HandBrake

OK, so I rebooted my laptop (just 'cause) and then opened HandBrake, loaded the hd_other_avatar_trailer.m2ts file, went to the Filters tab and set everything to "Off," then the Videos tab and changed it to H.264 (Intel QSV) then selected the target file by clicking Browse at the bottom and...

Well, I never put that together at all that such processing could have a negative effect on the overall speed, thanks for pointing that out. I disabled all the filters (no sense in using them really for such purposes, I'm not looking to create cinema-quality encodes obviously) and got this for encod...

Description of problem or question: A very long time ago when I had a first generation Sandy Bridge CPU in an older Dell Latitude laptop, I remember reading about Quick Sync and thinking "Wow, it's about time we had hardware acceleration for encoding h.264, now I wonder how bad the quality wil...

I gave it a shot with two encodes of the same source material: one using gop-pic-size=0 and another using gop-pic-size=256 - that was the only difference between the encodes, that one setting - and I see no visual difference between the two results and the final encodes are exactly the same, literal...

Well obviously I'd like to get better quality from QuickSync encodes of SD/DVD content without increasing the file size, basically, but that seems like a foregone conclusion with my HD 3000. The HD 4000 might offer better support from the SDK/API so I'll have to check into that. I can do reasonably ...

Well duh, as I wasn't paying sufficient attention to what I was doing, when I select the H.264 (Intel QSV) Video Codec option I neglected to note that - because I have it enabled in the options - the Advanced tab shows Advanced Query which is an input box for the command line options - DOH!!! I neve...

Hi there, I'm using HandBrake 0.10.2.7286 64-bit and I had a question about the Intel QuickSync encoding options. It's very fast, obviously, and I'm fine with that on my Latitude E6420 laptop with an Intel i5-2540m CPU (Sandy Bridge generation) which features the Intel HD 3000 GPU. Having said, that...

Howdy... I'm wondering if it's possible to duplicate an encoding profile based upon the encoding settings as pulled from a MediaInfo scan on a given file. I have a video sent to me that looks great, in "SD" resolution basically (720x404) and it looks fine enough to be used on portable devi...

Yah, I spent days doing test encodes of all kinds and I still never got the results I was happy with (but then again, that's a pursuit that should probably just not attempted in the first place). I'd seen that tutorial a few days ago and didn't focus on it specifically as a potential method to creat...

I've spent time doing some searches and never found anything of any significance so, I'm just going to ask outright: does anyone know what general or even specific settings that YouTube uses for HD content (meaning 720p and 1080p) that results in this kind of output from MediaInfo and if so, can you...

I've been utilizing the nightly builds (thanks to those that create them and share 'em) and I noted that in the later/latest builds the "Target Size" option under the Video tab is no longer there as a selectable option. If it's gone forever, I suppose I can deal with that, but my question ...

What I meant by the question is if I use 0.9.3, select High Profile, then select Film (sorry for not making that blatantly clear), it'll show a default of an ABR of 1800 Kbps - so what I'm asking is why 1800 for that particular setting? Was some testing done that discovered a "best" bitrat...

Just curious about that bitrate. I mean, it looks absolutely fantastic, but I'm still rather new to the x264 encoding stuff (after having done Divx/Xvid type encodings for years), so I was wondering how the developers happened upon that specific bitrate for the High Profile setting, if anyone can of...

Ok, scratch that last post, I re-installed the svn 2592 build just for giggles, and now it's working for some reason. Maybe the first time I tried this it was using older files in the same directory, I don't know, but now it's working and I ended up with an MKV file (just did a 1 chapter test encode...

Yes, but in doing so they're burned in permanently even when I deselect Burned in, that's where I'm really having an issue. I pick the English (Bitmap) selection on the drop down list, make sure Burned In says "No" and let it run to completion and I end up with the subs burned in, so again...

Ok, so now that my primary questions were answered, what exactly am I missing with the steps regarding getting the current svn 2592 to actually locate/use/embed the soft sub (an .srt file ripped with VSRip) because that's where I'm currently stuck. I've got the main movie loaded (from a VIDEO_TS fol...

Ooo... and I'm going to make an assumption that the next public snapshot will have the soft subs working? Did I make any sense at all in that post with respect to those? Am I understanding the concept correctly that it'll be a file, like an .srt or whatever, that's included in the container when the...

Not sure if this is the right place for this question/request but, if it's not a Mod will most certainly move it. This is a long post, also... ;) Long time lurker, long time user, now sortakinda stuck with a situation and hoping for assistance. I'm hoping to transcode my considerable retail DVD coll...
