I really don't like using average bitrate, as it can inflate file sizes unnecessarily, but it was the only option for VideoToolBox encoding.
I used Handbrake's Fast 1080p30 preset but with the quality changed to an average bitrate of 1500 kbps. And everyone should see this 118-year-old movie at least once, too. It has no sound so that doesn't use up additional time. I used Le Voyage Dans la Lun from 1902 for this purpose, because at 11 minutes it's big enough that the start/stop overhead won't dominate but small enough that testing doesn't take forever. So I did some testing, with very interesting results. Turns out that VideoToolBox is an Apple framework for decoding and ecoding video, using hardware features for that purpose when possible. The new thing I noticed are the (VideoToolBox) options. The default encoders in Handbrake for these codex are x264 and x265, respectively. The former is older, faster and more compatible, the latter produces smaller files.
The most obvious choices are H.264 and H.265. When you encode a video, you can select between several encode options. I discovered something interesting in the video encoding app Handbrake today.
