HandBrake

Why are you using average bitrate rather than constant quality encoding? Constant quality encoding will be faster since it doesn't require an extra pass and will result in more consistent quality from one encode to the next. Different source material can require vastly different bitrates to get equ...

Didn't think i needed to given it's not a problem issue and just general info but anyway here is my log from last encode, hope i've done this bit right as it's first time i have used pastebin

I am using v1.1.2 64 bit on Win 7 U x64 I'm trying to get the balance between half decent quality and not taking forever and a day to enocde, normally this is how i have my settings https://i.postimg.cc/tRcyVFDP/Handbrake.jpg for me i find 2550kbps is enough for most of what i do, but it does take a...

I think mduell and rodeo were questioning woodstock, not you. Regarding your file bitrate, if you keep your HB encoded files in their own folder you won't need to worry about the bitrate as it will be whatever you set it to. Oh Jesus having re read things i think your right, plenty of humble pie fo...

mduell & yRodeo why the hostility? I'm asking a simple question if you can't answer a question without being hostile or ignorant may i suggest you don't bother saying anything. However i will explain why i want it to show up using when using PlayTime, as i'm sure your aware some video files com...

Morning all. So i have been encoding some of my retail DVD's (Reg 2) to MKV as most say handbrake is one of the best, and i have to be honest it seems to do a good job, however i have one issue that is driving me bonkers, i find anything about 2500kbps is good enough for me so import the DVD, Pictur...

Trouble is the media comes in many different formats, i forgot all about the preview windows that would have saved me ages, ok thanks for the replies guys hopefully with both your info i'll be able to sort this problem out many thanks

I was wondering if there is a way/rule to work out what the aspect ratio should be from a video source, for example if a video file is say 720x480 is there some way o f working out what settings i should use in Handbrake? The only problems i ever get with this app is aspect ratio related sometimes i...

I ran a few tests and came back with same bad results, I'm going to run them again but this time keep a track of what i'm doing and i'll post back with that info and some screen shots as well, god knows why this one is playing up and the rest were fine.

Thanks for the reply Rodeo, trouble is i have done it so many times i can't remember what the setting were Doh! WHat i'll do is tonight run a few passes with different setting and see if any of them give me a decent result, what i don't understand is i have done 60 odd other files and they all came ...

Hi everyone, I have ripped some R2 DVD to my HDD and all has gone well except a single episode of something that always seems to convert to wrong ratio, I have played with all picture tab setting but still do not get the right effect. I ripped the DVD to the hdd using "DVDDecrypter" i know...

Well i tried to rip directly from the DVD and got the following error pop up http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6570/image1bz.jpg I'm guessing this is something to do with copy protection on the DVD, i did use DVD Decrypter to rip it to hdd which did give me a text file that says the following 0x20 ...

OK thanks i'll give it another go now then and post back with some results

You have to tell us what you expect - what should the aspect ratio be? Is it a cinematic width movie or 16:9 or 4:3? Thanks for the reply mduell sorry i thought giving the 1365x552 info would have been enough for you (told you i was a newbie) ok film is 1:85.1 (16:9ish) and i guess i'm just trying ...

Hi everyone it's my first post here and I’m a virgin where handbrake is concerned, so go easy on me please. I'm trying to convert my DVD to mkv but when i do the aspect ratio seems to go awol making the mkv file awful to watch, now i have to admit i know very little about aspect ratio, i know the di...
