HandBrake

Utilizing Classic default preset. Is there any indication (even the AL) within HB that would be a tell tale sign of a long mux after the initial conversion? Good gawd..no movie is worth sitting and having to wait in what I imagine is a real time mux of the films actual run time. Many thanks to a won...

I'll play, although mine are not specifically in ATV format, they are ripped for my iPod(s) and that format will work on the ATV: Movies: 629, 36.8 Days, 456.28Gb TV Shows: 3154 Episodes (59 TV Shows/Series), 801.59Gb ..and growing as I type this. All spread across 4 500Gb SATA II drives (upgrading...

Does it work with DVD Decrypter? To add to what I said above, English subtitles were selected. Ok, I got it to work with DVD Decrypter v3.5.4.0 and Daemon Tools Lite v4.12.3 using this method: 1. Rip the DVD using DVDD via ISO Read mode with these settings: http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=...

Getting the subtitles in Pan's Labyrinth was something of a challenge when the DVD came out. Using CloneDVD to rip and selecting Preserve Menu when you do so seems to be the recommended solution. Does DVDFab5 or DVDDecrypter have a similar function or would you have to download the trial version of...

Have you tried ripping the DVD with DVD Decrypter?

Where would you like me to move it?

Thought I'd start a conversation about who is bigger?! I keep my HB converted "flims" (Steve Martin hush parody) on a secondary internal 2TB SATA RAID configuration. Currently (according to iTunes), I have converted 323 titles for a total of 24.2 days playtime occupying 425.44 GB. I never ...

You can't have your cake and eat it too if your input is 4:3 and your output is 16:9. You are either willing to crop the source (destroying the original AR), live with the black bars (which it sounds like you don't want to), or stretch the output to 16:9 (again destroying the original AR, and disto...

Keeping the films aspect ratio but trying to fill as much screen as possible. Or is that the best/largest? 576x432?

thanks for your time.

As the subject implies what would be a good classic preset screen size for my old movies that have a 1.33 ratio to use with ATV (mp4)? I'm currently using 576x432. Or did I nail it? hehe

I've ran into the same problem after encoding over 100+ movies in the "classic" mode but I decrypt my vob files to my desktop first. Hope there wasn't some update we weren't aware of that modified something recently =O I have changed my entire system to a duo quad core loaded with 4 gigs o...

any Windows software that is capable of adding the Ratings field? (Without breaking the rest of the metadata) I use tagger.jar in the XP enviorment. Just make sure the hard drive you have this file installed on is constantly defragmented or i'tll slow things greatly. Link: http://apaseltiner.google...

Thanks for the speedy and knowledgeable reply.

Any suggestions for a ripper that might?

Thanks again

Hey there gang. Simple question:

I use DVD Decrypter IFO mode to rip the main movie off my DVD's. How can I get DVDD to save the chapter information for HB to see and utilize during a conversion?

Many thanks

Based on some of your speed results I think I have to count my blessings as I have an older P4 2.6g cpu w hyperthreading with 1 gig of ram operating at 533mhz and my average fps on an atv preset to mp4/aac is 85.85...muxing is a diff story :D Am I seeing these speed results because of the 10,000 rpm...

Ok. XP machine trying to encode with hb atv preset via mp4/aac and I can't get atv to see/play it: auto crop, anamorphic unchecked and constant quality set to 90%...what did I do wrong? Everything falls within atv's specs :( [13:32:24] hb_init: checking cpu count [13:32:24] hb_init: starting libhb t...

Or, you know, you could just let HandBrake calculate the aspect ratio itself, with anamorphic turned off. 512? Why are you downscaling so much? You can use a width of 720 for any widescreen 1:1 par PAL content in MPEG-4, and a width of 640 for fullscreen. And aspect ratios are not exactly difficult...

Perhaps this can help anyone that has gone down that windy lonely road: 720 x 304 - 2.35:1 (Anamorphic = thicker letterbox bars) 624 x 336 - 1.85:1 (Academy Flat = thinner letterbox bars) 624 x 352 - 1.78:1 (16x9/U.S. Digital Television = thinest letterbox bars) 512 x 384 - 1.33:1 (4x3/NTSC Analog T...

Hey gang. Just wanted to know a good resize conversion for 720x576 that the Apple TV will accept in MPEG4/AAC? Are there any good online resources for this type of question? Thanks kindly =D

I think I found the concrete answers to all my questions via ATV spec sheet: Video formats supported H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at ...

Did you read what he said? Look at your vertical resolutions. They are beyond Apple TV's capabilities for MPEG-4 video.
