HandBrake

Very cool! that's outside of my technical expertise, but I kind-of got the same solution going for me. I started using MeGUI with an updated ffdshow (and manually configured to use libavcodec and not WMV9 since this is Server 2003 and that caused issues) and was able to complete a transcode from the...

I should have clarified, go from a VC1 video source in an M2TS to an H264 video source in an MKV?

Those details mater.

Understandable, bugs are what they are.

I'm not terribly familiar with other encoding packages. If there one you can recommend to go from an HD M2TS to MKV?

Thanks!

Update: MP4 container too.

I think this is a continuation of this issue , but since this is a new build and an updated M2TS rip I thought I should update, Also, I have an error log from Windows App Log. So it's still the same issue, it crashes at some indeterminate point in the rip. I have tried this on Win7 and Win2003 so fa...

Ok, I'll see if I can grab a Mac next week from work.

I'll try converting HD DVDs to M2TS a few different ways this weekend as well, and see if it's a shortcoming in ClownBD configs.

I don't see what the confusion is, in 4 tests, the result were: Test 1) 90MB file Test 2) No file Test 3) 1GB file Test 4) 256MB file So what I said does not contradict. This is on two different machines, and both of them have no heat issues. I can also encode SD content all day long, it's only HD c...

That sounds about right to me, too. Handbrake for the most part is running like a champ on Win7 for me.

Plus, you should totally upgrade to the release build, it adds some nice polish over the RC.

Ok, first note, dropping to 720p worked like a champ as far as playback is concerned. Thanks for that! That said, I tried adding verbose logging, but I don't think I did it right, as there were no extra logs in the Handbrake Logs folder, and the encode is still dropping at random times. So far I've ...

Ah! Thanks for the clarification. I was trying to drop the bit-rate, thinking that would be the best method to not overtax the CPU. i'll try dropping to 720p.

Cool, I'll be sure to add a logging level next time I try. I'm making another M2TS file of 12 Monkeys, as I think I made some settings mistakes the first time around. Tangent, what's generally a good bitrate to re-encode HD DVD to make it playable on an Athlon X2 3800+? I tried setting to a fixed si...

Hmm, interesting. As far as Win7 goes, I've done a few seasons of Futurama with the new Handbrake build with no issues, but that's just regular DVD rips, and much shorter encodes. As far as ClownBD, it's entirely possible it's something there, I'll see if I can explore more avenues there, but I don'...

Ok, I am not sure if this is bug report-worthy yet, so I thought I'd start here. I ripped the 12 Monkeys HD-DVD to M2TS using ClownBD. I then planned on converting that M2TS to an MKV. Well, about an hour into the encode, the console quit. and I don't see an error in the event log. I have no resulta...

Grabbing now, looking forward to breaking things and reporting bugs!

So would you suggest moving to M4V or OGM as an alternative for now?

I don't so, because I use SlySoft's product instead and I am getting the same issue here: http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10915

Here is the log from a Windows Server 2003 machine as well. ### Windows GUI 0.9.3 2008112300 ### Running: Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2 ### ### CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 920 Processor ### Ram: 2047 MB ### Screen: 1024x768 ### Temp Dir: C:\Documents and Settings\Wayne\Local Settings\Te...

Here's another example I just did in case it helps. ### Windows GUI 0.9.3 2008112300 ### Running: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7100.0 ### ### CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ ### Ram: 4094 MB ### Screen: 1920x1200 ### Temp Dir: C:\Users\Wayne\AppData\Local\Temp\ ### Install Dir: C:\Pr...

So I used ClownBD and got what appears to be a good M2TS conversion of my movie, but I'm getting a stack dump from HB trying to convert that M2TS to MKV. I posted the exact dump in the Windows support forum, but I thought people in this thread might have seen stuff like that before. Any suggestions?

You got it! ### Windows GUI 0.9.3 2008112300 ### Running: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7100.0 ### ### CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ ### Ram: 4094 MB ### Screen: 1920x1200 ### Temp Dir: C:\Users\Wayne\AppData\Local\Temp\ ### Install Dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\HandBrake ### Data Dir...

Here it is. Everything before this is just regular report stuff. As you can see, this one was running and I killed it at 9:03. [08:55:45] mpeg2: "" (5) at frame 32208 time 118410512 [08:56:00] 1348.813056s: Video -> Film [08:56:02] sync: adding 79 ms of silence to audio 0 start 121382654, ...

So I keep randomly having encoding tasks hanging at 1 second remaining. There's no error, nothing is "hung", everything is responding normally, but the task stops at 1 second and no output file is made. I'm doing regular Video_TS folders with various settings, nothing fancy. Without any er...

Ok, so I've been using Clerks 2 as my baseline for Converting HD DVDs. It seems to have all the trouble. So I have run into trouble again. I used ClownBD to make the M2TS of Clerks 2, and that seemed to go ok. Then, when I start to use HB on it, I get this stackdump from the CLI Exception: STATUS_AC...

I'm testing out the new release of Handbrake and it appears I've found my first issue. Notice, I'm not an expert Handbrake user, so I could be doing something stupid, but I did try very hard to avoid being "that guy" First off, the stack dump: 404 [sig] HandBrakeCLI 2060 open_stackdumpfile...
