HandBrake

mduell, you're right, I screwed up.

Rodeo, after doing a lot of testing I think I'm better off just sticking to x264. While I love the fast encoding time and the compression of H265, it just doesn't seem to produce the same quality as what I'm getting with x264.

Cheers both of you.

Happy Holidays and Happy (early) New Years HB folks! I have been using HardBrake for many years now and have always used x264 and generally been very happy with my results. I recently started playing with H265 and I would say the output is VERY close to my x264 outputs but it seems just slightly mor...

Interesting that you point out the modulus setting. I've read a lot of different opinions on that.

That aside, is it normal for a top and bottom to have different values? It would seem to me they should be the same.

Sometimes when I load up a file the automatic cropping will be off by one on either the top or bottom. I trust Handbrake's intelligence but it seems really odd to me. This screen shot will give an example: https://imgur.com/a/qbfp6 Using the example above, what is the proper thing to do here? Should...

I did see that, but it will be set in an open space and out of the way of obstruction. I'm assuming they are built well enough to handle the heat.

Remember that mini-PCs are going to have cooling issues when run at 100% CPU for long periods of time. Their target market is people who need momentary bursts of speed. When you're doing QSV decoding AND encoding, that's not really critical, because the QSV hardware is quite efficient, power-wise. ...

I am looking at picking up a mini PC to do my handbrake transcoding on. I want something small, fast and quiet that I can throw in a corner and forget about. What I have been eyeing so far: Intel® NUC Kit NUC6i5SYK http://ark.intel.com/products/91160/Intel-Core-i5-6260U-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-2_90...

Thank you Nightly!

I use the nightly builds

Ah, ok. I will write down all my settings then for any future changes. Thanks for the info.

Yup, same issue here. Upgraded to svn6783 and my user presets are all gone. I noticed a file called user_presets.xml.archive.4488 (assumingly these are my old presets at my user_presets.xml was no longer there). I recreated one of the presets and it made a new file called user_presets.json. I'm assu...

Still confused on this Blu-ray I have, even if I set the Cropping to Custom and put it all 0's it still only allows me to set the width to 1904.

I've never seen this happen before for anything I've converted. One episode be cropped and not another. This seemed to have just started happening with the last few night builds.

Hi John, I always keep the crop set to Automatic. In the case of the Blu-ray I just tried it show's all zero's. For the DVD (listed above), the first episode that stays at 720 shows Top 4, Left 4, Right 6 and Bottom 0. The third episode that forces to 704 shows Top 0, Left 4, Right 6 and Bottom 0. I...

Amendment, I now see the same problem with Blu-rays. It's defaulting to 1904 and will not let you change it to 1920.

I load up a DVD, let’s say an anime, choose the first episode and it will show the width of 720. I’ll go to the next episode and it will show the width of 720. I’ll choose the third episode and it will show the width of 704. If I try and manually change it to 720 it will revert back to 704? I’m seei...

Thank you Rodeo and JackNF, that's really interesting. I didn't realize there was such an issue. I did watch it, but I watched dubbed (as I was watching it with my girlfriend). I'll fire it up and watch it subbed to see if that's the case.

I've been trying to encode Gamera 3 with the Japanese Audio DTS 5.1 track and for some reason it will not accept it; I end up with a MKV file that has the subtitles but no audio track. It does take the Japanese AC3 track without a problem. I did not have any issues with Gamera 1 or 2 with the DTS tr...

Just fired up svn5893 and no more error! Woot! Thank you Handbrake team!

Ah, gotcha. I will stand by. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm seeing a lot of talk about OpenCL being implemented so I'm guessing my issue is related to it but I want to throw it out there in case anyone else is having the same issue and if there is a fix it can be shared. I'm running Handbrake Nightly builds on a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server t...

Thank you musicvid.

is hard telecined something that you can only see, or is there some way to identify it with MediaInfo?

So far, in the several movies I've used it on, it has worked. I'll keep using it until it doesn't work. I'm happy with what it does this far!

Ah, that makes sense. What about NTSC content? Should I leave it off as well?
