![]() I can fix the problem by getting another audio track of Dunkirk but worth a note for any others noticing lag with a 4k direct stream through Plex. My cpu on my server is being utilized very little to transcode audio so I know it is not the bottleneck. I had the same thing happed with La La Land if I chose an audio track my server had to transcode. I think this may be the bottleneck and cause of the lag, but do not have another 4k monitor/tv to test. I have Cat6 running throughout my house except for a Cat5 cable (pre-run from Fios) running from outside to inside my basement. The transcoding doesn't tax my cpu but it seems to cause the video/audio to lag behind. I found more articles also indicating that any re-encoding in Handbrake will remove the HDR, so not doing that. What do you use as a backup? I am currently using a 7TB external drive and have an additional at my parents. I did re-rip La La Land without the Spanish and French audio tracks and only lost a few GB which is fine. I have a 10TB RAID but am already using 6 TB so I know I can't do too many 70+GB movies. I just ripped Blade Runner: The Final Cut and was 45 GB. Not sure if that is your problem or not, but you can check the Plex Web status when playing back the DTS stream to see what all its transcoding. I have read some stuff in the Plex forums that playback of HDR is a bit messed up at the moment, which some clients triggering a full transcode of the video and audio if source requires any kind of conversion. My PMS uses an i5-2500k, and it only struggles with transcoding 4k down to 1080p. Transcoding audio, even DTS, shouldn't tax your i7. Also, I read that Handbrake will always convert HDR to SDR unless you are using one of their experimental nightly builds. I am less concerned about the size since I have a 20TB RAID for my Plex Media Server. Every movie is different, but most will be 50-80GB.įor me, I use MakeMKV to pull the video track and the main audio track and then don't re-encode it unless the source is VC-1, MPEG2 or I want to burn in subtitles. ![]() Starmax wrote:Thats about the right size if you are pulling in all the audio. Do you all recommend re-ripping without the audio tracks or just expect each UHD to be about this size? I will be following the thread for recommendations on compressing UHD without noticeable quality loss using Handbrake. I am experiencing some lag when streaming from my Plex server (gigabit network), but only when using the DTS track (ACS has no lag but is commentary) because the Plex server has to transcode the audio on the fly. I am just not seeing anyone's file size for an UHD that large, is it because of the audio tracks added? I did download an UHD REMUX of Dunkirk which was 46 GB and only two audio tracks. I have a 74 GB file size for La La Land, is this larger than normal? I did assume they would be larger since 4k is x4 the resolution of blu-ray but is H.265. Just bought an Asus BW-16D1HT and ripped La La Land with more UHDs coming in from Amazon soon. I have been following the forums and was excited when UHD support was added. I generally pull the movie off blu-rays with just about all the audio tracks to then select which tracks I want when I compress into Handbrake.
