This might not be the best place for this question but I honestly can't think of another place, but if you know of one please let me know. But I figured someone here might have the experience I'm looking for.

I own the discs for various Star Trek series and everything Stargate. What I'm trying to do is use handbrake to encode them to put them on Plex. But everything I try, it just looks worse. Is there a repository of like recommended settings for various media?

I'd reccomened fine-tuning your own custom preset. Two things are important for quality, both in the Video tab of the GUI: the Quality slider and the speed of the Encoder. You can read about these in the Handbrake documentation: https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.7.0/workflow/adjust-quality.html
