HandBrake

Hello, i would like to know why it isnt possible to "MERGE" several VOB input files into a single end file like it is possible with programs like Leawo Dvd Converter or Daniussoftware. Furtermore is it possible to implement the new free video codec VP8 ? Thank you. You can make direct MKV...

On the other side, it's always better to pass all the "tvshow" movies through a real tagger, because the "stik" atom is not set by iTunes even when changing the "movie type" by hand. So, set the "stik" atom to "TV Show" with something like AtomicPars...

With MakeMKV you can repack a single title into a MKV (losslessly, also the language data is there). Then use mkvtoolnix to join both files, encode the joined file and recombine with the original one as you wish (for me, it's encoded video, pass-through audio and vobsub subtitles). Still have to try...

Hi everyone and very very many thanks to all devs and admins for the great work done, both with the program, that gets cleaner and cleaner with each release, and with the forum, by maintaining the level of discussion very high by squashing trolls and noobs. I am a noob and I was squashed just at the...

Would you elaborate on that? I'm using both MTR and FM+DTOX but I can't see a winner. A more informed view could get me to the right side of the street!

You can already convert a mkv (provided ffmpeg can read it) into anything that HB can output. You load the mkv as a source, then set your settings, then encode, et voilà...

With some rippers (at least MacTheRipper) you have the option to output a single VOB of the title. This contains all the audio and all the subtitles. Then you open your VOB in MkvToolnix or any other muxer and save in your new matroska container. Beware that subtitles, afaik, are not supported this ...

In other words, learn how to use your TV set and your AppleTV. This is not a problem of the handbrake program.

You're just plain right! Anyway, I think that it would be a very interesting feature to have, being that there exists at least one movie that is pressed in more than the 9 GiB limit. The fact that I am absolutely unable to do it myself as a developer (I'm not in A/V field) and that I hoped that some...

...In my case, the three LOTR EE boxes have this problem) no...the 3 PAL versions may have this problem. NTSC versions are fine to combine. ...as I said: "in my case". Maybe even not all EE PAL version suffer from this, but anyway, that has already been discussed to boredom. Let's say thi...

ok... good points. It'll remain a dream.

As already pointed out in another thread, some movies are encoded in more than 9 GB of mpeg2 data (films span two discs, and the joined movie would exceed the 9 VOB limit for a DVD title. In my case, the three LOTR EE boxes have this problem). So, even if you can make a single 14 GB dvd image from t...

Maybe it's just plain crazy... When you export a Keynote presentation (with effects and so on) into a quicktime movie, the result is an interactive movie where you can click here and there and move through the movie clip. Maybe something could be done to achieve the same for DVD menus, like integrat...

There's always the expectation that on a whim we can have a movie on an iPod for a trip Encoding at low resolution for iPod/iPhone (think something less than 1024 macroblocks - 16x16 px each) is WAY faster than encoding cabac crf and all the stuff for high quality home theater experience. I think t...

It would be good to have a multi title DVD rip into a single file, for kids' short cartoons for instance (anyone Pocoyo?). It's better for kids to have 8-10 5 minutes chapters in a sigle movie than to have to selct them like episodes of a series (more like 30-60 minutes each). My baby daughter is 3 ...

Let's say you rip more or less 6 movies into each iMac. It will take 3-4 hours not counting the walking time. Then you'll upload to the common share. If the file server has gigabit ethernet, you'll get a theoretical max throughput of 1 Gb/s, that's 128MB/s. If movies are more or less 6GB each, you'l...

Some 9-12 hours with ref=6:subq=6:me=umh:no-fast-pskip=1:trellis=1:analyse=all:mixed-refs=1:merange=32:level=30:bframes=6:direct=auto:weightb=1:bime=1:brdo=1:no-dct-decimate=1 at 67% crf gave birth to a pretty decent movie, 3.9 GB, good audio, for FOTR. Then I tried to open the original (combined) v...

I got to the same solution (using 'cat' in terminal) and I'm currently encoding the movie. I hope that the audio track order is the same in the two files... We'll see when I get back home this afternoon Chapters are not really interesting in a movie, much more in cildren's series where you can have ...

Maybe the XBox does not support anamorphic... In that case you're left to get the "low" quality KAR selection. The anamorphic setting will not add pixels to the sides, it will only instruct the movie player to stretch pixels horizontally before displaying them. So if the player does not su...

Although 9 GB won't fit in a DL disc, not counting all the .IFO, _0.VOB etc.

Sorry cavalicious, I understand that maybe that two screenshots weren't definitive, but I ripped the "main feature" of both discs with MTR and the resulting vobs are exactly the size I said, that is part 1: 6,03 GB part 2: 6,41 GB If I can't trust the title selected by MacThe Ripper, I don...

Hi, I hope that anyone is still reading this thread. It's all bout combining two DVD into one movie. I'm trying to do this for LOTR (rip w/ MTR, extract the two halfmovies w/ DTOX, combine the halves int the same title in a new movie w/ DTOX) The point is that in the third step the resulting title ...

This is the first half of the fellowship of the rings (EE), title 1 is just over 6 GB, without counting the "0" vob (titles?) http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj266/savjo_2008/Imagen1.png and this is the second half, just below 6.5 GB. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj266/savjo_2008/...

And even more, in FrontRow/AppleTV you'll listen to just the first audio track.

Also beware that as for now AppleTV doesn't support more than one AC3 track anyway.

That was exactly the point of the question starting the thread. I think the problem is not the size, but the filenames, they have to be VTS_01_1.VOB to VTS_01_9.vob (note two digits for title number and one digit for vob number, this is the same that the known limit of 99 titles, 9 vobs per chapter)...
