Re: Star Trek Into Darkness

I ran into a similar problem with the U.S. version last night. We're running Ubuntu & Mint Linux, not Windows. The correct title is #60. All Handbrake can see (tried it on two different computers) is a handful of tracks. 96 thru 99, or something like that.

Re: Killing Them Softly

I just wanted to post back with the rest of the story. Over the course of the next few weeks I tried to encode two more DVD's. They both failed, but the failures weren't the same. One time Handbrake said it couldn't find the destination folder. The other time Handbrake could only identify 9 of the 9...

You guys want them just tossed on here, right? Not wrapped in the code window? See those "mpeg2 tag botch" messages? There were thousands and thousands of them, so I deleted most, keeping just a couple on either side of any lines of text that weren't about botched tags. Handbrake Version: ...

Re: Killing Them Softly

Oh, I'm sorry, I should have included some basic info. I'm using an HP dc7800, running Lubuntu. This PC is used almost exclusively for Handbrake encodes once or twice a week. I'm not an expert on Handbrake settings, but have some seat time with it and never seen anything like what happened with this...

Killing Them Softly

Has anyone tried encoding the above movie? Brad Pitt's in it. I tried twice. Handbrake's preview window looks all pixelated and blotchy, like a badly scratched disc, instead of giving the usual view of a frame partway into the movie. I ran the encode anyway. The resulting .mkv played fine for a few ...

Re: Laptop with Ubuntu 11.10 Shutting Down at 50% Encoding

I mentioned using a laptop for Handbrake a year or two ago on these forums. Some of the folks here warned I could burn the poor thing up. So I quit using the lappy. If you have no alternative, at least raise the laptop up on some wood blocks and stick a small fan underneath (it'll also have to be ra...

I ran into some confusion on this issue, so I'm posting a guide. Even then, there's a part in here that I'm not sure about. I'll explain that when we get there. So, first off, I'll assume you have a home theater. Put the DVD into your home theater player and get to the main feature. Your remote shou...

Re: Salt failing to rip

Sorry, Rodeo -
I was in a hurry. We played the movie on our home theater DVD player. When we finally got to the movie, the player said the main title was number 14 out of 95.

Re: Salt failing to rip

I got to 90 of 95. Our DVD player said the main title was 14 (95). Have two PC's, one running Ubuntu 9.04 & the other running 10.04. Both behaved identically. Stalled at 90 indefinitely.

Hey, guys, thanks very much for the help. I grabbed a DVD off the shelf and fired up Handbrake. The only thing I did different was to highlight the AAC track and click the "minus" sign. The AAC track disappeared. Did the rip. Saved to external. Started up WD Live, got Dolby Digital. So I'v...

Thanks for the reply. I went immediately to your trac link. It's just that I don't understand how to access the encode log. If I got to my home folder, there's nothing - wait, wait, back up the truck. This is a good indication of my Linux-fu or lack thereof. A faint bit of data rattled to the fronta...

Re: Popular playback devices

I bought a WD TV Live at our local Staples a day ago. They were on the clearance table. $54. I'm almost ecstatic. It plays .mkv's ripped at the Handbrake High Profile default settings. Our ancient Onkyo receiver picks up the audio Toslink as Dolby Digital. That's a big plus for two reasons. Obvious ...

Re: Chapters are scrambled

If you fire up Handbrake and it sees 99 titles, that appears to be a sure sign you've run into this relatively recent roadblock.

I'm embarrassed to admit I asked about it in the *nix forum without doing my homework.
