HandBrake

512 Kbps is very high for a 2-channel AAC file, some encoders won't even let you request a bitrate that high; for example, in Constrained VBR rate control mode with a 48 kHz sample rate, Apple's encoder is limited to 320 Kbps for 2-channel. Even if you use an encoder that allows for a higher target,...

Even then (when using a more recent version of HandBrake), you have to enable VBV and HRD signaling, and then it just crashes for me. You'll have to use x265 through other means (not HandBrake) if you really want to make use of that feature.

Probably the old x265 in HandBrake 1.3.3 doesn't even have this option anyway.

I think a Vega card is too old for HEVC 10-bit, you need something RDNA-based (RX 5000 or newer). I suspect HandBrake simply does not have the ability to detect this and mistakenly presents the 10-bit encoder as available when it actually isn't.

(1) use "frame-dup=1" (without quotes) in the advanced options box

(2) I'm not sure HandBrake is set up to support the encoder changing a frame's duration, even if the above enables the option, it may mess up A/V sync, you'll have to try and check for yourself

How about this?

In Command Prompt, you can use "dotnet --info" to find out what versions of .NET core are installed

And also the value of the DOTNET_ROOT environment variable.

You could always build it yourself? Sorry, I don't know of anyone making static builds on HB for Linux.

Unlike DVD subtitles, Blu-ray subtitles cannot go in the MP4 container; you must either use the MKV container or burn them in.

Oh, the important stuff is actually written to the standard error stream, you've provided the standard output stream (which only contains progress information).

There's always an M2 Pro Mac mini or a Mac Studio, although the price of the machine clearly offsets much of the money saved on electricity, so if it's a question of budget, I guess a standalone CPU to go in an existing PC is indeed the better choice

Normal output please, not JSON.

Encode log please.

Why are you scaling to 58 x 32 pixels?

The x265 encoder requires at least 64 x 64 pixels, apparently.

It's not possible to resume after quitting the application; too much data in RAM that cannot be serialized. If you really need to pause an encode, then you cannot quit HandBrake, logout or reboot your computer.

And also, please try a snapshot build from https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake-snapshots it has a subtitle-related fix that may help with this.

That being said, I'm pretty sure HandBrake does not support VCD/SVCD folder structures anyway.

HandBrake can open a folder of individual files (each files gets mapped to one title), but ISO image can contain multiple titles, so what you're trying to do won't work (as far as HandBrake is concerned, an ISO image is basically a folder in its own right).

Be aware that if you set a chapter change that does NOT have a full-screen scene change, playback can be screwy. I guess what you mean is if the chapter doesn't coincide with a video keyframe (that's not quite the same thing) :-) Note that as long as you do your chapter changes before encoding with...

The preset's advanced options changed in https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/commit/f81d7da2 to match the other 4K presets added in https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/commit/34bdddea The switch to the 10-bit encoder probably makes little difference overall. "strong-intra-smoothing=0:rect...

VLC on my Windows 11 PC can't play back full range properly, even Windows Media Player can't. It's probably related to the AMD drivers and the hardware decoder. MPV seems more reliable. In the above case it's the opposite though, it's the TV range (i.e. post-HandBrake) that's rendered incorrectly. ...

That's just weird, they both look the same even side by side on my system. Screenshot 2023-03-09 at 05.45.31.png In your case, it looks like VLC is somehow decoding it as though it were full range video (which after HandBrake, it isn't anymore) but that doesn't make sense, it's clearly marked as TV ...

For starters, there is no built-in preset called "4K 60fps" specifically. It would help to know the ***exact*** name of the preset you're using.
