In the Video tab you'll want to select some specific settings.

If you want to remove noise or grain from a source, setting Denoise to hqdn3d with a custom preset of 1:1:4:4 is a solid choice. If a TV show is interlaced, for example, it's a good idea to set Decomb to Fast as this will only deinterlace frames that are visibly interlaced.

In the Filters tab, you'll only want to modify these settings where necessary, leaving everything else 'off'.

If, however, you have a 21:9 video encoded in 16:9, the cropping feature will automatically crop out the black bars at the top and bottom. Sometimes it will erroneously crop out a few pixels on any side, but you can address this by switching to custom with 0 set in every location box. Also check to make sure the automatic cropping feature has detected the correct settings.

Head to the Picture tab, and set Anamorphic mode to strict.

Then set a destination by browsing to whatever folder you desire. Input the file you want to be transcoded by clicking the large Source button and then File (clicking Folder allows you to easily set up batch encodes).Also, change the container from MP4 to MKV so that you can embed subtitles if you want to.Firstly, you'll want to change the video codec under the Video tab from H.264 to H.265 (x265).While I'll be exploring other encoding options later in this article, this page will give you step-by-step instructions on how to set Handbrake to encode small, high-quality HEVC files.
