HandBrake

Excitement officially abated :)

This might be of extreme interest to us.

On the GUI choice for the first release, I'm with dynaflash; How much time do you all think we have in getting the encoding stable? It doesn't seem to be just a memory leak now that various libraries have been upgraded. I think dynaflash and I could get the GUI up to speed in a few weeks, but will t...

I'm not worried about having users :) I'll help out simply to get what I want out of it. If something titer does is something I want, then I'll use it! Freedom of choice, nothing wrong with giving users (or ourselves) one. I'll stick around simply for the learning experience. I'll have you guys appl...

Anxious to see your preset code. Mine is likely to pale by comparison. :) I doubt it, it wasn't anything that special. It could be done more cleanely, but having clean preset code vs. not having presets in the app makes any functional preset code acceptable for now :) I threw these mock ups togethe...

Per a conversation between dynaflash and I, we were sorta on the same page as a far as integrating IHBs and HBs interfaces. Below is a link to some mock ups I made, please comment here with suggestions. I hope our design attempts on any front aren't ruined by the effects of too much committee :) Enj...

/me looks confused :)

I built HB from r101 last night, the mac GUI looks like it should, all is well.

GET ON IRC. IRC = < confusion

sr55 are you going to give me gruf about my use of irssi in Terminal?

I use Colloquy unless I'm maintaining Op status by always being connected from my server :)

Settle down, breath :) I am referring to your UniGUI and stuff. I don't want to bother implementing anything with the knowledge that we still need to have the discussion as to the direction we are heading with the GUI. No worries. Just bustin' you balls man.

If someone would like to supply me with some DVD content to test with, I will do it [OSX]. Otherwise I'll need to locate a DVD. I finally got a chance to get HB built from the repository and noticed that the OSX GUI is ripe for the preset work I did. I could put it in... As much as I want to I know ...

I have wget on my Mac and it decided to use it over curl.

There used to be an explanation of the name and the icon on titer's old site (I'm pretty sure). The app was meant to give titer's hand a brake from all the crap one used to need to do to rip video. What do you enjoy when you're relaxing instead of clicking, well a nice mixed drink of course! Back of...

Danke to z ravnwolf!

Well I'll hang around on freenode in #handbrake-dev, until rhester tells me to screw off. Cya there :)

I'm not saying this to stop the presses or anything, you guys roll on with all the work you seem to have been doing. Kudos to the effort. I'm tearing up a bit with all of this iPod and cross-platform GUI talk. One thing I really admire about titer's work was how he managed to provide the different i...

Hah! Yeah, and? When he slapped "Open Source" on his project, he sorta had to accept the fact that someone else could, should, and would do something with it. I'm sure he has a good reason not to be active, like, he doesn't owe us anything and he got a new dog? :) Seriously, he'd have no r...

Any of the devs care to fire up an IRC channel?

#handbrake-dev on freenode?

I don't think we'd get too much crap from people, if we did we would sadly need to lock the channel down. Just a thought. I find IRC quite handy.

EDIT:
Channel is up and running! Come join us! --jbrjake

I stuck to the main window for the initial implementation. Like I said, if titer would have accepted it I would have finished it up. I figured a generic plist in app support was a simple and portable way to go.

Anyhow, initial implementation, if the new camp will accept me I'm willing to help out.

On the topic of how presets would make the original HB interface nearly perfect... (really, it's hard to beat from a usability standpoint) One thing I can think of is not necessarily putting the image from picture settings in the main view, but maybe the status of those settings (de-interlace on/off...

My thoughts are that the queue should be put directly in the work flow. By that I mean the user is always using the queue regardless if it's just one thing 'in the queue'. I haven't checked to see just how much separation there is in the code from the queue as opposed to simply clicking start. Let m...

I personally found being able to verify 90% of the settings in one glance was something that made HB very nice to use. I understand the want to integrate IHB and HB, but I'm not completely sure I agree. IHB is the much less configurable for a reason. It's drop dead simple. HB is still ridiculously s...
