00:00so a particular video might have a certain extension like mp4 but the codec it uses might
00:15be different codec stands for coding and decoding and then what happens is that there are different
00:22standards for coding and decoding for videos so just for mp4 videos as well there are different
00:29coding standards so if I were to go ahead and then let's say for example load up a file right here
00:35so I'm just going to go ahead and load up let's say for example this file right here it is an mp4
00:42format right here so now it is actually scanning and this is what you have and here you can see
00:47that under tracks you can see s.264 is there so x264 is here which is the codec it uses for this
00:56particular mp4 video when you go ahead and export out videos as well you need to choose particular
01:02format and the codec for it so let's say for example if I were to select webm then if I were to go to
01:08video then you can see that you can choose different codecs for it which is vp8 and vp9 which are the
01:15codecs for webm format similarly if I were to select mkv right here then if I were to go around over here
01:22onto video then you can see that there's more codecs right here similarly if I were to go around
01:28over here onto mp4 and then go to video then these are the codecs that I have so the most common codec
01:35that is used for mp4 is s.264 but you can utilize newer s.265 as well which has better compression rate
01:44so you can go ahead and select this out right here just like this before you actually go ahead and
01:50convert so now uh as usual you can simply go ahead and select out a particular location where you want
01:56to go ahead and then export this out let's say for example I can go ahead and then uh let's say for
02:04example uh go ahead onto videos right here let's say for example and then under exports I'm just going
02:12to go ahead and export this out as s.265 right here just like this click on save and then simply start
02:21encoding and once you do that it will export this out as an mp4 format but will also make sure that
02:29it's using the s.265 standard for encoding the video so you need to wait for a while and depending
02:35on the uh the codec it might take different amounts of time to convert the video as well usually s.265
02:44is much more uh is much more time consuming for processing uh than s.264 so over here you can see
02:54that I have um skipped to the part where it has completed right here just like this and once that
03:00is done uh you can go around over here and you can see that this is the video that you have right
03:06here so if I were to actually go around over here and you can see that I have this video file right
03:11here that you can go ahead and access out and then this is the video that it exported using the s.265
03:19codec so that is how you can go ahead and then change out the video codec uh that you want while
03:26exporting video inside of handbrake so I hope you guys learned something as always and as always
