I do this with an Automator dropper app that takes files that are 50fps and I only want at 25fps (there's nothing I'll get except double diskspace from having the originals).Ĭlick to expand.On Mac there used to be ffmpegX which was a GUI front for FFmpeg. If you're batch converting to the same settings and your source files are pretty similar spec then you should look at installing the Handbrake CLI and scripting it. Usually working from the internal SSD but I don't think reading/writing with a 5400rpm firewire 800 drive (or similar USB 3) will make it any slower.

This converting with settings based on Apple 30fps profiles and including transcoding to two audio tracks: AAC stereo (320kbps) plus AC3 5.1 channel (640kbps), unless suitable pass-thru tracks already exists. My Mac Mini late 2012 (2.5GHz dual core i5, burst to 3.1GHz, and 16 GB RAM) generally gets 300%-375% (4 hyper-threading cores) when running Handbrake and I let other stuff idle: DVD material is generally +40fps MKV from Blu-ray is around 6fps. In my experience Handbrake likes CPU and not much RAM. Not sure that RAM makes any difference but Windows will need a chunk anyway. Is that likely a better-performing platform vs the NAS? Meanwhile, we're planning to repurpose a Mac Mini (upgraded to 3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 w/ 16GB) for the transcoding project.

So before going any further, I'm looking for some feedback to help set my expectations for Handbrake performance in VM. But I am suspicious that those changes may offer little or no improvement in transcoding speed. I could try again with up to 32GB RAM and a larger memory allocation to Windows, etc. Much slower than anticipated, given the Pentium CPU.

I was surprised to find that transcoding speed on the NAS was barely 50% faster than a MacBook Air (1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 w/ 16GB). And then I installed Handbrake, along with a few videos to transcode. So I created my personal-first VM per NasCompares' instructions. We have a mostly idle DS3018xs (Intel Pentium D1508 w/ 8GB) that I considered pressing into service for high volume transcoding with Handbrake. I'm looking for perspective on performance from those more experienced with the VM environment on Synology NAS.
