Re: Sometimes title changes between HandBrake versions for same discs?

I wrote myself a script, too now. Luckily I found some old logfiles, so the script parses the logfile for the mpls that was encoded last time, then compares this with the new ones that need to be scanned again, yes. Unfortunately then I discovered, there were different but identical mpls files used ...

Yes, it's a blu-ray.

Too bad, but thanks for the confirmation.

Sometimes title changes between HandBrake versions for same discs?

I scripted some of my encoding processes using HandBrakeCLI and recently noticed that when re-encoding a disc I already encoded before, the title I used that time changed in the latest HandBrake version. I needed to re-scan the disc, find out the new title and use the new one instead. (I think it wa...

Re: Different file sizes in same encodings on same machine?

I just did some tests and encoded chapter 12 three times and then chapter 1 two times (just added -c12 resp. -c1 to the command line) All the respective files were identical. (I did a "mkvextract tracks test.mkv 0:test.x264" and compared those files using "diff".) Maybe the diffe...

Re: Different file sizes in same encodings on same machine?

As far as I see the only relevant difference is in this line: [19:20:00] mux: track 0, 139205 frames, 6800437243 bytes, 9370.07 kbps, fifo 512 [22:12:01] mux: track 0, 139205 frames, 6800436109 bytes, 9370.07 kbps, fifo 512 Comparing with further logs I see that it is always this line, i.e. track 0....

Re: Different file sizes in same encodings on same machine?

Another log: https://pastebin.com/tgZRQ0VL

As I said it did not happen with my other CPU. Would there be a way to create completely identical video files? (not counting meta-data of course)

Different file sizes in same encodings on same machine?

Description of problem or question: Not really a problem (I hope) but I would like clarity about this: After encoding the same video with the same command line execution on the same machine (Intel Core i7-12700) with the same HandBrake version the resulting file sizes slightly differ every time. Th...

Re: libdvdread configure error

I got the same error and managed to solve it with the help of j45 (Thanks!). If this is helpful to anyone: On Debian the 'libtool' package only includes the command 'libtoolize'. The additional package 'libtool-bin' is required which includes the command 'libtool'. After I installed the package, the...

Screen resolution in PGS subtitles

Hi, I recently encoded a 4:3 movie which was encoded in widescreen (1920x1080). Of course I cropped the black bars left and right to get its original aspect ratio again. The problem is now, that the passthroughed PGS subtitles are positioned too much to the right, i.e. at the centered position of th...

Re: Squeezed subtitles after cropping

I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to be that related to HandBrake internals. I found the log and it has a lot of unrelated information from scanning other images in it, so I try to paste only the relevant lines here. If something is missing let me know. I am using Handbrake Version: rev4531 (201203249...

Squeezed subtitles after cropping

Hi, I now searched for this for some time but cannot find anything about this. (Am I the first one to have this problem?) After encoding a video and cropping the black bars up and down the display aspect ratio is changed of course. But (at least with vlc and mplayer) the display aspect ratio of the ...

Re: Encoding full title without automatic jumping

I just tried deactivating "Use dvdnav (instead of libdvdread)" in the preferences and tried again. It seems it worked! Now I got the full title. Maybe someone else will find this helpful.

Encoding full title without automatic jumping

Re: GUI: Extended subtitle information

Another problem with the existing implementation is, that you cannot determine forced subs of a subtitle X if there is no audio track available in language X. I could imagine a parameter for the CLI, which just scans all subtitles of a given track. As I see the code to scan a specific subtitle langu...

Re: GUI: Extended subtitle information

Foreign Audio Search will scan all subtitles matching the language of the first output audio track. If you want to include forced subtitles in multiple languages you'll have to determine the correct tracks and select them manually. Hi Rodeo, thanks for the explanation, now I understand the behaviou...

Re: GUI: Extended subtitle information

Hello, I also want to add to this, that I am confused on how to use the "Foreign Audio Search" feature correctly. As far as I tried only the first(?) subtitle track is scanned in my cases. But I usually want to copy subtitles in two languages, i.e. english+english forced (if available)+ger...

E.g. something like this: + chapters: + 1: cells 0->0, 195430 blocks, duration 00:08:43 + 2: cells 1->1, 303314 blocks, duration 00:13:21 + 3: cells 2->2, 275916 blocks, duration 00:11:59 + 4: cells 3->3, 338318 blocks, durat...

Re: Feature-Request: ability to specify Vorbis by "-q", not kbps

Thanks for the quick answer.

Well I do not need the Presets and just work with the CLI, therefore a partly implemented feature which can at first just be used there would be fine for me.

But I will look at the code, maybe I will manage a quick-and-dirty hack for myself... (unlikely)

Re: Feature-Request: ability to specify Vorbis by "-q", not kbps

Hi,

is this still not possible?
I would like to have this possibility, too. Or is there any workaround?


Thanks.
