O.K., O.K… Once and for all, :?: unless you're burning a (non-Blu-ray) DVD for video playback on a personal computer , are standard DVD discs (DVD5, 9) >incapable< of "handling" 720 or 1080 video on standard DVD console playback devices (even the very latest models?)? (I should know this, ...

:idea: So, given the years-long, carefully observed policy of HandBrake's programmers and contributors of maintaining feature parity across platforms and highly- portable , relatively platform-independent, human readable documented source code, does the fact that: QSV support is available via a diff...

If you are converting from say MPEG2 to x264, then I don't think you can just copy and paste the frames into the new file. So I take it your question isn't to improve the quality, but to increase the frame rate, as you can increase the image quality by turning up the CRF. I might guess that when Ha...

Thanks, s55

s55:

I DO NOT want to sacrifice quality!

Good answers s55.

Thanx,

Yes, this has been asked before . The short answer is that its out of Handbrake's developers hands. To grossly oversimply this, handbrake sits on top of x264 , which does all the encoding. If x264 ever implements OpenCL and GCD then Handbrake will inherit those enhancements. x264 did have a google ...

I use HandBrake all the time and LOVE IT! I apologize if this question has already been asked by someone in another post. If so, perhaps someone can simply direct me to that discussion. With Snow Leopard's Grand Central Dispatch, which better harnesses the synergistic performance benefits of multipl...

jbrjake,

Even if you were joking, the link actually helped me out a lot!

Rodney,

Thanks SO MUCH for your edifying information. You helped me out A LOT!

I've had a lifelong confusion with "greater than" and "less than" mathematical symbols. I read about psy-rd and that the Subpixel Motion Estimation has to be 6 or lower (or maybe 6 or greater?) (I don't know--the mathematical <, > symbols confuse my diminutive brain). I also read...

Trellis 2 will work with psy-trellis. I don't understand deblock as it relates to H.264, but only a fool would touch it without very good reasoning based on the advice I see given elsewhere. You can use subme > or = to 6, so subme 9 is fine too. My bad. I got my mathematical signs mixed up. I read ...

ok you have to reread this thread carefully basically deinterlacing is something to do with the source -- and so is deblocking in the filters tab. both 'filter' the source video to deinterlace or deblock. the deblocking under the advanced tab is about something called a loop filter that H.264 uses ...

That sounds like something to tout as a feature of the encoder: always on deinterlacing without any loss of speed! :lol: Do you mean the Decombing option under "Picture" or the Deinterlace option under H.264 Advanced Options. If I understand correctly the Deinterlace H.264 option compares...

I'm saying it's so low-quality it can't reproduce one-pixel tall details. You're not seeing the combing because the encoder is so bad it can't preserve any detail. It has nothing to do with the content. You're losing a lot more than combing. Can't even produce 1 pixel tall details! I did not know t...

I hear what you're saying, but I DID get combing with 264 using the default Decomb settings under "Picture," but did NOT get them using FFMPEG (also with the same default Decomb settings under "Picture.") I have no explanation why. Um, what? You've been given the explanation ove...

Glad you found your encoding settings but please realize that combing/interlacing has nothing to do with your choice of encoder. Also H.264 isn't about quality, it's about Quality over Size, thus explaining why you can get the same quality in a a larger file with ffmpeg. Hmmmm... I hear what you're...

I may not be communicating groundbreaking, unknown information, but my experience so far with HandBrake is that the type of content you are encoding is EVERYTHING as far as settings or even encoders. I have a relatively slow machine, and my x.264 encodes take days. I am encoding episodes of The Simp...

P.S. You read my posts but don't offer any help -- just excoriating criticism. This helps me in no way. And if you really want to shorten posts, you should ban everyone who uses quotes -- they take up a lot of room and sometimes require (God forbid) some exhausting scrolling.

I don't know, but I'll tell you this: If he doesn't stop with it soon, he'll be banned from the forum. We all have better things to do than scroll through his padded posts. OK. No more periods. (Such a high crime!) I had no idea they were SO viscerally offensive to people. And as far as, "We a...

. Initially I spoke of "P-frames." I meant "B-frames." My bad. I fully realize all my questions are naïve; I throw myself on the mercy of you experts. Please be patient with me. The more I try to learn, the more confused I get. Some H.264 documentation says to use as many B-frame...

It'll likely be an external patch from someone not involved with the project would be needed for this to ever appear. Most if not all developers are interested in x264 which is why these other encoders get so little interest. We've had requests for advanced xvid options for over a year now, so I wo...

. *HandBrake Mac developers might want to consider using OpenCLI code in versions of HandBrake that are released after the next Mac Pro is out--so long as it doesn't break compatibility. (Maybe a resource fork?) Uhm; Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here :wink: I am the first to admit...
