HandBrake

The HBQ format was removed. So far, the only users that were using that have noticed it go, where using it in ways it was never intended for and not something we want to support. The HBQ format was a very convenient way to alter the settings of a batch encode. If it was not intended for saving/rest...

Hi all,

With the current handbrake release, it is no more possible to import a queue.
It was an easy way to "mass modify" some settings with a text editor, for example the quality factor or whatever.
Please allow handbrake GUI to import the json export.
Thanks.

Use x265 codec as it compresses much better than any other.
Use a one-pass quality target (instead of a 2-pass bitrate target), with RF 20-22, depending on your file size goal.
Compress audio with AAC.

You should get what you want

Compared to the mkv container, mp4 is really lame. It doesn't support PGS subtitles, for instance.

Is it related to the way x264 uses parallelism ?

Is it the same with x265 codec ?

Here's a result of a few tests: Alien video track encode quality RF18 very slow 11,53 GB 1,28 fps ***** RF21 slow GRAIN 5,91 GB 6,64 fps **** RF21 fast GRAIN 4,30 GB 20,32 fps **** RF24 slow GRAIN 3,02 GB 7,56 fps * RF20 very slow 2,08 GB 2,52 fps *** It seems that the best tradeoff is the RF21/fast...

I've done a few tests, and it seems the grain tuning increases the file size quite a lot. However, it clearly enhance greatly all details. I've reencoded "Alien" with RF21, slow preset, tune grain and your specific deblock parameters. Then again with RF24. At RF21, the result very convincing, but th...

To my eyes, the 8mb CRF21 Preset Faster Tune Grain sample looks as good as the 15mb CRF15 Preset Slow sample, and it definitely looks better than all the rest. Hello, this is quite surprising. I usually use HEVC with RF20 at the 'very slow' preset to encode 1080p movies, with a ~1-2 fps throughput....

I have no issue compiling the GUI part of handbrake, but I can't compile the libhb.dll, because of python errors: After the ./configure --cross=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-x265 --enable-qsv --enable-hwd --launch-jobs=1 --launch I'm using the right version of mingw (gcc version 4.9.0 20131228 (experi...

Windows builds are broken for weeks...

Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible: As soon as I start handbrake windows GUI, when this window has the focus, the mouse is jerky, it blinks, as if there was a huge CPU usage. However, everything still works and I still can encode. What are the steps to reproduce this problem:...

It works again for me too (svn6978), I deleted all old presets.

Using handbrake on a raspberry pi looks like trying to cut a sequoia with a knife... No ?

Anyway, the error messages looks like missing CPU features. I'd try without x265 if I were you.

The same source works with handbrake 0.10.0. (encoding not yet finished) HandBrake 0.10.0.6534 - 64bit Version OS: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 - 64bit CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz Ram: 16311 MB, GPU Information: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 - 9.18.13.4752 Screen: 1920x120...

Hi, I do have a problem with latest build (I was trying the new HEVC build). When I click the start button, everything seems to work (start button becomes stop etc), but there is no encode job launching...

Hi,

I've noticed that the x265 preset is not saved with user presets (slow, very fast ...). H.265 Profile seems to be saved, though.

Ok, thanks. I'll test it as soon as it is applied on a nightly build.

Look at that : [12:07:35] bd: duration is 00:58:19 (3499040 ms) (...) [12:07:36] scan: 10 previews, 1920x1080, 25.000 fps, autocrop = 0/0/0/0, aspect 16:9, PAR 1:1 (...) [12:07:36] sync: expecting 2473568 video frames (...) [18:40:59] sync: got 87475 frames, 2473568 expected (...) [18:41:00] stream:...

I get such results only with full HD videos. With DVD-class movies (PAL 720x576) the video stream size is cut by -15% to -25% only. Nevertheless, I'd like to know why you think such results are not expected, since HEVC target is 4K-video encoding ! I did nothing special to achieve such a result exce...

Hi, HEVC encoder is still experimental but it works, I use it a lot. I've encoded tens of video, and the video stream size is reduced by -40% to -75% using aggressive settings, over AVC with also aggressive settings. Good video players already support HEVC decoding (especially MPC-HC and VLC) and in...

Hi guys,

Are 3D movies supported by handbrake ? If no, are there any plan to support 3D encoding ?
What about Dolby TrueHD passthrough ?

Intel HD Graphics and Iris Graphics support HEVC hardware decoding since driver version 15.33.22.3621.

I confirm that the problem was related to the BD rip, not handbrake. Sorry.

OK, so it seems impossible to compare the compression ratio of HEVC and AVC ...!
Anyway, I get files with a quite similar quality and very different sizes. This comparison may not be scientific, but I'm not sure it's absolutely meaningless.

I'm not sure, since this BD has 7 tracks. And svn6190 seems also broken: HandBrake svn6190 (Nightly Build) - 64bit Version OS: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz Ram: 16311 MB, GPU Information: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 - 9.18.13.3523 Screen: 1920...
