Re: 4K Encoding Question

Also if you're going to use x265 preset fast you may as well use preset veryfast.

Re: Cinematic aspect ratio

Crop the appropriate number of pixels off the top and bottom for your resolution. Could save a preset to do that.

Re: new here; video edges cropped in output

In the encode log provided, no cropping was done in HB.

Re: No ÆØÅ æøå in the Norwegian subtitles...

I'd make efforts to understand the file you have/are providing, rather than just shotgunning every option.

Re: Subtitles on multiple video files in queue

Save a preset with the subtitle behavior you want, then use that preset for all the files.

Re: Low performance with NVenc

For the frame rate, choose 60 or same as source, not 30.

Re: Low performance with NVenc

The frame rate is curiously high... what if you choose same as source or 60 fps, still with peak/variable framerate, instead of forcing it down to 30.

Re: Some x265 presets aren't working as intended

Oh, it's missing on rate control by a lot given how short the content is and how high the QPs are. The encode looks worse because it's a third smaller.

For non-stillimage HD video in the 300 kbps range, you may be better off targeting like RF 50 rather than a specific bitrate.

Re: Some x265 presets aren't working as intended

The turbo first pass just skips a bunch of options that are slow and typically don't make a difference.

For trying something with extremely low bitrates, I'd leave it off, you want all the encode options applied to the first pass.

What if you try non-optimized defaults. Like default defaults. Vanilla. No optimization.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

Can you post the encoding log from when you tried threads=1? There will be some CPU usage other than the video encoder but I wouldn't expect to use all cores on an i9.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

In preferences, enable the advanced options box for video encoders.

On the video tab, put threads=1 in that box.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

No, I mean in the video encoder advanced settings, since you're using x264 use threads=1.

Simultaneous encodes should also be set to 1 given your instability issues.

Have you tried limiting the encoder threads in the current release? Perhaps even start at 1.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

The mystery error -12 has been around since they separated the encoding process from the gui.

You can try limiting encoder threads to try to work around your hardware problem; try threads=8 and experiment higher or lower from there.

I disagree, transcoding has no effect on the physical disk.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

The fix needs to come from Intel/Gigabyte, not HB. HB can't (intentionally) make your computer suddenly reboot.

Here's a story about the broader 13/14th gen Intel stability issues and workarounds.

It's a pretty new machine - only about a month old - but has been working great up to now. There is no overclocking or any other tweaking.
