Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

As far as I understood your last sentence from the post before you found a nice way to deal with extra content eg. a making of or whatsoever.

But maybe I got you wrong there.

Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

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 h...

Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

The redundancy is not important for the movies, but I have different stuff on this device, like all my personal data. And there I want to have the redundancy. I mean if the size of your collection is small enough or your storage is huge enough to not compress your media it's fine. But I think I've h...

Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

Same here. I have a Synology 2Bay Nas which I recently upgraded to 2*6TB WD Red, giving me around 6TB usable space. That was nearly 500€, which is nearly 600$. They are not the biggest HDDs but already quite big. And again, when I have the hole collection stored as uncompressed mkv's, why should I s...

Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

What you should be doing, now (and the first time), is ripping the disks 1:1 with MakeMKV or similar; storage is cheap. This way you never have to touch the physical disk again. Any encodes for size/compatibility/future codecs should be done from those rips. Going from your already degraded H.264 e...

Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

Hmm I found in an detailed guide some recommended settings for it, but anyway season 4 Walking Dead is still nearly 90GB with quality settings at 21.
This series is definitely on my list of things I want to give a second try to decode with different settings.

Re: Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

So you think H.265 is still to experimental? Since it's used in Germany for DVB-T2 broadcasting I thought it's already rock stable. And of course you are right. They did not turn bad over night. But when I see that I can shrink the used storage to a half with the new codec I get really excited. Espa...

Upgrade of MKV collection from H.264 to H.265 possible?

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,...

Re: Tags appear in mkv File although they are deleted

So if I install handbrake nightly it would be fixed? Good to know.
But with nightly maybe some things are buggy I guess.

Anyway thanks for your work. I really love your software.

Re: Tags appear in mkv File although they are deleted

I don't get it. So there is a fix for it, but it is not implemented yet and there is no hope it will be implemented in the future?

Re: Tags appear in mkv File although they are deleted

Can one stop it from that in general?

Actually I don't want anything in there.

If I remember right, the Windows version didn't do it.

Tags appear in mkv File although they are deleted

I am using Handbrake 1.0.4 (x86_64) on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. When I load a DVD or video file, automatically some fields are filled out in the Tags section. Although I delete them before starting the job or putting the job on the waiting list, they appear later on the output file. So far I used mkvprop...

Re: Wrong Position of Subtitles

Thanks that helped indeed.
Good side effect from the struggle is, I now know how to use the libraries from Makemkv directly for Handbrake.

Wrong Position of Subtitles

Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible: When ripping BluRay Breaking Bad Season 2 all subtitles come too early. E.g. Dialogue starts at 1:48 but the first line of subtitle starts at 1:28. What are the steps to reproduce this problem: Version 1: Start Handbrake-> load Bluray-> sel...
