If AUTOTAG doesn't find the right data, make sure your title matches the movie title on iTunes, IMDB, and the other sources.

This will search a few sources on the Internet based on the movie's file name, and write the file metadata based on that.

Select whether this is a Movie, TV Show, Music Video or none of the above.

Find the MP4 file that HandBrake created.

We're done, but we can do a few more steps to make the movies easier to browse in a Plex library, or just in your file explorer. When that's done, that's it! Your file is now converted to MP4 format, so it can be played back on nearly every device. My system has a Ryprocessor with the stock speed and cooler, and it can encode a two-hour or so movie at lossless quality in about an hour. A 'lower' quality may not look different compared to a lossless file, and it'll save a lot of time and space on your hard drive. How long the encode takes will depend on how beefy the CPU in your system is, as well as what quality you set the encode to. This is what we want, but you can still change some settings by clicking the Video tab.

By default, HandBrake will encode the file as an MP4.

Adjust the file name and location as you set fit.

Open the MKV file that MakeMKV created.

Download and install HandBrake - again, we use this on our computers.

That can be played on most platforms, but an MP4 file is going to be supported on literally anything with a screen, and it'll require less processing power if you're going to have the file in a Plex server. As the name suggests, makeMKV just turns the file from the disk into an MKV file. We're done with the disk, but we can go a few steps further to make your movie or TV Show file a bit easier to playback.
