Okay I was able to finally download your video and replicate the setup here. I’m not seeing any issue with the output filesize here (it’s 815MB after conversion).
Digging deeper into your logs I think I see the source of your issue. It’s your graphics driver.
The source video you have has many corrupted timestamps on it and the logs are 90% full of these errors:
2023-11-10T08:05:27 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [h264_qsv @ 0000000004b60380] A decode call did not consume any data
2023-11-10T08:05:27 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [NULL @ 00000000083b1080] missing picture in access unit
Then I noticed that in your logs the graphics driver was not able to handle these video issues and it ended up duplicating a lot of the video content while trying to correct for the errors that ended up increasing the video bitrate to 49Mbps
2023-11-10T08:05:59 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [08:05:59] mux: track 0, 159273 frames, 16304021784 bytes, 49059.44 kbps, fifo 1024
2023-11-10T08:05:59 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [08:05:59] mux: video bitrate error, +15477179768 bytes
Where as on my test machine, my driver was compensating by dropping the corrupted video frames and thereby reduced the bitrate:
2023-11-13T16:50:28 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [16:50:28] mux: track 0, 159273 frames, 814012086 bytes, 2449.39 kbps, fifo 2048
2023-11-13T16:50:28 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake → [16:50:28] mux: video bitrate error, -12829930 bytes
That’s why you’re getting a much larger file. It’s your graphics driver that the problem (well actually the source video is the root cause but the bad graphics driver is the reason for the big files).
You have 3 options here:
- Update/downgrade your graphics drivers if you want to use hardware acceleration to convert the video to one that’s not a problem.
- Turn off hardware acceleration / gpu encoding in the conversion task settings
- See the recommendation above to use the MP4 Unprocessed profile since you really don’t need to convert your videos encoding, just cut them and the change the container from TS to MP4.
