HandBrake

Ist there a way to make a preset for Handbrake which will select all Englsish and German Audio and select AC3 Passthru for it.
Of course if possible.
I am awaiting as input DTS, AC3 from the source, so I want a preset which selects AC3 Passthru instead ob AC3 encoding with bitrate etc.

I use Handbrake to shrink some videos from DVD/Blu-Ray for example. Often I use "Quality" -> "Constant Quality" -> RF Sometimes compression with RF20 is good sometimes not. I do some math to get the MB/s to see the result of the compression. It takes a lot of time to find the cor...

I did some runs, very slow did take a few days when I remember right. Is there no encoding time in the logfile? I did some calculating with the frames and the average fps to get the encoding time. slow-> filesize = 2,43GB slower -> filesize = 2,28 very slow -> filesize = 2,27 How to set merange to 3...

Hi, did some tests with the H.265 codec and Handbrake 0.10.2.7286 I did different runs with same settings, did only change the optimise video settings from ultra fast to slow. Filesize and time which is needed to encode depends on the settings. Here some results from a 91 minute animation video (vid...

Do you only change Video codec from H.264 to H.265 and the Quality to compare your results

Is H.265 ready to use or still for testing and buggy?

Maybe they are not part of the presets, but in version 0.9.8 I could control them exactly with the settings in the presets. ;-) The settings for audio and subtitle in the options of handbrake are nice, but I don't get it to work to select one or the first audio and subtitle of the default language a...

I did a lot of tests with the presets and the options for audio and subtitle in Handbrake. The presets don't work correctly with the version 0.9.9, sorry. Things which worked fine in 0.9.8 won't work now with 0.9.9. Just want to make a preset with two different audio tracks and two different subtitl...

I have created and saved the preset in the GUI.
When I load another DVD structure and load the saved preset the second audio stream ist still the same like the first one and in the preset they are different.

Hi, I have changed to Handbrake 0.9.9 and I miss something like this line in my userpresets.xml <Query> -f mkv --crop 0:0:0:0 --strict-anamorphic -e x264 -q 21 --vfr -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -R Auto -D 0 --gain=0 --subtitle 2,1 --markers="C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Sg1 01-5-5-chapters.c...

I would like it very much if the quality factor could be used to insert in the output filename. {source}-{title}-{quality} Sometimes I encode the same video with different quality factors. Then I have set the values manually into the filename not to loose the overview of the files. movie_q20.mkv mov...

On many DVDs with movies are different audio tracks and sometimes there are more than one in the same language. I want to make a preset which selects for example the first german audiotrack and the first english audiotrack found on the dvd. Is this possible? Only found a way to select all audiotrack...

I did some tests with run as admin -> save presets -> run as user, no changes. I made changes in the file system and added everyone with full permission for the folder with the presets, no changes. I edited the user_presets.xml and checked the -crop It was in the preset -> <Query> -f mkv --detelecin...

Shame on me.
I compared the wrong files.
Did a new run and video only is now smaller than video & audio.

I am a little bit confused. Did some video encoding with Handbrake svn4415. I took the Blu-Ray Kung Fu Panda. Video only with High Profile and CQ RF:18 -> File size = 6,88GB On another run I added 2 Audio streams 5.1 AC3 with AC3 passthru and used the same quality settings. Video + Audio with High P...

I searched this forum about it and found a lot who have problems with this but no real solution which helps me. I try to save a custom preset, but not all settings are saved. For example the cropping, change to custom and 4 x the value 0. Save preset, the next time I load it, the value is custom. Wh...

I did some tests with make a mkv file from a DVD movie. Once I used the high profile and once I used the normal profile. The file size is with high profile a little bit bigger 200-300 MB. What's about the quality of the movie. I can not see so much difference between them. I am looking for a good co...

What to do when I want to have nearly same file size of the episodes?

Use average bitrate or are there other settings for this?

Thanks that sounds good for movies and I will use the quality slider there. I had some big differences in file size with the tv series stargate. There I got a filesize from 600MB to 1100MB for a 45 minute episode. There I want to use the average bitrate to get the same filesize cause I think 1100MB ...

Are there any good values of average bitrate to make a mkv from a dvd movie or series?

How do I get the bitrate of a DVD for example?
Does handbrake show me this or do I have to use another tool?
