Re: HandBrakeCLI.exe has stopped working
I have 1 GB of RAM and Win XP. I don't do much HD encoding yet (will be upgrading pc soon) but I do occasionally input a 1920x1080 file and encode to 1280x720 output size. Although slow, this runs fine with the 9.3 CLI. I use x264 with modest settings. I get the impression from this thread I might ...

Re: Error Message When Transfering File to Ext Hard Drive
I doubt this problem has any relation to HandBrake but post more info and maybe someone here can help you: 1. What OS? Windows, Mac or Linux ? 2. If Windows, is the USB drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS ? 3. How long is the file name? My only guess is maybe it's a FAT32 drive and the file name is too lo...

Re: Run Handbrake looking at a hotfolder
Haven't done this myself but it sounds like *** DirMon2 ***is the answer. Just to save you some time, some documentation may be found in *** this SageTV forum post ***.
If you try it I am interested in how it comes out so please post your experience!

Re: Full Frame to 16:9
Well I'm confused now. As I stated in my previous post I have looked at both encodes using VLC Player and only the one with the -l option displays with 16:9. The other one is way too tall (or skinny, whatever). I've also loaded the two encodes into HB as video sources and looked at the scan activity...

Re: Full Frame to 16:9
You cannot specify a height with -P. It is ignored. Beg to differ, jbrjake. To get the desired output (16:9 storage dimensions, 1:1 PAR) I have to include the -l argument. Otherwise the height is way too great. Now this may be because of my source files which have incorrect AR signaling as we discu...

Re: Full Frame to 16:9
OK, here is something to try: You need to know two things: 1. The height of your source video. Get this from the Scan Log in the Activity window after you load the video. Or you can use a program like MediaInfo. 2. The width you desire in your 16:9 cropped output video. 640? 720? or ? Configure your...

Preview window encoding
I exported C# rev 2176 and built it. It runs but I suspect the preview encoding isn't encoding. I'm using the CLI binary that is distributed with 0.9.3 and I'm guessing the -t 1 preview generation option just isn't in there, correct ? (The query looks good otherwise.) If so, can I get a windows bina...

Re: Encoding extremely slow
Try using x264 settings (-x options) from the "Normal" preset, i.e:
-x ref=2:bframes=2:me=umh

Bluescreen : Try changing your x264 options to those used in the less aggressive "Normal" preset: -x ref=2:bframes=2:me=umh This should replace your current: -x ref=3:mixed-refs=1:bframes=6:weightb=1:direct=auto:b-pyramid=1:me=umh:subq=9:analyse=all:8x8dct=1:trellis=1:no-fast-pskip=1:psy-...

Re: Where is the H264 advantage?
If ffmpeg encoding is already transparent to the source for a given bitrate H.264 can't have an advantgae. However you should be able to lower the bitrate and get the same quality. Good call! I repeated the same encodings at 600 kbps. The x264 had comparable quality to the ffmpeg at 900 kbps, while...

Where is the H264 advantage?
My general impression is that I get almost no reward (reduced file size or improved quality for same file size) when I use X264 encoding vs. ffmpeg-mpeg4. But it takes 8 to 10 times as long. I would like to get on the H264 bandwagon but I don't see how to benefit from it. My video sources are SD mpe...

Re: Convert multiple files?
If all the .avi's have the same video parameters (resolution, aspect ratios, etc.) I don't see why you couldn't create a batch file calling the HandBrake CLI version using CLI parameters copied from the Query Window in the GUI.
This seems to work for TiVo-based mpeg2's in my experience.

See this post. You can't have a space between the -P and the numbers. Unfortunately this isn't obvious from the documentation.

Re: Aspect ratio/resolution differences with HB 0.9.3
jbrjake,
OK, you've finally beaten me into complete submission -- and using logic and facts of all things!
Thanks for the learning experience!
P.S. I looked at libmpeg2 and noticed that VideoLan is listed as one of the using projects.

Yes, I'm now convinced you (and HB) are correct. I found essentially the same info you just posted in a book I have, "Video Demystified" by Keith Jack (4th Ed., 2005). It even had the reversed horiz/vert ratios. It all seems needlessly complicated and obscure. So OK, HB is technically corr...

Re: Aspect ratio/resolution differences with HB 0.9.3
As I understand it the relationship is: (width/height) = DAR/PAR, where width and height are encoding (or storage) dimensions in pixels. DAR is display aspect ratio PAR is pixel aspect ratio, also known as SAR (sample aspect ratio). I assume the 4/3 you used must be the DAR -- what else would it be?...

Re: Aspect ratio/resolution differences with HB 0.9.3
So where do we go from here? My Activity Log clearly says it was 0.9.3. I think I downloaded it sometime around 15 Dec, give or take a week. Has the download package changed since it was released in late November? In other words is there any point in downloading a fresh copy?

Re: Aspect ratio/resolution differences with HB 0.9.3
jbrjake,
How does one tell either from your code snippet or my activity log that HB did not recognize my file as MPEG2?
I don't see any case statement in the code snippet that gives 8:9 for the PAR.
