D'oh! Thanks for that catch/correction (that's what happens when I post from memory.)

Re: Compressing Water Scenes -- a problem

I add these parameters to all of my HD encodes:

Code: Select all

vbv-maxrate=25000:vbv-maxbuf=31250
That should help preserve fast motion scenes. I also use Wi-Fi and have not had an issue when using encodes with these parameters.

Re: iPod Touch 5th gen--best presets?

Also, if you want a file that can also be played on a TV with good image quality (via e.g. the iOS-based AppleTV) rather than maximize the number of movies you can fit on your iPod, the AppleTV 2 (720p) or 3 (1080p) presets will also work on a 5G iPod touch. Rodeo, do you want to speculate on the l...

Latest Nightly not saving Advanced Options String

Using 5391svn Mac version. Can't save my own custom profile with Advanced Options. Use to work.... bug?

Using this in option string:

DTS and Apple TV

I just started including DTS audio passthru in my HandBrake encodes in the hope that someday Apple will support it via the Apple TV device. Anyone else including DTS (in addition to AAC and AC-3) in their encodes?

You know, there are actually quite few of us. If you want this fixed quicker, you need to either provide a patch or have someone do it on your behalf.

I've seen some really good numbers from Handbrake CLI users who've been able to use Amazon's EC2. I've tried to get an instance setup on Amazon using CLI but I don't know enough about Linux to get it to work. I'm hoping that some kind soul who has actually used Amazon EC2 is able to write a short &q...

Re: Good settings for Blu Rays?

Unless you have hardware that can't take 1080p, there's not much reason to go to 720p and no reason to go 900p. If you want smaller files, increase the RF and keep it at 1080p for a better result until the RF gets quite high (32+). I'm not really concerned about the file sizes, and my hardware (App...

Re: Good settings for Blu Rays?

I used the Apple TV2 preset as a basis and then tweaked it from there. Many Blu-rays will look just fine with a CQ 22 and at 720p. For more recent Blu-ray discs that have excellent transfers you should consider 1080p or 900p (1600 x 900 pixels). Again, CQ of 22 is just fine, no need to use a CQ of 1...

Did you perchance test the C1.Medium instance? It only costs 25% of the C1.XLarge instance. Anything better than 25% of the performance would make it a worthwhile image to use.

Re: DVD: The Best Setting?

I find that for DVDs the AppleTV2 preset offers a very high quality versus the time to encode a MP4 version. It uses the CF=20 plus some important settings on the Advanced tab. I think you would be satisfied with the results.

Re: Demux MP4 AC3 audio and remux with converted audio

I have found that MP4Tools does a fairly good job of muxing audio tracks with a video track. It complements HandBrake in that regard. It will do what you are looking to achieve, I believe.
