After adjusting the settings, the conversion process can be initiated. Depending on the file size, the duration of the process can vary, though a one-minute conversion time is typical for moderately sized videos.
Monitoring the Conversion Process
During the conversion, it’s possible to interact with HandBrake, such as checking the status of the encoding or even previewing the original video file while the new format is being created.
In this example, the size of the compressed video was reduced to just 69 megabytes, demonstrating an impressive compression ratio. After encoding was finished, a quick quality check verified that the file retained its integrity, showcasing how effective HandBrake is at preserving video quality during compression.
