I have a nas box which hold all my MP4 rips of the DVD`s I own. All were done with Handbrake on the high profile setting, RF of 19.
This has worked flawlessly for us. It may not be perfect, but for us, its a good balance between file size and quality.

However, I recently ripped my entire collection of Family Guy DVD`s and the quality is not as expected.
There are what I can only describe as "second outline" around the characters. Almost like a double image slightly offset from the first.
I have not experienced this in animated films, (Toy story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo etc.)

Any Ideas what's causing this. Anything I can change in Handbrake to help?

what did you rip it with handbrake?
personally HB is not great at ripping but (great at converting) try MakeMKV as a test to see if it still happens?
 
I rip mainly with DVD shrink if the encryption allows.
DVD Fab if not.

I Re author it to separate all the individual episodes, back up with no compression, then run the resulting VOB`s through Handbrake.

Edit - Quiet day today and I brought the files to work. Seems like the VOB`s have the same problem. So either the ripping is broken or its something
inherent to the DVD`s

deinterlace?
tv progs are usually interlaced

pcs don't deinterlace properly when playing back, TV's do, that's what they're designed for.

Well, the resultant MP4`s look just as bad on the TV. Tried decomb and deinterlace in Handbrake, without difference.

What I had not realised is that the uncompressed VOB files contain the error.
Going to have to try a different ripper. But surely, no compression would mean exactly as it is on the disc.

Perhaps its the discs themselves.
