HandBrake

Switching VLC hardware-accelerated decoding to DVXA fixed the flicker. It was on automatic. NVIDIA doesn't seem to like the extra metadata that passes through because this adjustment isn't needed with my iGPU. Still, to avoid future metadata issues, I'll be sticking to HB 1.5.1. The movies I've enco...

The monitor processes HDR fine with all the older encodes which don't include the extra metadata. I've even encoded one of my movies using the latest version of Handbrake and compared it to an encode of the same movie from a year ago. The older encode plays without the light flicker which also doesn...

Description of problem or question: I have an Asus PG43UQ which is customized to specific HDR settings, but ever since I updated from 1.5.1 to 1.6.0, my monitor flickers when opening the latest HB encode using VLC. I checked the file with MediaInfo and I noticed that it contains additional HDR meta...

Turns out that I only get the error with these settings when I have encodes in queue.

What advanced settings do you recommend for software encoder? I remember an older version of Handbrake having an advanced tab and the advanced commands that I'm using with QSV were suggested to me.

Description of problem or question: I sometimes receive an encode error about some sort of conflict. Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0): 1.6.0 Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update): Win...

I have had a single crash since reverting the BIOS to stock CPU speeds. Honestly, I think it's fast enough for my games and applications. I only wanted to build a fast ITX system that met my needs with little to no overclocking. I only get an extra 10fps with NVENC anyway while encoding 4K video.

Fix your power and cooling. Video cards don't run denoise filters. It's an Asus Z490-I MB with a liquid cooler and a 850W Platinum PSU. All components checkout fine and temps never exceed 70c. The system is stable on auto settings with the power draw not much different than OC. Probably a software ...

I'll need something to take some of the load off the CPU because when I'm converting 4K using a denoise filter, my system becomes unstable though it is auto overclocked. Maybe I'll use stock settings and see how that runs. Some of my 4K videos have plenty of grain which I want to reduce a bit for be...

Seems that the GPU isn't used when I have a filter active. HandBrake 1.5.1 (2022011000) OS: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19044.0 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz Ram: 32129 MB, GPU Information: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 - 31.0.101.2114 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 31.0.15.2756 Screen: 1920x1...

Description of problem or question: The encoding speed of NVENC is almost identical to QuickSync and my GPU is barely active while the CPU is running at full just as it does with QuickSync. Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0): 1.5.1 Operating system and v...

I was using QuickSync for my videos but found it too slow so I purchased a 3060 thinking that I could use a capable GPU to encode at faster speeds, but it seems that Handbrake doesn't use discrete graphics at all because the encode speeds are almost identical. Even with NVEC selected, there's no cha...

Thank you. I've tried encoding a video multiple times, and it seems to stop compressing the size at a certain point depending on the video. That's why I enquired about it having some kind of image grading algorithm.

If I were to encode a video at QP 15, and then encode it again at the same value, would the quality of the video degrade each time it's encoded or will it maintain said quality no matter how many encodes are performed? Thank you!

Problem seems to only exist with the Intel QSV feature.

Description of problem or question: When I create a preset for my videos, it saves everything except for framerate. This option always loads as 'same as source'. This problem only exists with customized settings. If I build the new preset from built-in preset, the option sets. Unfortunately there i...

Description of problem or question: When I downmix a 5.1 or 7.1 video, the audio channels become unbalanced. For example, audio that would normally play out of both front speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 configuration, would be more pronounced in the right speaker than the left after the downmix. Steps to ...

I've decided to return to the previous version anyway. 1.1.1 frequently locks my entire computer with either codec.

Using the official release, I disabled the video decode settings in the options and the problem is gone. Even the pink screen flashes that would appear at the beginning of the encodes are gone. Thanks!

Description of problem or question: Whenever I convert a video to h.264, there is distortion every 2 seconds. This doesn't seem to affect source videos which are encoded in VC-1. This never happened for me using the previous version. Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): HandBrake version...

How do I access the quality settings? I'm trying to achieve maximum compression while retaining the best possible quality.

I'm trying to recreate these x.264 settings using h.264 QSV, but I'm not exactly sure which settings and values to use. Any help?

I was able to correct the levels of the affected files using the H264 Level Editor and the H264 Online Calculator. The calculator seems accurate based on comparisons with unaffected files.

Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible: I created a user profile using the advanced tab, but no matter which film I encode, the auto profile selection is always the same. This was not a problem with previous versions. I've been told that the level won't affect the encoding, but i...

Some help. All that typing for nothing. I think I'll look for something else that actually works with better support.

I want to re-encode mkv movies that are in 5.1 but when I do it, HandBrake turns the audio into stereo. How do a correct this? Thanks!
