved to Plex, before I started just streaming. But I always planned to return and re-rip once storage options/quality/speed got better, so really helpful for a refresher.
The question I have is about Hardware Acceleration, as this is a newer idea for me. I'm seeing mixed commentary about HWA for encodes.
Im currently encoding a scene to do an AB test using your settings against Apple VideoToolbox H265, but am not confident on the change in Constant Quality from RF to CQ slider so will need to dial it in I guess, is there any insights on this?
Is a software encode more likely to get better quality?
