Re: No Luck Including Subtitles on the Mac
You can also use a program like subrip (windows program ie: use bootcamp/virtual pc/parallels/vmware to run it, but this is probably pointless, many srt files can just be downloaded)to turn the vobsubs from the dvd into text (srt) which can be included into an mp4 file as an optional subtitle stream...

Re: Handbrake : normal and high profile
Why: Some kind of compatibility issue between high-profile and the ps3 (a guess)
You can search the devices section of the forum for ps3 settings.

Re: xp pro on 4100 inspiron installation of handbrake
Assuming your .div files play in VLC, handbrake should be able to convert them. I've had no issues with handbrake on my xp pro system before, xp pro is basically the same as xp home. Cost you again? What does that mean? Handbrake costs no money, as for time or something, you mention no problems whic...

Re: Idiot needs help with Audio
It all depends on what audio tracks are present in your source, there is no single answer. Use the preview window to help or get a dvd ripping program with a live preview to help you pick (DVD Fab does this, I'm sure others do as well). AC3/5.1 or DTS/5.1 are almost exclusively the main audio track ...

Re: Any tips for dpl2 mixes?
The Dolby Pro-Logic 2 mixdown is capable of limited 'mixup', while a regular stereo source is not. If you plan on never using it with another device, there is little point including an AAC track and AC3 track in your files, an AAC track I suppose can be muxed in at a later date based on the AC3 trac...

Re: Advice on Presets
2x longer? Yes, that's normal 300mb larger? possibly, high-profile does turn on ac3 pass-through, so if you have a really big ac3 audio file, it can really bump up the resulting video size, however that on its own seems unlikely, unless the video you encoded is just perfectly suited to the settings ...

Re: Handbrake : normal and high profile
high profile turns on more whiz-bangs in x264 which make the encoding take longer, but the file sizes are smaller. High profile videos are less compatible with some portable devices (especially old ones) and low-powered computers/players. Constant quality does what it says ... it keeps the same qual...

Re: Know whether movie has subtitles before encoding?
Uhhh ..... handbrake 0.9.4 supports softsubs in mp4 containers (srt files), those aren't burned in. Good players (VLC) and even quicktime work with them.
You're taking vobsubs I assume? well, those aren't the only kind of subtitle out there.

Re: Audio downsampling...
No, automatic means different things depending on the context of how it is being used. If source is automatic, it picks the primary audio track. If mixdown is automatic, it picks the best mixdown setting for the source.

Re: Srt Char Code?
Srt char code is for telling handbrake what character encoding format the subtitle file (srt) contains the subtitles in. It's probably UTF-16 (aka: UCS-2 Little Endian).

Re: convert to play on DVD players
standalone dvd player accepts dvd files (video_ts)
fancier ones might accept mpeg2 (.mpg extension), mpeg1 (looks like crap), divx (.avi, usually more expensive), cda (cd audio, aka: wav files), vcd, svcd and jpeg.

Re: hb fails on encoding at the very start.
Looks like you are trying to rip a copy-protected video.
Handbrake for windows can't do that. You need a program like AnyDVD, DVDFab, etc. to decrypt the dvd first.

Re: New user looking for good DVD conversion settings
Strict encodes the video in the exact resolution as the input source, and does not "pad" it with extra data to make it divisible by 16 (and therefore faster to encode). If this does not matter to you, leave it on loose (the default setting for high profile). You can't throttle the cpu usag...

Re: Large difference in size for encoded movies
Fantasia isn't exactly a simple cartoon or cheaply produced anime. I'd go with weak and see if it gives the result you are looking for, if not bump it up to medium.

Re: Encoded Movie won't play back with MPC-HC, WILL with VLC
I had noticed that, it has accents in it, subrip saved it in unicode instead of ansi, and when it says unicode, it really means UTF-16.
It kind-of works sometimes.
Thanks.

Because there may be noise from the original source which was not cleaned up when they made the DVD transfer of it.

Re: Ripped, but replay is garbled/pixelated
It took only the first of the episodes because each episode is listed as a separate "title"
So you need to encode each "title" on its own (the queue is useful for this).
