Render settings for YouTube
Get Handbrake
Handbrake: 1080p Render settings
Video Codec: H.264 (x264)
Framerate (FPS): Same as source
option: Constant Framerate
Preset: Placebo*
Tune: none
Profile: high
Level: 5.2
Quality (option): Average Bitrate (kbps): 100000 kbps & 2-pass encoding**
*The speed preset has the biggest influence on the quality
**2-pass encoding = double rendering, better quality, optional in my opinion. if you have all the time in the world i suggest using this
