I’ve used handbrake a handful of times to compress ripped DVDs. Settings pulled of ChatGPT with alterations roughly halving the file size (e.g. 5gb down to 2.5gb)

When viewing the compressed file I can see the quality drop some blur and pixels and it annoys me.

Wondering if this is the trade off or if there is a better way, maybe a different compression tool

Any tips would be appreciated

Edit, using M4 Mac mini
