HandBrake

Hi, Guessing this is a no because I dont see it listed in preferences, but hoping maybe there's some workaround or secret method in doing this. Let's say windows is reporting the 'Size' in the file properties as 540mb, or 2.03gb, etc, I want to append that to the new outputted filename. If there's a...

DVDFab is using x264/x265 though. Even their documentation says so. x264 core:161 r3018 db0d417 Syntax: x264 [options] -o outfile infile According to the documentation: https://www.dvdfab.cn/tips/custom-h264-h265-specs.htm?ver=DVDFab%2012 this is exactly the way they want the parameters to be entere...

I tried to encode the file with DVDFab this time. Unfortunately the program kinda sucks. It completely ignores my parameters. [x264 --ref 2 --bframes 0 -o] (not working) [x264 --preset faster -o] <- which should result in 2 ref frames (not working) No matter what parameters I enter, the result will ...

It's not either/or. x264 is an h.264 encoder, period. x264 produces h.264 bitstreams. x264 is not a video format, it's just an encoder among dozens of other h.264 encoders out there. ok I see. The DVDFab documentation states: "Derzeit sind Software, CUDA und Intel Quick Sync sowohl für H.264 a...

While it's "only" semantics: x264 creates H.264 bitstreams, there is no such thing as "h.264 vs. x264"; the case here is "x264 vs. <whatever encoder was used by DVDFab>" where both are h.264 encoders. MediaInfo clearly states: AVC (Advanced Video Codec) so it can only ...

Forget fake-interlaced, the H.264 appears to be progressive. You could try pic-struct=1 instead. And also min-keyint=3:keyint=15 (to match the GOP limits of the other bitstream). Yes it already is progressive. But still same errors after new encoding (ref=2:bframes=0:pic-struct=1:min-keyint=3:keyin...

For hasPocInfo, maybe "fake-interlaced=1" without quotes. Encoded it again with your suggested parameters "ref=2:bframes=0:fake-interlaced=1" (other settings remained the same): Still same error, that wasn't it. -> [extractSPSInfo] 21:06:33-646 hasPocInfo:0 and further down the ...

"ref=2:bframes=0" without quotes in advanced settings box. A little inconvenient but thanks. I wish there was an additional tab "Advanced Settings" inside Handbrake but ok. At least it works this way, I get "CABAC / 2 Ref Frames" after encoding. However while appending...

I've made some further tests and I think I found the problem but not the solution. I encoded the file with different settings but the result has always been the same. Comparing the log files (AviDemux) of the working file with the not working files gives me this: Comparing the log files of AviDemux ...

Are you only re-encoding the second file? Depending on what AviDemux is looking for it'll probably be easier/necessary to re-encode both. What's the final output container format? Might be easier to not use AviDemux. Well, the 1st file is only a representation. The truth is, I've got 12 files I wil...

Description of problem or question: Hi there, I want to append a movie to another movie inside AviDemux (which means copy-mode, lossless). Before I can do that, the two files have to be similar, otherwise I will get the error: "Codec or codec settings across cut point do not match. Playback of...

Oh and the best combination/platform to watch movies on still remains in 2023: PC -> (AVR) -> TV/Speakers (in that order) since you are very flexible with that setup. You can easily update a PC (software or hardware) making new codecs playable in the future (either video or audio codecs). But I gues...

"On all platforms that support the codec" is a broad statement. Many platforms support MKVs. Many platforms support DV. Many platforms support Atmos. It's the combination I am asking about - i.e. What Handbrake settings on which specific platforms are providing Dolby Vision and Atmos? Wel...

On what platform(s)? On all platforms that support the codec. My PC supports it and my Audio/Video-Receiver (AVR) (Denon) supports it. Kodi has a problem to just pass-through the Atmos signal to the AVR but that is a complicated topic for another thread. If your Receiver (or PC) does not support it...

You're moving in the wrong direction - with higher resolution, you can go to higher CQ targets. oh ye you are right, my bad. But since you're going silly overkill at all resolutions, ok fine whatever. Well, that is true. But since I'm putting time and electricity into it I want to do it properly. E...

Well the 2 have different goals. Ok thanks. I'm not deinterlacing often, so I'm lacking experience. But to be frank here, I don't need to become an expert on that subject. I simply don't use it often enough. I was kinda hoping for an easy answer like pick this if you have this and pick that if you ...

Is anyone able to play a DV rip with Atmos? If so, what Handbrake settings are you using and what platform are you playing on? I know, quite a late reply but the answer is: Yes. My recommendations? Encode the video track in HB with settings matching the original material you want to encode (HD; FHD...

Or how about the compromise "EEDI2 Bob"? Best of both or worst of both?

I’m no expert, just understand this stuff. I recommend you use a proper setting for the source that you are converting. Even if you have to make multiple presets for yourself. Ok sounds like the best solution, thanks. I know we are kinda drifitng off of the original topic but is there a guideline o...

That info is not always reliable... Thanks for the insight, pretty interesting to know! So as expert, do you recommend the filters tab as shown above or do you recommend turning deinterlacing / detelecining on or off manually? I can live with an error rate up to 1% :wink: Hope this helps. It does, ...

But it can falsely detect interlacing sometimes. ok I see. So how likely are false detections? Why is HB not reading the media info for the file encoded? In MediaInfo it normally shows: progressive or interlaced and most of the time even the method like top/bottom interlaced etc. So ideal condition...

Description of problem or question: I want to create a profile that suits all my encodings. I don't want to bother with different settings for 480p/1080p/4k / 8,10,12 bit / deinterlaced or not etc. and other stuff, I rather let the program figure it out on its own. My current profile looks like thi...

Description of problem or question: This is just a general question. It seems like it's impossible to auto-select a subtitle as default in the presets (no forced only, no burn in, yes default specifically speaking). To be clear, the correct subtitle track does gets populated after I select the file...

Hello. Please describe what you would like to see added to HandBrake: I would like to see an ' Import ASS/SSA ' button added to HandBrake. Why would you like to see this added: I would like to see this added because of convenience. What version of HandBrake are you currently running: I'm currently r...

Also, why do the 'Subtitles' tab only have 'Import SRT'?
In the future, will there be 'Import ASS/SSA' implemented?
