Re: Multiple queues with titles
I apologize for including the script inline in my last post. Maybe a friendly admin will remove that post for me? I didn't see the code button on the editor. Anyway, here's an update of my perl wrapper for HB 0.9.3. It works exactly the same as before, except that it ignores titles shorter than 10 m...

I looked into this, as well. All DVDs are interlaced, but the frame reassembly instructions that accompany the frames may result in a progressive frame on your playback device. The reassembly instructions have a nasty habit of changing a lot, mid-stream, which makes detecting how to reassemble them ...

I am doing this on a loose heterogeneous cluster of linux boxes and osx boxes, using perl and the CLI versions of handbrake/mediafork. It works rather well, and is surprisingly easy to do if you know a scripting language. I've also done it with XGrid as a grid controller. Here's what I did: 1) Put a...

Once you run your video through HandBrake's deinterlacer, it is deinterlaced, absolutely. Unfortunately, it does this by discarding every other line of the video and line doubling to compensate. Once this is done, there is no longer any need to re-deinterlace. Re-deinterlacing will at best result in...

It's mostly been said above by jbrjake, but it's your player, and it's not limited to quicktime. Assuming that the display is constant and the gamma is unchanged, players display with different gammas and brightness. Forget about the HB transcode, look at a single original VOB file with different pl...

Just a quick update to this...most of my problems were user error. Ghostbusters and Mediafork were fine, I had a bug in my batch script that prevented it from seeing titles>9 and the main title was on 11 or 14 or something. Sorry about that. The red on black thing is indeed in the x264 codec. I down...

These forums are the best docs that I have found to give me insights into how to use handbrake. I recently endeavored on a project similar in scale and purpose to yours, and I have learned 2 very important things on this forum thus far: 1) Don't use deinterlacing unless you are targeting video for a...

I have been looking into this more since it was suggested to me that not all DVDs are interlaced. From what I can find, it seems that technically the mpeg-2 streams on all DVDs are still inherently interlaced. However, there is a flag set for frames inside the stream (MPEG-2 repeat_first_field flag)...

You're just misinterpreting what quality is referring to. I agree. I completely missed it. I thought it would set a 264 bitrate that was roughly 95% of the average compressed mpeg-2 bitrate, maybe with a weight on it for how much better x264 was than mpeg-2. I didn't expect a percentage of the bitr...

Holy cow was I wrong. An H264 transcode of 3 GB mpeg-2 title set to 95% quality resulted in a nearly 12 GB file, and you were right, the bitrates were prohibitively high. I expected that it would be, at most, 95% of the the size of the original 3 GB title, put probably much smaller due to H264's bet...

Yeah. That's ok with me. I only have 1 player device: a mini running front row connected to a projector. All I want is to get my DVD backups into frontrow at near original quality without relying on an external app to play them. I don't really care too much about processing time or file size. I'm ru...
