Handbrake x265 Optimal settings for ripping DVD I want to rip DVDs(MPEG2) to MKV using Handbrake for viewing on PC, and currently i am not sure about the settings of the x265 encoder.
Can anyone suggest the optimal settings for:


CRF : 19 ? 23 ? 25 ?
8-bit or 10-bit (Main or Main10) (Has 10-bit any advantages for low-res like DVD ? )
Encoder tune - none / SSIM / Grain ?
bframes or other parameters ?
CFR or VFR ?


Also i am open to any suggestions for tuning of an other parameteres.
I have searched by google but all guides are not specific enough for the case of DVDs.

The resolution is 700x574 , source MPEG2 bitrate is 3Mbps

Additional question - are there any good guides for general parameter tuning x265 like bframes ?
Thank you very much.
Summary response for summary question :)


CRF 20 will look really nice
8-bit (no advantages over 10-bit)
No tuning. Grain tuning is for grainy source (old content). SSIM is for testing.
No additional parameters needed.
VFR (same as source)


I could really, really, reallly go down the rabbit hole with a more detailed answer, but I'll leave it at this for now.
