HandBrake

Pastebin your encoding log so we can see what's actually going on. Users are not great at describing it, historically. Yes, there's room for x265 optimizations with more assembly. Also a newer CPU supporting AVX2 and AVX512 will help. Also picking a faster preset will help. Also using quality-based...

You can make a custom shortcut to start up HB, allowing it to use only specific cores and threads. The link looks like this: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "Handbrake" /High /Affinity 55 "C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrake.exe" The number after /affinity (55) decides whi...

ok i will check there, thanks!

You haven't explained why setting priority (which both HB and Windows Task Manager can do, and sticks) is insufficient and/or you want an affinity setting instead. Doesn't make any sense. Sometimes users don't know what's actually good for them. explain what? I dont create windows nor do I create H...

Description of problem or question: does handbrake use avx/avx2? (with x265) what about x264? Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): n/a HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0): latest version from website Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Cr...

For years, we didn't multitask or play games on our editing computers, because we couldn't get any production done. It was a different kind of "priority" for us who needed to make money as producers. So having "some" multitasking ability in 2020 is a luxury, not any entitlement,...

it only stick to the first video in the queue. every succeeding video setting will not apply to them.

HandBrake has no code to change CPU affinity settings. Only priority. There must be something external of HandBrake that's tampering with the process. thank you for replying. I understand currently theres no such code/settings to do it, basically when encoding videos thats over few minutes long mea...

Description of problem or question: HB CPU affinity resets after each video in queue Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): open up handbrake, load up a source and finish settings and encode. using cpu meter see all cores used, bring up task manager go to HB affinity and set it to less cor...
