Re: Obscene Handbrake Speeds *g*
Again, I don't believe this is HandBrake memory usage - it tells you at the end of the encode in the Activity Log precisely how many bytes it allocated. I believe you are looking at disk caching, and observing the OS swapping out parts of itself to favor the cache for performance. This has nothing ...

Re: Silent crash, semi-consistent, need help pinning down
Interesting. In my case, my queues usually die after a meager 4 episodes. Perhaps the settings make a huge difference in the type of leak. I won't go into the details, since they are already available in the other thread. One thing you can do is if you have a single disc or movie, watch the memory u...

Re: Integrated 'Atomic Parsley' Tagging ability
By all means, leave MetaX the default. It is the best GUI-based tag editor the Mac has right now. :) I am just saying that it might be better served to have a preference control which app loads it, and make MetaX the default rather than tie the mini-feature's usefulness to MetaX exclusively. Heck, I...

Re: Integrated 'Atomic Parsley' Tagging ability
What I think would be nice is the ability to have a preference in the GUI to let a user tell Handbrake to send the file to another app after the encode is done... such as MetaX or Lostify (or even iTunes for some people). This actually already exists for MetaX. Huh, I stand corrected... it might be...

Re: Integrated 'Atomic Parsley' Tagging ability
Why do you say so? I've used jesterware on windows and its a converter and a metatagger. It just means it's possible to have a tagging tool built inside handbrake or some other converters. Seperating converters and taggers is just inconvenient. To be a nice guy here, this is the reason: Handbrake h...

Re: iPhone Chapter naming
This has to have been covered. Sorry for asking, but I searched forever and couldn't find anything on it. I've converted several DVDs to m4v files where I named the chapters. The naming works beautifully everywhere except on my iPhone. My iPhone chapter names in the Chapter Guide still read Chapter...

Re: Obscene Handbrake Speeds *g*
That depends. It shouldn't need more than a couple hundred MB at any one time (it seems to stabilize at about 200MB per instance of HB). In my experience, 0.9.2 has a memory leak which can lead to crashes, but even then, HB only has ~200MB active. So having more RAM won't make HB any faster if it ha...

This looks suspiciously like the memory leak I was hitting and partially reported in this thread. (I in fact first hit on this same type of crash when ripping GitS SAC, either season as well) How many episodes are in your queue, and where does it crash? http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=12&a...

Re: [Updated: SUCCESS!] Non-Handbrake solution for Subs/Captions
iTunes CCs are just Quicktime CCs in an MPEG-4 container. They have documentation on Quicktime CCs for programmers. iTunes Subtitles are MPEG-4 Timed Text tracks. Heck, Quicktime now recognizes and displays proper timed text tracks that are embedded into an .mp4 using mp4box. The catch is that I hav...

Okay, so I have somewhere around 12+ TV series I still need to import into iTunes from my collection. 0.9.2 with VFR has got me interested in ripping these TV series that are actually variable framerate and I wrote off awhile ago. So, I wrote a couple scripts for the CLI, loop in AtomicParsley to ta...

Re: Batch conversion using CLI via Perl or Shell script??
I actually have a Bash script helper I use to write up rip scripts for TV shows. Mostly to ensure consistency in the rip itself if I am running a TV series, and so I can do some really wicked things with a simple batch script + csv file. :) I'll post it and a sample later tonight. I have a version n...

Re: QT Subtitles & Closed Captioning (Mostly Bad News)
Yes, but I also want to make it clear it isn't a solution for those of us trying to rip foreign films.
It is a good solution for those that want or need CC in English-speaking countries though.

Re: 0.9.2 Memory Leak
Below are both the console and crash logs. Right now I think running Instrumentation on Handbrake itself using a debug build will likely prove to be a bit more helpful in catching a memory leak at this stage (The debugger will more likely just confirm what the logs say). The really crappy thing is t...

0.9.2 Memory Leak
I've been trying to do some longer queues (10 + TV episodes in a single queue). It seems there is some form of memory leak that is causing a crash (and a malloc failure to be logged into the console log). From what I can tell so far, it seems to be related to multiple sources and or multiple titles ...

Re: QT Subtitles & Closed Captioning (Mostly Bad News)
Yeah, I have the second movie, and know what you mean. However, CC and Subtitles in this case are two different things (even to Apple). CC is very limited compared to subtitles, and still uses the fairly old system that has been in use with TV broadcasts for quite awhile. AFAIK, it still uses ASCII ...

First, the good news... closed captioning as it is used in iTunes is already documented. It is just a clcp/c608 track (Quicktime Closed Captioning) in an MPEG-4 file. ...

There are several different components, and most of them are in different source files - Grabbing chapter marks from the DVD ifo.
