HandBrake

You were told the name of the package before you dismissed it so if you have google (or bing in china) it's easy to find the package, no need to reinstall HB. Are you serious??? You cannot search google et al if you don't know the name. And if you dismiss a fleeting message and not write it down (a...

@Ritsuka: And your point is???

Update. I've just done a Spotlight search for XQuartz on my old iMac and cannot find it. So I can only assume I'd located the dmg on some external drive I had attached at the time of my last reply. Given that, it appears that XQuartz is not installed on the iMac, and yet the latest build does work o...

Thus invalid.

I had no idea; thank you.
So did I miss some instructions regarding this requirement?
And is it not possible to bundle it with the release?

Anyway, thanks. I'll install and try again.

The answer to your question is no. (There's nothing at all on the Macbookpro; only the dmg file on the iMac but it doesn't appear to have been installed.) Also, why has the title of my post been tagged [Invalid] ? Surely this is a bug if it works on 1 computer and not the other. I'd have thought the...

I have 2 Macs. 1) An old iMac running OSX 10.6.8 2) A new MacbookPro running 10.8.5 I downloaded the nightly build Version 6509svn x86_64 (2014110901) and it works perfectly on the iMac - so happy. No problems with burning in srt subtitles at all. I had some problems initially until I learned to alt...

I've also done a bunch of movies with HB, but only recently started paying attention to subtitles. I'm only interested in forced subtitles on movies: the stuff in Captain Phillips, the bits in Star Wars, and, of course, translating Jive from Airplane! I don't have any complaint about HB right now, ...

I'm trying to find out some information about doing subtitles. Is there a way to encode a dvd with the subtitles where I can decide when I'm watching the movie if I want to have to subtitles on or off? In short, the only way to do this is to encode mkv and tick the "Default" box in the su...

I realise it's been a while but many personal issues have got in the way. @BradleyS : I finally got around to downloading and installing the trial copy of AppZapper. Good tool - thanks. @All : Now just in case anyone else has this problem, I wanted to post to show how to resolve this problem. As I s...

@BradleyS : Re your first comment, I really DO understand that. I have tried to explain myself as clearly as possible yet it seems my question is being misunderstood. Nevertheless, I feel I'm getting somewhere at last. Thank you for explanation re how to remove HB on the new Mac. I'll give that a go...

It means you had something else installed on your mac that was doing on-the-fly decryption...... Yes, it's looking that way. There was a time once when dragging an app to trash was all you'd need to do; showing my age here. :shock: I do wish one of the HandBrake developers would jump in and let me ...

@mduell: Yes, there's a statement to the effect that it is not a ripping tool, but NOTHING about a warning coming up on first use, which subsequently disappears if the user elects to proceed, resulting in a useless tool that produces a rubbish file. I note that no-one has offered an explanation as t...

What version of HB are you trying to install, on what version of OS X? Thanks for replying. The latest - 0.9.9 onto OSX 10.8.4 I realise it's just text but why did it only ever appear once? That's really irritating as one doesn't know whether the disc is copyrighted or not. The program just convert...

Old iMac is running 10.6.8 and HB works brilliantly. Friend gifted me her 12 month old Macbook. I simply copied the HB app from the old Mac to the new Mac. It copied OK but didn't copy my presets. On first use on the new Mac, I wanted to backup my DVD of Railway Man. Handbrake flashed a message abou...

Multiply the audio bitrate(s) by the duration. Sorry but I need more instruction than that. I don't understand what you mean. Where do I find this info? And why does Handbrake dumb down the sound? I recently purchased a copy of MacX DVD Ripper and the sound is brilliant. Only trouble with it is I c...

I recently saw a question on target file sizes by another member and this was the reply: You are also using an audio bitrate that is much much higher than the original audio. 66kbps --> 160kbps. CODE: SELECT ALL Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 66 kb/s ... [18:19:51] + bitrate: 1...

I'm adding my voice to the list of protestors against the removal of the target file size. :( My reason is my off-site file deposit service will not allow files greater than 1G! This trial and error is driving me nuts. If I can't find an easy way forward, will have to uninstall and go back to my old...
