HandBrake

will test that shortly.. can you tell me what those two do?

so this is with the new subler.. interestingly, it behaves exactly as i had with ffmpeg.. plays fine on the non-digital appletv, but on the digitally hooked up appletv, it plays with no audio. argh..

Tried that as well, the file is created fine -- but theres no difference in the audio playback issues. Still works on the appletv without a receiver hooked up, and doesnt work on my appletv with a digital receiver.

Ok, I feel like I'm close ... but its not quite working. I can get ffmpeg to: a) 'copy' the video and audio streams as-is into a new file: this produces a playable file, on my appletv hooked up to a reciever. obviously, no help to the appletv that can't pass the ac3 signal anywhere b) 'copy' the vid...

argh i did a bit more digging.. it appears that the movies that fail somehow only ended up with an AC3 audio track, and nothing else. im guessing this is why the failure occurs -- if i dont have a device hooked up that can play the AC3 track, atv just fails. if thats the case... any thoughts on a wa...

So I've got 2 AppleTV 2's in my house... I have one hooked up to a full entertainment center, with a proper receiver that supports everything. It works great. All of my videos, HD, not HD, etc work perfect. The movies with multiple tracks (Dolby Digital 5.1) work perfect. However, I got a second uni...

Really? MetaZ looks like a meta-data editor... I'm looking for a way to split a good move up by chapters into separate movie files.

I've got a series of DVDs that I've ripped that break up their episodes by chapter marks. Rather than re-encode them, I'd like to break up the existing files via their chapters. Is there a way to do that, without re-encoding? Something LIkE HandBrakeCLI -i <input m4v> -c 1,2,3,4 -o episode1.m4v (but...

So at least a handfull of people have reported that *SOME* of their rips are unable to get Album Art set... I've seen this in about 25% of my rips. You try to set it, and the image flashes, and then goes back to whatever was there before. Re-importing the file into iTunes doesnt help. Though there a...

If you read the original post, thats the proceedure we're following. Like I mentioned before, this problem only happens on about 20% of the videos I rip. The other ones work just perfect....

that hasn't fixed it for me ... same symptom after removing and re-inserting the file.

I'm also running into this problem with the AppleTV preset, CRF set to 74% and the 5.1 AC3 Audio -> DPL II settings. About 1 in 5 movies will not let me set album art -- they do exactly as the original poster said. I can set the art, and when I hit OK or Next, Cover Flow flashes and then goes back t...

That's great news... the fix I had been hoping for is a 'codec' addon to the ATV that will allow AC3 passthrough. Combine that with a .m4v file with the original MPEG2 stream in it from a DVD and you end up with a VERY quick ripping process to have full-quality DVD files play on an AppleTV. The real...

When you start talking about storage for a media library full of movies, even well compressed x264 movies, a true backup simply isn't a viable option for home users. What I do is that I always buy drives in pair. So I got two 500GB external drives instead of just one. But if you really like swappin...

One, I've read that the present Mediafork .8 beta has broken the ability to add a second audio track for the time being (I haven't tested this, just read about it), so that will need to be re-enabled and is scheduled for Handbrake .8.5. Second audio track was fixed some time ago in the svn courtesy...

maurj, great job so far! I'm echoing the other comments... the DPL I and DPL II worked just great. It'd be nice to try to add in the LFE channel to the DPL II stream, but 5.0 is still pretty good. My Denon does a good job of 'faking' the LFE channel anyways. As i understand it, when the DPL stuff go...

Airport Express doesnt have eSata and I wanted it to be available to the whole network, even when my Mac Mini is down. Ya, that is true, I forgot you said you had it hooked up to that. I just couldn't bring myself to hobble the system with USB though, it's just to slow. I beg to differ... USB 2.0 =...

I've got an Apple Airport Extreme with Air Disk enabled sharing my Sans Digital 2TB RAID array. It's connected via USB and has a fully managed internal RAID system that the Airport doesnt have to think about. 5 500GB Drives in RAID 5 = 2 TB of useable Raw space, 1.8TB of formatted space. Sans Digita...

Your right... I saw the 'beta' page and thought that was the only way to get access. What's the difference between the Beta's and the source code? Uh...that the source code is the latest code? If you want to know the details of what's changed since 0.8.0b1, it's all in the Trac timeline... Sorry, i...

Ok here are some more tests... Using: 1) Dolby Digital PLII Cinema: Front Left, Front Center and Front Right are all clear and perfect. Surrount Left and Surround Right get mixed into the front speakers 2) Using "5.1 Channel" (not really sure what standard that is): Front Left, Center, Fro...

Intersting, thanks for the test file! It looks like on my system, the AppleTV is outputting an AL24 Digital signal with 2 tracks -- Left and Right. No center, no sub, nothing. My Denon is set to just play the data as it comes in, without any ProLogic or other conversions...
