Of course anamorphic is better[1] - *I* implemented it.

The problem is that with really long movies, you run over the 4GB mark. Internally, MP4 files use integers to store information about the chunks of video and audio contained within them. However, according to the spec, the default size of this integer is 32 bits (unsigned) which means that it can't ...

Re: Ripping Fight Club - please help!!!!

Has anyone EVER ripped Fight Club successfully. I have been trying for days unsuccessfully through multiple options, of which an output with unplayable chapters exists. MTR2.6.6 has been used and doesn't work either. I know, I know, this is not the forum for MTR, but I figured since their forum has...

gargunkie: You need a command-line more like this: handbrake -i /dev/acd0 -t 5 -e x264 -x level=30:threads=1 -w 368 -l 208 -E faac -R 48 -b 500 -o test.mp4 Though it's worth noting that you can use settings as aggressive as: handbrake -i /dev/acd0 -t 5 -e x264 -x level=30:threads=1 -p --crop 0:0:0:0...

So, doing some more testing... Using the suggested x264 encoding options works great in HandBrake 0.8.5b1 - however, if you're willing to upgrade your copy of x264 to something more recent, you can throw away that threads=1 parameter and stick with just 'level=30' - and you'll still get files that t...

Ok, I made a quick pass through all the music-video DVDs that I've ripped, and I saw stuttery videos on (at least one track on) these DVDs: Concrete Blonde - Still In Hollywood Depeche Mode - Videos 86-98 Duran Duran - Greatest Eurythmics - Greatest Hits Lamb - Best Kept Secrets Love and Rockets - ...

Re: Stuttery video when ripping certain DVDs

When I use Handbrake 0.8.5b1 or 0.7.1 on OSX to rip the videos from the DVD "The Work of Director Michel Gondry", the video comes out stuttery. The best example of this is the "Come Into My World" video (title 10 on the DVD side A). I've tried various encoding formats, and the r...

Seems to work for me if I use: -MP4 container -FFmpeg encoder -29.97FPS (though I also tried with 15 FPS, and that worked as well) -Bitrates up to 1500 (though the file claimed that the resulting bitrate was only 942, the PSP still handled it fine) -368x208 resolution Have not gotten a single encode...

What version of the PS3 firmware do you have?

I've done all of my testing with versions 1.6 and 1.7 and the built-in preset works perfectly on my US unit.

How are you getting your files onto the PS3? What does it say when you try to play them (something like 'Unsupported Data')?

I've got a video output plugin in the works that will (theoretically) support Theora.

It's nowhere near working yet, but after we release 0.9, it's definitely a possibility.

I can't believe that you've suggested this. Why not just use Disk Utility to create an ISO of the DVD itself? I mean, that's 100% lossless, and you can preserve the multiple audio tracks and subtitles perfectly! And you don't even need MediaFork for it. Disk Utility comes with OS X. Here's the thing...

Fair enough - the main difference between coding with Qt versus GTK at this point is just language. If you want to use GTK, you write in C or use C++ with gtkmm, or you use one of the other variants (like, say, pygtk); but if you're not using C or C++, you'll need to do language bindings for libhb, ...

Yes.

Yeah, I've been working on a Qt4 frontend. It doesn't share any code with any of the other frontends, but I did use the test.c source to figure out how to use the libhb API. Current status is, it can rip successfully, but it doesn't offer all of the GUI options that the other platforms have yet. If ...
