HandBrake

FINALLY!

Alright, that seems to resolve the issue. Weird. I'll let you know if I run into this problem using 48k...

Sorry! That really wasn't my intention. So I found some further information . . . when I encoded something yesterday, I didn't have that problem. I think the only major difference in the encode is that it didn't have multiple audio tracks. Here's the log. HandBrake Activity Log for /Users/user/Deskt...

Can anyone help? This is really frustrating.

oops. See above.

Actually, I tried a few encodes this morning and that doesn't seem to be fixing the issue. I set the framerate to 23.98 on each of them, but they still came out weird. Mexico 2 for instance, ends at 1:53:44 when the actual end of the encode appears to be at 1:44:30.

Oddly enough, this worked. Thanks!

Still wish I didn't have to manually set the framerate though. What if I pick the wrong one?

All the movies I encode with 0.9.3 seem to have a weird error at the very end. After the credits, it's blank for a few more minutes. Trying to skip through this part using the progress bar (in quicktime or iTunes, for instance) yeilds strange results. It'll usually continue showing the frame I was a...

Ok, I get that, but I don't want 2500kbps. I want a much higher bitrate for my encodes. On 0.9.1, I could get away with 5000. I decided with 0.9.2 to move down to 4000kbps because of the additional space needed for 5.1. How can I make an encode work without stutters on AppleTV at about 4000k?

Thanks in advance for your help. I don't think there's any vbv-maxrate or vbv-bufsize specifications in my advanced options tab. What should I set them to to prevent stuttering.

Also, I clicked the AppleTV preset, and then got rid of anamorphic and changed the bitrate from 2500 to 4000.

So how do I eliminate those bitrate spikes?

I'm getting a lot of stuttering from my new DVD rips on AppleTV. I'm using: 4000kbps 720x400 Non-Anamorphic No Deinterlace Current Framerate AC3+AAC Even when the videos are synced to AppleTV, it seems like high action scenes are really suffering upon playback. They stutter and jerk a bit, although ...

Any progress here?

No, it should work just fine. Make sure you have all the settings correct. I have several videos that size on my ipod.

It would be nice if when you selected h.264, the ipod compliant profile was automatically selected by default instead of the main profile. I would imagine most people using h.264 want to make an ipod compatible mp4. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to change that, and then my mp4 doesn...

That's just video. I had my audio set to 128kbps stereo. 1775 is the absolute highest I could get it to go and still transfer to the ipod.

Apple says the maximum bitrate for a 640x480 h.264 is 1500. I beg to differ. I went to reencode a few episodes of a show . . . I had used MediaFork's current framerate, which ripped the epsidoes at 23.98 fps. The episodes came out a little bit choppy, so I went back in and set it to 29.97. I wanted ...

I'm ripping at a pretty steady average of 17 frames per second when encoding two pass h.264.
