HandBrake

I did not ask for support. The code is there. The solution works. I’ve been ripping disks with Handbrake for almost as long as it has existed and this year is the first time I could not find a solution online. I found no solution here so I posted one. It works. Seems like exactly the right thing to...

I can't speak for others, but I am VERY careful when it comes to following links and downloading files from randos on forums. If you want a wider audience to attempt to address your problem, you should do your best to describe your problem in as much detail as you can.

To expand on rollin_eng's response a little... The bitrate necessary to achieve a certain quality depends on the complexity of the video being encoded. A black frame that never changes will require very low bitrate. A scene with a lot of detail and fast motion will require a hight bitrate. Most vide...

mediainfo is an application that parses media files and produces a report of the attributes it found.

Well, the track data appears to be byte for byte identical for all tracks (at least in size and likely in content)... 1.8.2 [16:28:31] mux: track 0, 198679 frames, 3358604800 bytes, 3242.44 kbps, fifo 512 [16:28:31] mux: track 1, 388433 frames, 202894179 bytes, 195.88 kbps, fifo 2048 [16:28:31] mux:...

That's a scan log. We need to see the encode log. I'm guessing you used the "bob" preset option in the deinterlace filter which doubles the framerate.

The VIDEO_TS spam is just a warning that gets logged as HandBrake tries to determine what format the video is. Your real problem is this [hevc_nvenc @ 000002bc07cc3c00] Driver does not support the required nvenc API version. Required: 12.1 Found: 11.1 [hevc_nvenc @ 000002bc07cc3c00] The minimum requ...

Once the fix is committed to our source repo, the next snapshot build will include the fix and you will be able to install and test with that.

I just took a quick look at the latest h.264 spec (08/2021), and the value 3 is still reserved. So the phone is generating an invalid video bitstream.

The sample video is using a colorspace that libavcodec does not recognize. The h.264 SPS VUI matrix coeffs value is set to 3 which is a reserved value according to libav. It might be possible to sanitize such things, but there would be no way to know if this would cause a color shift or not.

There appears to be a problem initializing the auto-rotation filter during scan [12:24:37] Auto-Rotating video 270 degrees hb_avfilter_graph_init: failed to configure filter graph I tried to reproduce using a video I generated from my phone, but it works fine for me on linux HandBrake 1.8.1 (2024062...

Do you also have JDK_HOME env set? It looks like it only searches for jni.h when JDK_HOME is set.

What instructions are you following? It sounds like something is misconfigured. JAVA_HOME env variable should not be necessary. Maybe it's failing *because* you have this set. Try unsetting it.

FYI, when I build HandBrake, JAVA_HOME is not set and the libbluray phase does not try to find jni.h

The subtitle option "Foreign audio scan" is mis-detecting informational subtitles as potential subtitles for foreign audio. Remove the foreign audio scan "track" from your subtitle settings to remove this. You can permanently remove it by opening the "Selection Behavior"...

But one question still remains: Why does the A/V synchronization (only on Android) break when I encode with 'libdvdread'? The libdvdread encode dropped a fairly large number of video frames near or at the beginning of the first chapter. HandBrake seems to have detected some bad timestamps around th...

To expound on rollin_eng's comment. DVD mastering software is of notoriously poor quality. In addition, after DVD "encryption" was blown wide open they started adding other kinds of structural obfuscations to the data. There are many discs out there that do not conform to the DVD specifica...

Given that the files play in sync on your pc and not the tablet, it's unlikely to be a problem with the encoded file. It's most likely a problem with the tablet or the player being used on the tablet. Since you only provided a scan log and not an encode log, there's not much more I can say about you...

Start HandBrake
Select a preset that is appropriate for your use case.
Open the source file with HandBrake
On the video tab, check the "Constant Framerate" box
Also on the video tab set the "Framerate" option to "30"

First, select "Selection Behavior" on the subtitle tab. In the popup for "Selection Behavior" there is a "Track Selection Behavior" option. Set it to "All Matching Selected Languages". If you want subtitles of any language, add "Any" to "Selecte...

Thank you. I wish that was true, but the dimensions get reduced even if no cropping is selected. And you can see in the log that it says "source: 720x576" whereas the original file is 768 x 576. I've tried everything, but there doesn't appear to be a way to retain the original dimensions....

This problem should be fixed in git now

It will be available in the next snapshot builds

Awesome! Thanks for the list! It is very likely I have several of these. I'll have to dig out my old DVD collection and try some.

What was used to rip the discs? It may make a difference.

If I interpret your question pedantically, no original quality implies lossless conversion. Converting a lossy source using a lossless encoder will always result in a much larger file. If I interpret your question more liberally, yes You can choose a quality setting that will result in output that i...

Also, if you have additional constraints for your encodings (like the pixel aspect must be 1:1) you can set this (Anamorphic None or Custom for other values) and HB will do the appropriate calculation to produce that pixel aspect. The one thing that is no longer possible is to create a preset that w...

The new workflow is designed to retain maximum quality given a set of constraints. One of those constraints is "Resolution Limit". If you plan to convert a lot of video to 800 x 450 resolution, you might want to set the resolution limit to 800 x 450 and save that as a new preset. The advan...
