HandBrake

Description of problem or question: I am trying to transcode an old 1940's serial. Each episode is in 4 chapters of one title. When I try to transcode episodes in chapters 9 and above, HandBrake crashes. Earlier ones transcode fine. The Windows GUI version does not crash transcoding these. Steps to...

Description of problem or question: This is just a minor display issue I've noticed for awhile. When you open a Blu-ray, the selected item in the "Title" drop-down will have the title number and the playlist number run together (no space). As soon as you open the drop-down, HandBrake will add a spa...

I know it's a profile. Sorry if I my response was ambiguous. As for the preset, I use "slower." (for tuning, I typically use "film.")

No, I realize they are different. I do using the encoder presets and limits (I use high 4.1). Do the HB presets not "tweak" these with the more advanced options? I thought they did. If they don't, awesome.

I already have a tool that will parse a disc's info and builds a script to have HB do the encoding. I just can't use presets because a lot of things aren't "overrideable" (I know that's not a word), like track-specifics. And I can't put the tracks I want in the presets because, like I said, the poss...

Configure the audio/subtitle defaults as you want them and save it in a preset.

The possibilities are too varied to do that for every case.

I've always liked the presets because I don't know jack sh*t about A/V encoding. I've recently stopped using them, though (after the main/high presets went away). I've found that some things defined in the presets (e.g., track selection/forced subtitles) can't be overridden. I'd like to be able to u...

Description of problem or question: I'm having a problem with HandBrake I've never seen before. I have encoded all the episodes of a TV series, and all but one are fine. For one episode, there are these periods where the video seems to go into slow-motion for a split second. The audio is fine. I ha...

I've run handbrake for several days at a stretch without issue. My CPU temps never exceed the low 50s.

Wow, I use to depend on this feature a lot. I'm glad I moved away from it.

Is there a way to quiet or reduce the output of HandBrakeCLI? It appears I can increase the verbosity but I cannot reduce it. e.g. Handbrakecli.exe -v-2.

HandBrakeCLI 1.0.7
Win7x64

Redirect the output to NUL or /dev/null, or whatever the null file is on your OS.

I apologize in advance if the documentation already answers this and I missed it. For the audio options that take a comma-separated list of values (i.e., one for each track), such as bitrate, samplerate, mixdown, etc., is there a way to indicate the default behavior for some of them? That is, for so...

Then there are curmudgeons like me who rip everything over 30 seconds, hand the main feature over to handbrake for encoding, watch the extras, and dispose of them afterward. It's rare that an extra really adds to the story (which is why I bought the movie or series), so why bother? So, I like to ke...

The point of that sentence was I've seen a lot of weird ways special features are placed on DVDs (Blu-rays seem to be pretty straightforward). Sometimes it took a lot of effect to extract them, and I didn't want to forget how it was done. I've seen special features that only one particular tool seem...

Thanks for the infos. I don't know if a method like this would work for me. I noticed that the tracks are often at various positions. So I never can tell, which track I would need in advance. Of course storing the job information might make it really easy to just change one setting eg. switch from ...

Hi everybody, whoever uses software like handbrake knows that it is a really time consuming task to work yourself through your DVD and Bluray shelf and free your content from its possibly mortal remains. I did this for a huge collection in the last years and used the codec h.264 for this task. Know...

Trying to reduce execution time via adding more cores will alway butt up against Amdahl's Law. There will be a point of diminishing returns for any process that isn't fully parallelized.

Ugh. Sorry, I figured it out. I accidentally put an extra backslash on the end of the path, and stupid Windows thinks I'm trying to escape the quote. Thus, making the path invalid.

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible: When I scan a disc with the command line, HandBrake exits with an error and says there aren't any titles. The Window's tool scans it fine. I've never seen this issue before. Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBra...

Hi. HandBrake use to dump the ISO 639-2 3-digit codes for the subtitle tracks languages in the scan log. I see that was removed several revisions ago. It still does for the audio tracks, though. I was hope you could add that back in. It made it really easy to parse, much easy than parsing the actual...

It's not a 3rd part app. It's from Microsoft, and it does a lot more than Task Manager.

Download Process Explorer from Microsoft's website. With it, you can easily set both processor affinity and priority of threads.

What I do is extract the chapters using mkvmerge, and use a text editor with a good regex engine to auto-renumber them. Then, remux the mkv file. Most of this work I automate.

I will look into doing so. Ultimately, I was just looking for a way to make a batch job of scripts and someone had recommended PowerShell. Anyone have some ideas for scripting languages to run on Windows? I'm sure HandBrake works just fine with PowerShell. I would just figure out the issue, than lo...
