HandBrake 1.7.0 – The open source video transcoder
Its literally a feature of all the underlying encoders. And you can do it even with exotic ffmpeg/vapoursynth filter chains. So I can't imagine why.
TBH I would just recommend Staxrip if you are on Windows: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip
There is a linux equivalent, I can't remember what its called.
Or maybe some av1an GUI for Mac/Linux. All of these things support a target file size with many more features.
- FFmpeg is getting better with multithreaded transcoding pipelines

Ffmprovisr – Making FFmpeg Easier
Since ffmpeg CLI still makes me pull ny hair out, I am going to plug vapoursynth:
https://www.vapoursynth.com/
Its Pythonic video filters... But also so much more: https://vsdb.top/
And Staxrip, which makes such good use of ffmpeg, vapoursynth, and dozens of other encoders and tools that I reboot from linux to Windows just to use it: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

How to install Av1an on Windows 10 x64 ?

How I archive miniDV tapes - a short guide
2-4: I use StaxRip to encode the video because it includes the QTGMC deinterlacer, which is from my research a very good deinterlacer that produces less artifacts in the video than other deinterlacers like the one included in HandBrake.

Intel A380 performance - advice wanted!
But I actually got through it and found a great solution for myself using StaxRip and an updated QSVEnc by Rigaya. Replace StaxRip's outdated QSVEnc with the updated Rigaya QSVEnc.

What does foobar user to transcode from Alac to Flac?
I've been looking around and am still figuring out the perfect solution but alac to flac is possible through a pipe. https://github.com/nu774/qaac/wiki/refalac-usage to convert to wav with specified folder is like this:

iPod classic and flac??
Second, you will want to install the foobar encoder pack and set up qaac (here's the qaac wiki). In short, apple's AAC/ALAC encoder in iTunes is the best around (better than Nero, Fraunhoefer, ffmpeg, etc) and ensures full compatibility with iPods. But fuck iTunes, you know, for being difficult. So qaac takes the encoder binaries from your installation of iTunes and sets it up as a standalone program which you can use however and wherever you want. So you set up qaac and then tell foobar to use qaac to do all your AAC/ALAC encodings and you get the benefits of apple's encoder without the nonsense of iTunes being uncooperative.

Is there a way to make an ipod classic support music beyond 48khz and 24 bits?
I use qaac as a CLI wrapper for the iTunes encoder. I don't use foobar, but I'm sure there's the option to set up using an external encoder. Every music manager I've ever used (except iTunes of course) has some way of setting up an external encoder via a command line.

It's been 84 years
I'm running an ABX test right now between that and a transcode made using qAAC, which is a windows port of Apple's AAC codec. Here is the spectogram of that, as proof.

AAC 320k is the best "lossy" compromise to FLAC
AAC is still my go-to lossy codec for mobile purposes, although 256kbps is enough for me. it's also worth poiinting out that not all encoders are created equal - Apple's own encoder far superior to FAAC, for example, so Windows or Linux users outside the Apple ecosystem should use qaac instead, as it is a port.

For our ipods, what software you guys use?
Qaac is the best AAC/ALAC solution as it uses apple's own libraries that are included with iTunes. iPods sometimes don't like files that were made with other encoders, so using apple's own libraries ensures the files will play. Setting it up might look intimidating if you aren't familiar with command line input though. Once set up, you can configure Media Monkey, EAC, etc to use qaac as an external encoder.

audio: how to precisely set desired bitrate/filesize?
By the way, I found a thread from 9 months ago with the same problem, and someone suggested using qaac, which requires Apple software to be installed.

iTunes Alternatives? Foobar2000 does not seem to work anymore
In any case, you'll need to provide the ALAC encoder since it isn't included with either MM or MB, and I'm pretty sure it's the same with the others on that list. Setting up qaac as an external encoder isn't hard, though you do need to follow instructions.
