Re: Wrong output length reported with Nightly Build CLI

I wasn't. When you have something constructive to add please do so otherwise keep your offensive inner monologue to yourself. Some of us are here to learn, not be belittled and talked down to and I think I've bent over backwards at everyone's requests for specific logs and examples so I'm not quite...

Re: Wrong output length reported with Nightly Build CLI

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. :?: If you are referring to the compiling thing, in several decades on the internet and dealing with PC's I have never had a need to do that, not once, and I do not intend to learn how now because of the way the Handbrake developers deal w...

Re: Wrong output length reported with Nightly Build CLI

Why don't you start with before/after encoding logs, and the logs from your BR authoring sw. Also screenshots of what differences you think you're seeing would be helpful. You can compile from the git repo to reproduce any build you'd like. It works fine in the br authoring software. The only place...

Re: Is there a lossless setting for merging 4GB Sony AVC chunks?

I meant the default encoding that hb uses. I get confused sometimes with all these variations. Sorry about that. But yeah, I've had several containers get messed up that I thought I was good to go with and it ended up setting me back days to fix. For example this grayscale disc I've been working on ...

Re: Wrong output length reported with Nightly Build CLI

I wonder if something else was accidentally changed when this happened? I am using the exact same CL's as I have always been, but now since this fix for the length error I have to use a different viewing mode on my TV to raise the height to normal during playback. My TV has 3 picture size modes. Ori...

Re: Is there a lossless setting for merging 4GB Sony AVC chunks?

The differences beetween encoding and muxing are simply not known to most people, but i think we have been here before, recently. MUXING creates a precise, exact bit-for-bit copy of the original. Perceived differences are physically impossible. There are exceptions to that that I have run in to. Th...

Re: Is there a lossless setting for merging 4GB Sony AVC chunks?

Wow! I had never heard of AviDemux. If I could somehow lump Handbrake's 264 capabilities with it I would be an extremely happy camper. I messed with it for hours this week and cannot get it to produce anywhere near as good a file as Handbrake does. Not saying it can't, just that I can't figure it ou...

HB creates a log file even if you can't find a video to select? That's impressive.

Re: Converting MOV to MP4

How can there be a log when HB can't even open the file? :?

Try dragging the file in to HB or move the file to a difference location. Make a folder under C:\ and put it there or save it to your desktop.

Re: How does HB determine original video dimensions?

That height and width doesn't seem right, even with padding at least one of them should be full frame dimension? I like to shrink DVD rips just a bit, I don't mind the small black border. Well, technically I'm enlarging them from the original size, but not to the maximum. It makes them appear a lit...

Can you share your solution? Cause you stumped me :mrgreen: It's as musicvid explained. After a ton of searching on this I came up with what he said. The only thing I ran in to was I had to set HB manually to 23.976 in the GUI version while I was doing my setting tests. If I chose 'Same As Source' ...

Re: Is there a lossless setting for merging 4GB Sony AVC chunks?

I'm not a Tmpgenc fanboi by no means. It's use of h.264 is really bad and it lacks a lot of authoring options but for the price, it's really hard to beat. I've had it for a few months now and I've authored over 30 movies all with edits, subtitles, and multiple audio tracks using custom graphics and ...

Thanks Rodeo. I didn't know about the non-square pixel thing. I use the CLI version of HB and set a 16:9 pad and upscale the original dimensions using this CL for Bluray Compliance . . . handbrakecli -i original.mkv -o output.mkv --pad width=1920:height=1080 --custom-anamorphic --width 1773 --height...

How does HB determine original video dimensions?

I've noticed that when I'm working with DVD rips and try to change the pixel size and set a pad using the CLI version of HB that I have to first throw the original file in the GUI version of HB to get the correct dimensions as a base to adjust from. If I scan the original with anything else such as ...

Re: Is there a lossless setting for merging 4GB Sony AVC chunks?

Pegasys Inc. has a Lossless MPEG editor called TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 5 that will do exactly what you want and only take a few minutes to do it because it doesn't re-render all the files. It only renders the few frames where the clips are put together and leaves the rest untouched. You can use ...

Re: non techie has no idea what she's doing right.

MakeMKV doesn't compress at all . It's just a raw dump from the media to .MKV so the file sizes are huge. It is a great program.

Well, be prepare to be amazed then. NTSC (Region A) Blu Ray players are locked to only play back certain frame rates, 25fps is not one of them.

Updated 9-18-16 This CL is for the CLI version of HB only. This example allows you to upscale source files (for example oddball small files from youtube), set your custom size in a 16:9 pad, and make the output file Bluray Compliant. See bottom of this post for Bluray Compliant settings in the GUI ...
