HandBrake

I've done some more work on this GUI to bring it closer to feature-parity with the others. Now the presets are imported from an xml (plist) file in the same way as the other guis. This should allow easier sharing of presets. The presets can be imported from a file but can't currently be exported - t...

The Qt GUI isn't in svn, so that's gonna be difficult, but I guess you could use the closest matching svn number.

Hi all, The Qt GUI code is still being developed, but I will admit rather slowly. I have enabled libdvdnav and added the appropriate configuration options for it. Saving custom presets now works, and the whole saved encode feature is working very nicely. I'm currently looking into changes so the pre...

jbrjake: Thanks for filling me in. I had thought for a while that IRC was an important part of this project, but a number of times I've gone on there and there's been very little activity (especially on the dev channel). Also I don't have the ability to post to the dev channel. I didn't realise it w...

IMO not having an activity log counts as a major issue...not sure how you expect to get useful feedback without one. jbrjake: Please give me a definitive list of all the things you need me to do before you will allow my code into svn. I see no reason why I shouldn't be working on the code directly ...

Hi all, So the new GUI code is looking much better. Now you can reload an encode from the queue back to the GUI to change it. I have fixed all of the major issues (as far as I'm concerned). There are still missing features (like the activity log) but these are simple to fix. There are probably also ...

I've just completed a massive overhaul of the Qt GUI code so that it has some more of the features of the other GUIs. New features: Encodes are stored in your settings so that if there is a crash or you want to turn your computer off and come back later, they're all still there. Soon to come: Reload...

For anyone trying to compile the gui there are a few things you should know: The build system has changed significantly (both in svn and in the git sources for the new Qt4 Gui). You will need to reconfigure the build for this new system by following the instructions in 00-Building--*.txt. The Qt4 Gu...

I got the new code (with live preview) to work on mac!

Live preview is much nicer now.
There are pause, play and stop buttons, a position slider and a volume slider. What more do you need?

gonza, you were asking recently on irc how presets are stored. I don't know if you got the answer you were looking for. On the mac, the defaults are in code and then get written to a plist file (xml). In the gtk gui, I use the same plist format that the mac saves it's presets in. There may be minor...

I've made a basic player window which will play the preview encode using Phonon. Still no options etc. but it should allow for live preview on Linux, Mac and Windows using the same codebase. With a bit of polish this should be a very nice feature

Ok, so I have implemented a very crude "live preview" feature. It's not yet live, and there are no options available to the user. Basically there's a checkbox "Preview" which will tell HB to encode only a minute of the video instead of the whole thing, and outputs it as though it...

So I've done quite a bit more work on this. I tried for quite some time to get the GUI to compile on Windows, but since HB doesn't yet build with MinGW that wasn't possible... You can see more info on that here: http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9786 I have updated the presets to be ...

Hi all, I've been trying to get HandBrake to build using MinGW so that I can compile my new Qt GUI under windows. Here's the rationale: Qt on Windows is built using MinGW (or MSVC, but let's leave that alone for now) MinGW compliation produces native Windows code (unlike cygwin which uses the cygwin...

I have just pushed up some changes which bring the Qt GUI a little closer to feature parity with the other GUIs.


Changes:
Fix up x264 options - remove old options and add in new ones.
Fix up filter options

Obviously there are still a bunch of things that need doing. Any help is appreciated.

Is the libhb API documented anywhere by the way?

There's doxy comments for a number of the functions you use. Most of non-doxied code is heavily commented as well. The CLI functions as a primer in how the API works. There are technical documents on the wiki explaining some workflow stuff.

Cheers

In my defence I've been on holidays since October. I posted the most recent update a few days after I got back from a friends place and I'm waiting for my internet connection at my new place so I can continue. Your GUI still has yet to catch up with 0.9.3, let alone the current code base. Everywhere...

An 0.9.3 interface wouldn't even compile against SVN head due to the API changes Correction: Sorry, I see you made the bare minimum changes necessary to get it compiling against last month's code, in your git repo branch... You sound [Censored] off that I'm trying to contribute to your project. I'v...

I was considering making it a full-blown KDE application rather than just a Qt one. Anyone interested in that? What would you gain from this? Personally I don't see any reason to have the additional overhead. There are a few reasons I was considering it. One was to make use of the KDE libraries, so...

Hey gonza, I'll try compiling the new code later today, do some testing, and let you know how it turns out. I too would like to see your additions added to SVN. Even if your code is slightly out of date, at least it's more recent than what's in there right now! :wink: Thanks, that'd be great. IIRC,...

Ok, so I updated my source with the latest changes from svn, made a few changes to my code and got it to compile. By no means does this mean that all of the changes between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3 are working in this gui but at least people can start testing. The procedure should still be as follows: git cl...

Hi all. I'm back from holidays now and I noticed that Handbrake has released version 0.9.3 with some awesome new features (the most significant to me is the ability to use any file as input). I'm currently in the process of updating the Qt4 gui for the new version of libhb. I have come up with a lis...

Hey there... I did a bunch of work last year making the qt4 gui feature complete. The code is currently NOT in svn but in a git repository. See this thread for instructions on how to access it. http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6388&p=39003&hilit=qhandbrake#p39003 Note: The ...
