HandBrake

Confirmed, and the beta key page is updated. Good. Thanks.
EDIT: and loaded into wayback.archive.org .

My previous copy of MakeMKV has expired, and the domain (makemkv.com) is now an "account suspended" page.

Where can I download a new copy? (Mac, if it makes a difference)

Alright, what should I use? "dd" gives me I/O errors.

Hmm? I'm not sure I understood that. For the DVD, in 264, Q 21 is the point at which the quality is there. Anything worse looks bad. For 265, I'm just looking to see where that same quality is maintained. Oddly, I can actually get a bit better at 16.5 -- the source has "color banding in low lig...

OK, here is a fresh set of encodes, this time with disk 1. So testing, crusade disc 1, episode 1, chapter 3. Takes about 1 min, 50 seconds to do a subtitle scan (to determine that there are no foreign language subtitles). All encoding tests are done with detelecine and "fast decode". Testi...

But the 265 file, although smaller, is significantly worse quality on playback.

To get the same quality, I have to go to a lower number, which makes the size almost identical.

With the TV, as soon as I cranked the quality up to where I was not seeing edging artifacts on clothing, and still able to see lines on ships in the CGI, the size was the same. Both at "fast", one at Q21, one at Q16, and the size was also the same. I'd be happy with "same quality in l...

I'd like to know what, if anything, I am doing wrong. What I expected: x.265 should compress better (less space) for the same quality, or better quality for the same space. What I found: After doing quite a bit of testing for a TV show on DVD (with de-telecine), an x.264 quality of 21.5 is about the...

If that's different from what I posted in the log window, where do I find it?

So it's saving about 1/7th of the output (about 50 MB per 44 minute episode) with just detelecine. Output frames all look sharp, with no frame intermixing. Even the CGI spaceship battle manages to keep the motion blur and remove the frame stutter. With the output still claiming to be 29.97xxx. Not 2...

So I don't need/want either Deinterlace: decomb, nor interlace detection?

Thank you.
(I'll be sure to forward that last response to Mario)

Great. So two questions: 1. What settings do I need? Do I need to turn on telecine, and turn the frame rate from 30 to 24? Do I want the 23.9-something-something instead of 24? What else? 2. Grumble grumble grumble. The disk has 4 episodes, and "play all" plays all 4. But title 1 only foun...

Where can I find the actual log file, if it contains more info?

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible: I want to copy the files off a DVD to disk so that I can use handbrake on the folder. For speed, for using DVD player software for games, etc. Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What version of OSX are you...

So lets say I have a DVD that is 30 fps, and it was originally a 24 fps source. I can see, very consistently: two copies of one frame, a frame that is a mix of 2, and then three copies of the next frame. My goal is to output a 24 fps video that has just the 2/3 pattern, skipping the mix frame. How c...

Or for that matter, a disk with 4 episodes, each episode being 6 chapters.

So how can I convert a queue entry to a command line?

(bumping the appropriate thread to continue the discussion) ... Based on a posting, the main setting that affects video quality is trellis, hence the presets can be grouped by it: 0. ultrafast, superfast, veryfast 1. faster, fast, medium, slow 2. slower, veryslow, placebo The other settings affect e...

The only thing that I changed in this setting was the "Very fast / medium / slow / very slow" slider. Nothing else was changed. Same source file. Same quality level. Same everything else. The thinking was that if I used a "slower" speed, it would compress more, and be smaller. Th...

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible: (I hope this is the right place for device-independent presets questions) I tossed a recording at Handbrake. Ultrafast came out to 13.39 GB. I then stepped up the "quality" level, keeping everything else the same. I exp...

Where do I find "Source Maximum"?

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible: I want to use Handbrake to compress video output from an editor, and NOT alter the output size. This means that, on the "picture" tab, the "source" size values should be used for both "storage size" ...
