HandBrake

OK - I found the problem when trying to clone my old hard drive to a bigger hard drive. My old hard drive has some bad sectors and the last two MKVs I copied on to it both span some bad sectors which resulted in a read error during encoding - that is why my other PC was able to encode them fine beca...

What if you use the same version of Handbrake? May be a regression issue, not sure why you keep trying to pin it on the number of cores. Running just 2 threads could eliminate that as a possibility. Both 0.9.4 and SVN3036 don't work on my quad core so I have tried the same versions. I will set the ...

I tried the same settings on my quad core and it fails again - so there is definitely some issue with encoding on the quad core: ### CLI Query: -i "D:\Video\BluRay\2012.m2ts" -t 1 -c 1 -o "D:\Video\2012.m4v" -f mp4 -4 -X 640 -l 272 -e x264 -q 20 -a 1,1 -E faac,ac3 -6 dpl2,auto -R...

I have taken the Apple TV preset and reduced to 640 pixels and it works fine with these settings on the dual core PC. I will try these same exact settings on the quad core and see if it now works. It may be some issue with the preset I was using which was originally created with an older version of ...

I tried the same file on another PC which was dual core rather than quad core and it worked fine - is there a bug with quad core encoding? ### CLI Query: -i "C:\Users\Public\Video\BluRay\2012.m2ts" -t 1 -c 1 -o "C:\Users\Public\Video\2012.m4v" -f mp4 -I -X 640 -l 272 -e x264 -b 7...

I've just tried converting another HD video and I get exactly the same problem: ### CLI Query: -i "D:\Video\BluRay\2012.m2ts" -t 1 -c 1 -o "D:\Video\2012.m4v" -f mp4 -X 640 -l 272 -e x264 -q 20 -a 1,1 -E faac,ac3 -6 dpl2,auto -R 48,Auto -B 160,auto -D 0.0,0.0 -x cabac=0:ref=2:me=...

Yes it plays fine all the way through in WMP12 (with CCCP).

Could be but this video file plays fine from start to end on my WDTV Live. Just wondering if there is anything that can be done to ignore whatever this error is or is there a way to display more detail on this error?

I am trying to convert a fairly high bitrate HD video file and I keep getting the following error at the same point about half way through encoding: MP4ERROR: MP4WriteBytes: Unknown error There is plenty of space on the disc (>50GB) and I have tried outputting the video file to three different disks...

OK - I found a solution - I installed the CCCP codec package and WMP12 now works fine with audio:

If I remove the AC3 audio track in Handbrake and re-encode it just with AAC then WMP12 plays it fine so I want to remove the AC3 audio track without re-encoding every video - or any other solution welcome.

- Simon.

I have recently encoded a large number of videos using a preset with two audio tracks including AC3 passthough. At the time I didn't realise that this would cause a problem with WMP12 on Windows 7 (I get no audio output). Is there a solution to this - I tried installed ac3filter 1.63 but this didn't...

If I convert a DVD VOB using the latest snapshot of Handbrake and I have two audio tracks - the first is AAC stereo mixdown and the second is AC3 passthrough - then I get no sound with Windows Media Player 12 (this is on Windows 7). The converted video file plays fine in VLC with full audio but noth...

I am trying to convert an MKV HD video to a lower resolution. The video converts fine but the audio has glitches every 5 seconds or so. The original plays in VLC fine but the converted file has these glitches or dropouts on both VLC and an Apple iPod Touch. I am using the third audio track in the fi...

Also the WDTV will only play videos with .mp4 file extension - you can't play .m4v files.

I had a similar problem - the GUI is actually specifying the maximum width and height so if you want to change the aspect ratio I was advised to turn on the query editor and change the -X to -w. I keep the aspect ratio button selected but just override the width and height options. http://forum.hand...

Thanks - I was able to override the width setting to get the correct output. I still have an issue with syncing to my iPod Classic 80GB - my other video files will sync but not this one. I enclose my logs - I am using the Universal preset modified to 640 width. [20:05:05] hb_init: checking cpu count...

I have a few DVD rips which are 16:9 but seem to be recognised by Handbrake as aspect ratio 2.37 (rather than 1.78). I want the width to be 640 but to output as a 16:9 aspect ratio so I deselect the "Keep Aspect Ratio" button and change the height from 272 to 384. However the produced .m4v...

Yes this exe now scans the VOB correctly - it looks like the VOB aspect ratio may be incorrect in the file - it is coming up as 2.37 rather than 1.78 which means setting the height pixels manually - I don't know if that accounts for the issue you had to fix. I have noticed another glitch with some M...

The error occurs with Anamorphic set to None rather than Loose. It will scan correctly when set to Loose but if I change to None then I get the unhandled exception - luckily this resulted in a dialog box where I could copy the full error message: See the end of this message for details on invoking j...

I am trying to use Handbrake svn 2773 to re-encode my library of ripped VOB files and they mostly work great apart from a few which have a problem scanning - when Handbrake tries to scan the VOB file it throws an exception: frmMain.cs - updateUIafterScan System.OverflowException: Value was either to...
