HandBrake

I would be willing to put a bit of time into working on some code for this Um this would be a lot of work. It would certainly require more than "a bit of time," especially if you aren't already intimately familiar with libhb. I mean what you're saying, about doing it all in at the audio e...

Good tips re yasm compile but the increase in speed seems quite neglible. [...] For what its worth; here are the results on a dual opti 2ghz running redhat. Looks like you were just missing out on 3dnow, since the binary download was build with MMX and SSE2. So not so surprising it didn't help so m...

It's pretty consistently not happening on the first encode after starting ghb, and happening on subsequent encodes.

Maybe on the first time through it reads all zeros from outside the picture, so it comes out ok, or something?

Would it be possible to create an audio encoder that piped wav data through an external command, e.g. neroAacEnc? MacOS X and Linux/Unix both have Unix pipes that can be redirected easily, and I think Windows >= NT has pipes. Personally, I only care about using it on GNU/Linux, piping through Nero's...

lame is pretty safe. we use aoTuV vorbis, so, you're potentially hurting quality by using the stock libvorbis. x264 is patched so we can write keyframes at chapter markers. This helps out on certian players. But if it's not patched, the request for an I frame is just ignored, so it won't really hur...

Is there any chance to get the latest snapshot also for Linux? It's available for Windows and two flavors of Mac - Is this a subtle hint that Linux support is passing away? I compiled the last several versions from svn and they just don't work for me at all - no need to go into details. Latest SVN ...

pcordes, do you mean the "slower" setting, because there is no slowest. If so, I haven't been able to reproduce what your seeing. An activity log would help out a lot. Yes, I meant "slower"; sorry for the confusion. I'll post an Activity.log in a few minutes. Here it is: [17:30:...

another bug:
deinterlace:slowest works fine on the first encode after starting ghb. On subsequent encodes, the bottom few lines of the output video are green and flickering (with none of the original picture beneath that).

I noticed a problem with x264 encoding options in the GUI. analysis=all doesn't actually do that if the selected profile doesn't include x264_options=8x8dct (or you can put that in the custom x264 options text field, but nothing gives you any indication that you should.) It seems that the default &q...

I want to use the shared libs from Ubuntu, except for x264. Uh, good luck with that. You realize that HB applies all sorts of patches to the libs it uses and requires very specific versions of, say, mpeg4ip to even compile? It's not like we use static libs at specific versions just to be difficult....

There are several patches floating around for this (although most of them attempt to use dynamic libs not static). Ok, I'll take a look. I want to use the shared libs from Ubuntu, except for x264. It wouldn't really be that hard to do. However, we do have a much more up-to-date version of x264 in t...

Does anyone use HandBrake with a libx264.a from /usr/local/lib (for example), instead of letting it use the version of x264 that HB downloads during its build? HandBrake's x264 tarball is a bit out of date compared to the latest x264 git tree. (It's not that old, though: contrib/patch-x264-aq.patch ...

I have a couple of DVD's, The Goonies for example, that have video commentary tracks. Is there a way to encode the video and audio from the movie index with the audio from the commentary index to the same file? Josh. Use mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile foo.ac3 to dump the audio, then use mkvmerge to m...

It's great to have a GUI for a decent encoder. I found a minor bug: If you click in the log (Activity) window, new log messages appear where you clicked, instead of at the end of the log. You're probably using a text box widget, and clicking moves the cursor. I clicked in the first place so the wind...
