my DVD encodes always work without any major issues. but for some reason BluRay’s with me have been hit and miss.
i recently purchased 3 BluRays, all encoded using handbrake (high profile). first @ an RF of 22 which ended up freezing up my WD TV, so i upped the RF to 24 then 26 and im still getting this freezing issue at the same spot on all 3 movies.
included below is my media info for just one movie, in hopes that whatever the issue is it will be the fix for all and future BluRay encodes
@ RF 22
