HandBrake

Description of problem or question: How do I create a new preset? Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): The button to add a presest has been removed. HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0): 1.4.1 Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators U...

Description of problem or question: my audio system doesn't handle DTS so I downmix my audio to Dolby Digital 5.1. If I have a choice of DTS7.1 HD-MA or DTS5.1 should I start with the master audio and let handbrake drop the two extra channels? Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): n/a Han...

Yes, that's one of the tradeoffs of the quick hardware encoders, the efficiency (quality for size) is crap.

Thanks for confirming that. I guess I have to stick with 3fps and remain patient.

On average they're the same, CRF just adjusts QP throughout the video depending on whats going on based on a psychovisual model. Other than on average, there's no equivalency. Any idea why CRF isn't available with QSV? If I start with an HEVC profile and just switch to Intel QSV I seem to get files...

Great but I'm still looking for "guidance on what QP setting will approximate the CRF setting". ie, CRF22 = QP___???

Description of problem or question: I'm trying to use the Intel QSV encoder on my laptop to encode x265 video. I'm curious why the quality setting switches from CRF to QP when I move from x265 to QSV. Also, I'm trying to find some guidance on what QP setting will approximate the CRF setting. IE, If...

I know this is two years old but I can't find an answer & I have the exact same question. Encoding a bdrip pretty much ties up my computer for six to eight hours so I'd really rather do it at night.

Is there really no way to set up a queue and get it to start at a scheduled time?

Why use the "6 channel discrete" instead of "dolby surround"?

Thanks.

Much appreciated.

I'll give it a try and see if I can move back to a official/stable release.

Thanks.

OK, well at least this suggests that I'm not doing anything wrong.

BTW, I'm using MediaInfo 0.7.57.

Thanks.

I encode ota recordings that are broadcast at 59.940 frames. To get my encoded file to play back smoothly I've had to encode it at 29.97 frames and I use Peak Frame Rate so that duplicate frames can be discarded. I've noticed that if the source was 1080i I end up with a much smaller file and that it...

I've been using an svn for a while and just noticed there was a release earlier this year. Is there somewhere I can go to find out if the current stable release is newer then this older svn I've been using?

Thanks.

Much appreciated John. I'll sit tight. Safe travels.

John, did you get a chance to look at those files? Were you able to reproduce and then hopefully eliminate the stutter?

Thanks,
Richard

No worries. I hope it works out (selfish jerk that I am).

One suggestion would be to create and supply a short clip that I can use to reproduce the problem and then maybe I can improve our algorithm some more. I did, but here it is again. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16279671/loci.s03e04%20-%20but%20not%20forgotten%20%28archive%29.zip Hopefully you'll reproduc...

Well, my revised opinion after watching a few more episodes is that while I'm happier with the result it really isn't great. I'm still ending up with quite a few duplicate frames (and therefore lost frames too). I hate the idea of going back to 29.97fps but the herky-jerky motion is disappointing. I...

I just watched the first encode of one of these 720p 59fps files and it looks very good. There are a couple of places with handbrake has duplicated a frame (and I'm assuming dropped a good frame) but it's hardly noticeable. I can certainly live with this result and I greatly appreciate the approxima...

John, great result on my three minute test file. I've now queued up a couple of full episodes and I'll encode over night with the SVN. I'll report back once I have a chance to review the result but I'm very hopeful at the moment.

Thanks for the help!
Richard

John, I'm on the official release. I'll have a look at the thread you've referenced and will try the nightly if for no other reason then to have another reference point. I do you hope you get a chance to look at my samples though. Thanks for the help. I'll report back once I look at the nightly. Ric...

Wow, I can't believe I'm bumping a thread that's over two years old! But... I see that nobody had any luck with second samples I put up. I'm still struggling with my quest to find a good solution for these OTA HDTV captures. I had been using ripbot264 but then noticed that sometimes it would give me...

Is there an option in handbrake to passthru the video instead of always transcoding? I'm trying to do two things so that my files can be use on my iPad 1) change the container to m2v, and 2) add the AAC soundtrack. I believe that the video component of my files is compliant for playback on the iPad....

I really would like to keep the 5.1 DTS/AC3 mkv's as the main format for remuxing to the PS3 and/or iPad/iPhone/iPod/iTunes. You will need to include an AAC track as well in your encodes, since the iPad doesn't support either DTS or AC3. For remuxing MKV to MP4, Subler can do it (on Mac). Other Mac...

Is it possible to get handbrake to encode from dvr-ms files? I have recordings of OTA broadcasts that are not DRM encrypted. I want to reencode these into x264 and would like to avoid having to go through the extra step of transcoding into another container before encoding.

Thanks.

Sorry it's been so long seems I've been back here. What I meant by "another from end" is a front end to the x264 encoder. I've been having success encoding these files using ripbot264 and a filter it uses called "decimate". It's worked with everyone of these files & the other...
