Scaling - Why Round Output Display Size to Integers?
Description of problem or question: In the 1.4.x series, the output is sometimes having a slightly different aspect ratio than the source and/or Resolution and Scaling settings. Near as I can tell, it wants the Display Size of the output file to be an integer. This is different than 1.3.x and earli...

High GPU Usage of the UI (not using hardware encoding)
Description of problem or question: When the Handbrake queue is open, Windows Task Manager reports really high GPU usage - around 20% of the GPU for "3D". If you close / minimize the queue window, GPU 3D usage goes down. But that's not helpful when you're actually trying to manage the que...

Re: Parallel queue implementation
Maybe CPU starvation is due to something else, maybe cache thrashing or I/O? Here is the reference he found on the topic. 384 GB = 12 x 32 GB - all 12 channels are populated, or 1 memory channel per 4 cores. Put a temp drive on a RAM disk to eliminate I/O - it didn't really help. If you believe the...

Re: Parallel queue implementation
It's worth testing if this is a bottleneck. I've always assumed we'll hit CPU limit first. :D Tests would be interesting. The simulation software we use at work is reported to hit CPU starvation somewhere between 2-3 cores per memory channel. Beyond that, there isn't enough RAM bandwidth to keep th...

Re: x265 Limit threads
What about just using Task Manager to lower the priority of the Handbrake thread to Below Normal or Low? Or is "Low" priority not low enough that you need to further reduce the x265 pools, too?

Re: Make two videos exactly the same size
By "size" you mean seconds (length), not bytes???? Avidemux has time resolution down to individual frames. If the frames line up on keyframes, the cut can be lossless ("Copy" mode). If not, it has to transcode. HuffYUV is lossless (HUGE files). Maybe x264 with Quality=0 is, too. ...

Avidemux for lossless cutting, changing the container, etc. Also does transcoding with more audio and video filters than HB.

OT: How to get properties
Yes, I know this is off topic (but tangentially related)... I'm running out of hard drive space. To help me limp along until I buy more storage, I want to find candidate videos that could get highest file size reduction from transcoding. Videos using older codecs or low compression are obvious candi...

Re: HE-AAC Audio Missing on Latest Version
I've done this a couple of times with instructions from here and here . Have HE-AAC with 1.2.2. Dual boot is going to be your fastest option. Other ways are VirtualBox or Windows Subsystem for Linux if you have Winders 10. Both are mind-numbingly slow (e.g. "20 minutes" = 2 hours show). Un...
