This might not be the best place for this question but I honestly can’t think of another place, but if you know of one please let me know. But I figured someone here might have the experience I’m looking for.

I own the discs for various Star Trek series and everything Stargate. What I’m trying to do is use handbrake to encode them to put them on Plex. But everything I try, it just looks worse. Is there a repository of like recommended settings for various media?

Never used Plex but maybe you could repackage the DVD content into MKV with MKVtoolnix, without recompression

Many DVDs use interlaced video. Normally, you would deinterlace the video when transcoding it. If you don’t transcode, then the player will need to have deinterlacing enabled when playing the DVD rips.

I’ve never heard of that tool, but I’ll look into it.

Think of Plex as a private Netflix, but more. You can put video files on it, music, you can even use it as a DVR!
