HandBrake

Ok got the impression that was the case from some pages i had read.
EDIT:
Ok just read the wiki for MP4 and see what you mean. Didn't realize so many different streams were supported. I stand corrected.

Hey Been a while since i have posted but i haven't seen so much speculation on a thread in a while. I have a PS3, use it as a media centre and can say the universal preset encodes i have work fine. The PS3 just plays the AAC audio. All this stuff about AC3 gumming the works is a little off. The PS3 ...

Ok so tested a few things the PS3 accepts the MP4/m4v but i cant find a way of selecting the second audio format from the menu. I use Cabac on my PS3 and it plays great. it can also use high profile H.264 according the specs. I haven't tried it as it takes ages. on another note i made a mistake on m...

Questions i can answer anamorphic encoding works out of the box user created content is playable without any kind of hacking as for getting content onto the PS3, there are several options. you can use a dvd, stream if you have a compatible program or device.(UPnP works), or an external HD or thumbdr...

I have had this with one of my movies on the PS3. Batman Begins

don't know hat causes it. Plays fine on my mac.

Ill have to test more of my movies to see if more have the problem.

Hi so i just noticed in the new Apple TV preset that CABAC Entropy (cabac) has been removed. The Wiki explains why this has been done (very well put together guide by the way). How badly does this setting actually effect the Apple TV. The reason im asking is that I currently use a PS3 but have start...

If thats the case why is it in a preset that uses Average bitrate?

Hi there

Just tried to play the web clip and it will not play. just the quicktime with a ?.

If VLC can play it see what information it can give you as to the format of both video and Audio.

Edit:
when i tried to download the mp4 safari says there is no information at the other end.

Hey So this new addition seems to work fine on the PS3 and according to Itunes the ATV. also the new setting seems to have better picture quality than the previous one. but might just be me wanting the best from the new. Again ill ask, if anyone has an apple TV could they check a chapter using this ...

Hey
Your correct. it seems to be a new addition thats not in the wiki. I shall make a new preset and see if it has any effect on PS3 playback.

Thanks for letting me know, ill post back asap

Might be worth adapting the command line so you have PS3 and ATV compatible if your not sure which way to go. Thats what i do. take a look at. http://handbrake.m0k.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2315 i have to say though it seems to slow the encode down(new SVN should speed that up) and i need to test it...

Hey I also have limited knowledge of the IFO but from the docs you seem to be onto the right path. SPRM 19- preferred sub-picture language extension- also has a forced option of 9=forced not sure if that is more optional and it doesn't say bit0-bit5 which looks important. so from the look of that it...

take a look at this and see if it helps

Thanks for heads up for mummy films

Hey If you switch on the PS3 preset and then click 2 pass it wipes the special commands to the encoder. to check these are active simply go to preferences and select " show chosen x264 advanced settings in main window" this will show you if the important "level=41" is there. Youl...

Ive got a PS3 and have got it to work. Ive mainly been using an adapted h.264 string for ATV and PS3 compatibility. so far its worked level=41:bframes=3:ref=1:subme=5:me=umh:no-fast-pskip=1:no-dct-decimate=1:trellis=2 (PS3+ATV strings joined together) if you already know this then sorry but you may ...

In an attempt to help more forced subtitles examples the Mummy (1999) seems to have them missed. Although that was a single pass so Im going to try 2 pass and see if that helps. Mummy returns has them and they show up in handbrake, that was a 2 pass rip (hence reason above), but look as if they were...

As no one had time I found a way to test a movies compatibility

Added it to Itunes and asked it to convert to Appletv

Itunes responded by saying it could not because the file was already in the correct format.

problem solved
Hope that helps some people

Hey Thanks for looking In From doing some searching this topic has been covered a bit already, however was never really tested or confirmed. What i want is a setting/preset that will work for both Apple TV and the PS3. the previous discussion came up with this string level=41:bframes=3:ref=1:subme=5...

Right, now I can see the differences. Universal format sounds like a good idea. We cant be the only people who are thinking about encoding for both. gregoriml: I meant have you tried to play on both systems and see the results. Or do people know that they just dont work on opposite systems. Thanks f...

Hi there Im also interested in this as i plan to get a PS3 and ATV for different rooms. From the look of the settings they are the same, and could just be there so people dont get confused. There maybe some settings in the background that differ though. Can you test the files on both. You may find t...

Hey there

I thought that anamorphic encodes were faster due to the fact you dont have to scale the picture.
Is this increase equaled out by the extra data that has to be encoded?

To a point I think the whole fan fair over this code is a little strange. especially as it will be useless in the event of an update. But for this forum and project we may as well be careful not to bring on the repercussions. From what Ive read, the AACS people and the movie studios are threatening ...

Wow this is cool
loads of my Asian movies are DTS

With this added feature, does this mean we could have two audio tracks?

Hey Just got the latest stuff magazine, one of the best selling gadget mags in the UK and have found a reference to handbrake in an article on Apple TV The two page spread on Apple TV reviews features and compares it to other media streamers. On the side of the page there is a section called where t...
