HandBrake

for that matter the ffmpeg2 codec is useless, I don't believe that mp4 container supports mpeg2 video. (I may be wrong here). So if handbrake supports mp4, m4v, mkv format (assuming that the list) it should only allow those extensions in the output file and also put a check for a valid codec/contain...

Probably a good idea to check the output file extension provided by the user and either fail the conversion or warn the user about an invalid extension

Hmm, weird! It doesn't give an error when trying to create a TS file as an output and it plays in WMP so I just assumed! Thanks for the clarification.

If wanted to check is there's any special TS format that handbrake uses when creating TS files. Reason I ask is that I noticed that TS files created by handbrake into issues with other software (but on the other hand files created by ffmpeg work just fine). Here is a classic example, I create a TS M...

Thank you and noted. BTW is this also related to SVN7158 or before?

I understand john, I was interested specifically with SVN7160, was this a bug related to 7158 or before and is it under specific conditions or generally applicable? That would be very helpful for me. I'll continue to test and provide feedback.

@JohnAStebbins, can you shed some light on the above fix please

This happened once, I can't seem to replicate it but while converting it exited "early" and the resulting conversion was just 16KB in size. I apologize for the "extra" debug messages since handrake is bring run through MCEBuddy, but you'll see below the early exit. Wondering if a...

thanks. BTW slightly off topic, I saw this in the timeline: Changeset [7160] by jstebbins cli: fix off-by-one audio track selection I checked with SNV7149 and the audio selection works fine from the CLI, was this bug introduced later? Reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a stable SVN build and the l...

My bad, here you go: C:\Users\rb\Desktop>HandBrakeCLI.exe -i test.ts -o test.mp4 -e x264 -E copy -O unknown option (-O) C:\Users\rb\Desktop>HandBrakeCLI.exe -i test.ts -o test.mp4 -e x264 -E copy --optimize [15:39:52] hb_init: starting libhb thread HandBrake svn7172 (2015051301) - MinGW i686 - https...

All of a sudden the -O option doesn't work, it says unrecognized option and fails. With SVN7149 it worked fine with SVN7172 it doesn't work. however --optimize does work
Anyone know if this is by design or a bug?

I see in the changes summary on 25th Nov 2014 by @sr55:

Remove the Large file size option as it is no longer available.

however with the latest nightly build I still see the -4 option. Does this mean the GUI doesn't support it or what exactly does this mean?

Any thoughts on the request?

Can I put in a request please, looks like it's impossible to build 32bit handbrake when one is starting from scratch. Since you have a setup that used to build 32bit versions till a few weeks ago I would request you to PLEASE continue bulding 32bit builds for now for the nightly builds section. Once...

Okay I've made some progress, downloaded the latest toolchains from the suggested links and added the bin folder to the PATH. I get the following error, this is related to mingw and if so any suggestions? (am I using the wrong version?) : /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /home/mcb/Software/...

Great thanks I'll post back what it takes for me to build it for your reference also. BTW, what do you mean the 32bit builds are still available in the BETA page? What page is this? On the nightly builds page I only see 64bit builds. Although I would suggest that 32bit build continue to be published...

I"m getting seriously lost here trying to figure out what toolchains and the different builds. I'm looking at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ Can anyone advise which one I need to install to get the latest trunk to build in BOTH 32bit and 64bit Windows CLI of handbrake. thanks....

Can you also please put up the instruction for building the latest trunks. Can you tell me where you got the mingw and how you've configured to use it to build handbrake?

Infact the latest code won't even build on 12.04. I get the following error while trying to build x264. Anyone have any idea what the issue is? checking whether i686-w64-mingw32-windres works... yes x264 configure script Command line options: "--host=i686-w64-mingw32" "--build=x86_64-...

So I'm not sure who's maintaining the website, but here's some feedback. On the page for building Handbrake CLI for Windows using Ubuntu 12.04 (https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileOnWindows) it need to be updated to mention that the YASM installed via the apt-get is not correct. Instead the user n...

@JohnAStebbins, I used to use that link until they stopped providing 32bit builds. If they can get those back up there I'd be SUPER happy not having to break head on getting this work on 14.04. I'll check on the logs again @Rodeo - I checked the thead again and I don't see where you explained how yo...

@rodeo can you tell me how you got it to work or any clue how I can fix this freetype issue? Be happy to post my results back here after a successful build.

If you don't mind me asking - why is that?

@Rodeo, so no chance for 14.04 or is there some workaround for this freetype issue?

First thanks this was a solid lead, wish this was there on the official compile page (like ffmpeg does for zeranoe builds). Second, looks like your build for for linux, I'm looking at windows builds (32 and 64bit) using mingw. Do you have builds for windows? I checked out doc/builds for from https:/...
