Re: Upgrading from Version 1.0.7 to 1.2.2 disables intel quick sync

My reply's a bit late, but this may help. I recently reinstalled Windows 10 on my i7 2600K system (Sandy Bridge, 2nd gen) HD3000 graphics system. Windows installs a compatibility graphics driver, because I don't think it's officially supported by Intel anymore for Windows 10. After the reinstall, Ha...

Re: Handbreak uses 90% of CPU

When I want to use my computer for other things while also running Handbrake (and not in a big hurry for it to finish quickly), I add "threads=4" under Video -> Extra Options. On my system, this results in Handbrake using about 50% of the CPU, so other applications running are still relati...

Re: Audio settings get reset with each new file

No, it's just whatever the default is before changing any settings. Though I just tried to see if adjusting the audio defaults would make any difference, and it doesn't seem to.

Audio settings get reset with each new file

Going from HandBrake-svn6027_i686-Win_GUI to HandBrake-svn6103_i686-Win_GUI I notice whenever I load a new file, the audio settings get reset back to the default, instead of what they were set to before. With all previous versions, when a new file is loaded, the audio settings that were set previous...

Re: Handbrake starting with a blank screen?

One thing that is different between my two systems, is that on my main system (where it works) I've got both Client & Full versions of .NET 4.0, and on the laptop (where it doesn't work) it just has the Client version of .NET 4.0. Not sure if that makes any difference. Another thing -- this othe...

Re: HandBrake svn3972: Unable to find the preview file

Thanks for the info. I probably should have put this in the Bugs forum. Anyway, I reverted to 0.9.5 for now so I could continue encoding. When I have problems with the audio static bug that's in 0.9.5 I just keep re-encoding until I get a good encode. Sometimes I queue up 2 encodes of the same movie...

HandBrake svn3972: Unable to find the preview file

I had been using 0.9.5 for awhile now, and it had been working well except for an audio static problem that would sometimes happen at the beginning of the encode. I installed the latest nightly build (svn3972 2011050301) on my Windows 7 system to see if it would fix the problem, since there was a re...

Yeah, I've had trouble with this, too. Sometimes during preview encodes, I don't get any audio at all, too. Usually it doesn't happen very often, but lately it seems to have gotten worse for me, with about half of my encodes suffering with the problem and needing to be re-encoded (sometimes several ...

Re: Duration different after remuxing HandBrake encodes

Re: Duration different after remuxing HandBrake encodes

Thanks for checking. The subtitles play in sync in both the original and remuxed versions, and looking at the end of the vobsub idx, it looks ok (the timestamps aren't out of range): timestamp: 01:26:48:203, filepos: 0003c4800 timestamp: 01:26:55:143, filepos: 0003c5000 If I extract the vobsub using...

Re: Duration different after remuxing HandBrake encodes

I think it has something to do with the vobsub subtitle track. If I leave it out when I remux, the duration is correct. I'm not sure why, though.

Duration different after remuxing HandBrake encodes

I've tried remuxing some of my HandBrake 0.9.5 encodes using mkvmerge 4.5.0. For one of my encodes, the duration of the remuxed version is 5 minutes longer than the original (1:37:46 remuxed vs. 1:32:24 original). Both versions play ok with VLC 1.1.7 with no noticeable sync problems, except for the ...

Re: Burst of audio static for lame mp3 audio tracks

Thanks. I've noticed the same thing with mp3 audio during previews occasionally, too (the burst of static). Or sometimes there's no audio at all. It's usually ok during the full encode, though (except this time).

Re: Tearing and distorted images

If I remux the HandBrake output with mkvmerge, the remuxed version does not have the tearing and distortion problem.

Any idea what would cause that with the HandBrake version?

Sometimes I'm noticing tearing and distorted images, usually during the credits of a movie.

The same scenes from the ripped DVD files (ripped using AnyDVD) play fine on VLC ...

At the very beginning of the movie, there's a quick burst of loud audio static/white noise on the mp3 track that was mixed down. There's also an AC3 passthrough track...

Re: 5.1 AC3 or 2.0 AC3 audio track for 2.0 AAC Mixdown

I also keep the original AC3 5.1 track as track #2 when it's available. After going through about 50 DVDs I find a lot of the older ones include...
