Therefore, a media file comprises multiple components: the separate audio and video codecs, all wrapped up in a 'container' that's identified by its file extension. However, this means that even if a file appears to be in a universal format (such as MP4 or MKV), there's no guarantee it'll play on all your devices.
To get around this problem, media servers such as Plex and Jellyfin can convert incompatible codecs on the fly in a process called transcoding, allowing the file to play on a wide range of devices. The problem is that transcoding is a CPU-heavy task, so in an ideal world, you'll avoid it in all but extreme circumstances. The holy grail, therefore, is to produce a file that's good quality, offers plenty of choice in terms of audio and subtitle tracks, but which works on as wide a range of devices as possible. Sounds impossible? Not at all. Read on to discover how to produce compatible media files that stream perfectly time and again.
1 SET UP HANDBRAKE AND YOUR SOURCE FILE(S)
