Re: Latest Debian version?

Looks like it is in Debian experimental now too: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/handbrake

Edit: and that is being synced to Ubuntu universe (eek?)

The www.deb-multimedia.org repo maintains handbrake for debian. Ex:

Re: Restrict Handbrake number of cores?

The best you can do perhaps is to change the niceness to the lowest priority.

After handbrake starts, make a note of the PID and then do something like this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo renice -n -19 31238
31238 (process ID) old priority 0, new priority -19

rename linux binaries

Would the handbrake team consider renaming the Linux executable from

'ghb'

to

handbrake-gtk ?

And like-wise change the command line handbrake from 'HandBrakeCLI' to:

handbrake-cli

?

Re: possible to get Lame (ideally VBR) audio, and for mp4 too?

Re: Performance not as good as expected with Core i5-750

There are a zillion options with x264. It is overly complicated IMO. So without knowing what options that Benchmark HD encoder is doing, what version of x264 they are using, how it was compiled, etc. even the slightest different x264 options will show a difference and not be a fair comparison.

^That G5 version is for OS X. Not Linux. :)

I've used Handbrake for several versions now under PowerPC Linux. It compiles from source and runs great as normal. It is smp aware if you have a dual core machine.

x264 takes advantage of the altivec goodness. The new gtk Linux GUI works also.

http://www.geekpatrol.ca/2006/11/playst ... rformance/

Geekbench has showed the PS3 performs like a single CPU Powermac G5, with no cell optimizations. It's a 64bit chip @ 3.2Ghz, which can do all of the altivec stuff also.

This is perhaps a question for the x264-dev list ?

Extract the contents, then change to the bin directory. There you can do this:

Code: Select all

./HandBrakeGTK.exe
and it will start. You'll have to have mono and gtk-sharp packages installed for your distro.
