HandBrake

Sorry for so many posts, but just to confirm, this is specific to pre HB 1.8 and only with VTB?

Good to know I'm not going crazy. On the Dolby Vision updates with 1.8.2, I still don't see a way to exclude it to produce a generic HDR file. I can't remember if this is even necessary or if its compatible with non DV TVs and boxes.

Edit 2 : Changing the output framerate manually from "Same as Source" to 23.976fps ( NTSC Film ) to match the source still produces a file with "Variable" listed in MediaInfo. Strangely, manually setting the output to 24fps shows "Constant" in MediaInfo but no longer ma...

Edit : Overall framerate of output file is 23.976fps

Description of problem or question: When using VideoToolbox as the Encoder with the Framerate set to "Same as Source" with "Constant Framerate" checked, the resulting file opened in Media Info shows the "Frame rate mode" line as being "Variable", showing Min ...

Apologies if I was supposed to start a new thread, but the original post is mine. Wanted to give an update based on newer findings. If this needs to be split into a new thread I’ll be sure to do so.

Did more experimenting and the only VideoToolbox encoder that doesn't produce blocks is 8-bit H.264.

It seems like going from an 8-bit Blu-Ray source file in an MKV wrapper doesn't like any of the VTB H.265 encoders. Is this a known limitation or just a bug?

If it helps, one vote here to have the option to disable. Just reverted to last release for the time being. Some of my TVs and players support and others don't so wanted to keep everything the same.

Description of problem or question: Want to keep HDR for 4K sources but strip out Dolby Vision metadata. Can't find an option to disable. Would I need another tool to strip it out first? Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): Feed Handbrake 1.8 4K DV file from 4K Blu-Ray with DV. HandBrake...

Tried leaving out keyint=24 along with every value between 1-48. Like cropping, it just moves around where the blocking is. To add another wrinkle, the blocking only occurs when the duration is high, like between 2-3 chapters worth of any of the problem discs. So making a 10s clip won't reproduce th...

Just noticed cropping plays a factor. Disabling crop to remove the black bars still causes it to block but in a different place. It always block in the same places when cropped and always a different but consistent place when not cropped.

My playback app on the ATV is Infuse which had a few release where 4K playback where not enough keyframes would cause a lot of skipping and stuttering problems when resuming, FF, and RW on 4K sources. Barely increased the file size at the bitrates I was targeting so I stuck with it. They've fixed it...

Forgot to mention, the blocking occurs because the bitrate dips to below 1000kbps ( sometimes single digit ) when viewing in an app like IINA. This is confirmed by using the app MP4 Bitrate Viewer that shows a clear dip in bitrate. Was hoping there might be a way to set a minimum bitrate but have be...

Description of problem or question: I've occasionally been getting blocking when using h.265 10-bit Videotoolbox when the Preset slider is set to Quality and also using the Average Bitrate mode in combination with Multi-pass encoding. It always occurs at the same spots in specific titles, but only ...
