HandBrake

people with netbooks know their computers are slow. btw netbooks don't have a dvd drive either. very few of them will be ripping dvds via an external drive. you already see people with powerful computers whine why the latest build dropped by 1fps. I doubt netbook users would be any more whinny that ...

well i'm not encoding dvds.
just family videos max 2 min long in MotionJpeg format. they are like 50MB or so and would love to shrink them down.

Even with a slow processor i can still convert 2 min of videos.
so please reconsider making changes to the UI to fit netbook resolutions.

Thankyou

Almost all netbooks have a max resolution of 1024x600, but handbrake requires 1024x720 or greater. what are my options
Windows SVN version
Acer Aspire One

Thanks that worked fine.
Will I have to do this everytime i do a checkout, or i can just do "svn up" from here on.

Now that the new version of Flash supports H.264/AAC licensed from MainConcept. Can we have a preset for Adobe flash player. Just for reference, Adobe flash supports Base, Main, High and High 10 profiles. for more info, here is the flash engineer Tunic Uro's blog post http://www.kaourantin.net/2007/...

here is another product that does the same thing as elgato one.
its $79

I guess i can PM u guys the compiled file.
if no one will object to it

I have been told by Apple that if it will play in Front Row, it will play on Apple TV. All Apple TV is is Front Row modified for TV. That is so not true. cause Frontrow can play anything that quicktime can play. u just install the respective codecs. I watch my xvid movies in frontrow. but you will ...

the default should be 65% instead of 50%
most people usually don't change the defaults or don't know what to use.

H.264 is better quality at same size of Mpeg4
or same quality at smaller size. u can take mpeg 4 and cut it by ~40% in size and get same quality H.264.

H.264 is CPU hungry codec. on an ipod it will drain ur battery faster than Mpeg4.

i'm assuming u don't have an intel mac.
yes Zune software can transcode H.264

how do u know popcorn uses 5 pass
Popcorn does support H.264. It says right on the website

Save disc space - convert video into compressed formats - DivX, MPEG4, H.264

Doesn't XBOX stream content from media center. As long as u have on the fly transcoding u can play anything on xbox. The reason x264 doesn't work on xbox is because media center doesn't know how to transcode it. U need a plugin called TVersity (http://tversity.com/screenshots/). that will convert ur...

how to tell if the source is interlaced or not
DVD are progressives
Digital Cameras ?

In the Preferences u have to select the ipod/itunes friendly option Second u have to decide if u want ipod or not if u want ipod there is a setting in the preferences to scale ipod rez Third use x264 main or ipod version, Mpeg4 will work. recommended u use x264 recommended u use 2 pass encoding reco...

someone on doom9 forum is doing just that, I believe he had a command line thingy to do it.

U should search doom9 forum for it

there is no opensource encoder for VC1 yet. FFmpeg can only decode VC1, as far as i know. So u won't be seeing DVD to Zune for a very long time on the mac

u will have to look at windows for a solution.http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-to-zune-converter.html

How do you define "when it is needed" given that keyframes are generally pragmatically used to control seek time forward/back during presentation? People have their own ideas about how much 'skip' they prefer (especially versus file size waste). Rodney what are u talking about key frame i...

ghosh, does it make my fast motion blocky? If yes then i don't want it. If no then i want it. @hackman. thats true all those rips are XVID. so according to u, crf in H.264 won't mess my fast motion scenes, so for a scene with a car blowing up. I will be able to see the cars parts blowing up (if it e...

i have seen rips where a fast motion is blocky and normal motion is non blocky. Is that what CRF does. mess up my high motion frames by lowering quality. that is very annoying. i can for a split second see lot of blocks, and then they go away. If that is what CRF is doing then I'm disabling it. that...

how about Automatic keyframe
use when it is needed.

Sorenson Squeeze and Apple Quicktime allow u that option

when u place it inside dock it gets too small because of the fork shrinking it

otherwise its a good looking icon

opening the file with .m4v automatically imports it to iTunes
Movies are put in Movies folder and TV Shows are put in iTunes/TVShows folder
PLus TV shows have an Album meta tag, and Movies Don't. I guess thats how it knows if its a movie or TVShow
