Re: Do I really need to deinterlace a DVD?

If each two half frames were taken from a single original frame the best thing to do is to turn every deinterlacing filter off and encode to 25 fps. The half frames will just be recombined into a single progressive frame. If each half frame shows a different point in time, you ideally should use som...

Re: What does deinterlace preset EEDI2 do?

Decomb blends frames too if the interlace detection is below a certain threshold. It should be possible to set the custom options and disable it, or maybe it's automatically disabled if the "Interlace detection" filter is off, I don't remember. I don't think Decomb tries to blend half fra...

Re: What does deinterlace preset EEDI2 do?

EEDI2 (Enhanced Edge Directed Interpolation) resizes an image by 2x in the vertical direction by copying the current image to every other line in the resized image and then interpolating the missing field I mean the Handbrake filter "Decomb -> EEDI2", not the algorithm EEDI2. For filter &...

What does deinterlace preset EEDI2 do?

I was very happy when deinterlace preset "EEDI2 Bob" was added to Handbrake, it is a visible improvement over "Bob" for deinterlacing interlaced video that wasn't produced from progressive video, and for the latter "Default" is already theoretically ideal as it just rev...

Re: 10bit to 8bit produces a way darker look

That has nothing to do with the bit depth, color space issues would also not make the image significantly brighter or darker. The issue is definitely HDR. The problem is that there is no "correct" way of to convert HDR to SDR. From my understanding HDR video isn't much different from SDR v...

It shows up in KDE Discover on openSUSE and Arch for me, but not in Gnome Software, and also not in KDE Discover on Ubuntu, which I find really weird. I also can't find it on flathub.org.

Re: Quick Sync

When you install Handbrake with Flatpak you can add support for QuickSync Video by downloading the Flatpak QuickSync plugin from the Handbrake download page: https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php The easiest experience with QuickSync support in Handbrake on Linux I had was with openSUSE, Handbrake from...

Strange behaviour when setting the quality for AAC (avcodec) in Handbrake

Description of problem or question: I always liked the option to set the quality and not the average bitrate for Audio encoding because you don't have to think about what bitrate you should chose for a different amount of channels. So instead of setting the bitrate for AAC (avcodec) in Handbrake I ...
