HandBrake

Says in the wiki entry for DRC (https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/DynRangeCompression) that '1.0 uses the compression hints embedded in the AC3 track.'

would i be right in thinking this means setting the DRC to 1 will make the resulting aac file the same as the original ac3 file volume wise?

I used no DRC when converting because i wanted to keep the audio track the same as the original AC3 track when converting it...

basically, can i get the resulting AAC to preserve the metadata from AC-3 such as dialnorm and DRC profiles?

thanks

I can post a log tomorrow, but to be honest I thought this wasn't a one off encode issue and that it was because the DRC is always removed by default when converting from ac3 to aac?

Thanks

Is their a way to keep the resulting aac track from an encode the same volume as the original ac3 track? I keep having to turn the volume up and down with the aac track where as the ac3 track seems to keep the volume all at around the same level and is alot more confortable to listen too...what is h...

ok I left the material encoding the whole night, of which i encoded two versions (one with constant and one with variable). The other day when I encoded a sample chapter of the film the fps came out as 24.976 for one (variable) and 25 for the other (constant)... But after encoding the whole film and...

how come when i check the original vob with mediainfo it shows as 25fps but after conversion to a mp4 it comes out as 24.98?

dont i want to keep it at 25fps?

thanks

i find that vfr puts thinks out of sync when playing back on vlc or quick time so i have stuck with CFR...

any advice to the contray?

i just want the framerate to be the same as the original source material...

i play back on itunes, atv, iphone

I mean, is their some kind of rule of thumb i should be using? a preferable option?

thanks

which is best to use for pal dvds?

in the past i have had a bit of trouble with lip sync when using same as source (vfr?) so now i just use hard 25fps (cfr?)

am i doing the right thing...

this whole issue slightly confuses me.

any explanations/advice would be great received.

thanks

How do I know if it's already anamorphic? Won't cropping the black bars change all that?

should i use anamophic if im going to use the resulting encode as material for a avchd disc to play in a bluray playerr? or should i leave the dimensions untouched?

thanks

I'm all for high quality rips but 5 rf is waaaaaay over the top

ok thanks for your replies! so i should use dynaflashs advanced settings with the applt tv preset and it turn leave on decomb+detelecine on at all times right? isnt dynaflash's advanced settings for hd encoding for the 1st gen apple tv or are they suitable and better than the original string in the ...

If you're targeting both devices, you should use the "AppleTV" preset. The iPhone 4 is a more capable device, so you'll have to target the lowest common denominator. And yes, leave on decomb and deinterlace. i assume the apple tv preset will be very good quality for sd anyway right? is it...

as title....using 0.9.5 64 bit on mac

its for sd encodes from dvd.

should i use universal at 19 rf? or is their better preset?

also should i keep decomb and deinterlace on at all times (just incase they are need)?

thanks

sorry to bring this thread back but...

is it ok to use strict with the apple tv 1st gen?

thanks

the new apple tv can playback 720p content at an a lot higher birate than the 1st...

Yes I'm definitely doing that...

I'm stuck now

Subler can be used to add subtitles to movies post encode. http://code.google.com/p/subler/ I tried adding an srt sub to the m4v in subler, but itunes wont play back the file or even add it to its libary after the srt has been added...works in Quicktime though, which is strange... bug with itunes?

scrub that...seems to work on quick time on the mac. But when watched through apple tv the subs dont turn up

i found a way to hardcode subs (SRT files) into a mp4 but dunno if im aloud to mention it because its an outside program...but at least it saves having to use even more to make an MKV.

Thanks

looks like I will have to stick to srt's then...less than ideal.

Thanks for starting such a great thread Rodeo

yes i have already done that...i have a vobsub file already

Kk, well to repeat what my 1st post said....I have loaded a Bluray into Handbrake (its great to see it can now use blurays like it can use dvds, as Handbrake is now finding the separate titles and chapters in each title from Bluray inputs) and and now need a way to add a vob sub to it so i can burn ...

what happened to my first post that started the thread? :S
