HandBrake

The tip about CCExtractor looks like the perfect answer to pull out the digital captions track and convert it to srt. Now I will have to study how to compile it for my Mac! Thanks for the tip!

OK, I appreciate the suggested workarounds.

is there any way to take the OTA digital English closed captions and get Handbrake to convert it to an optional Subtitle?

I tried one time and when I turn on Subtitles, it shows gibberish.

The audio tracks in VLC are not in the same order as Handbrake: [I can't seem to find a way to insert screenshots for you to see] And I am trying to avoid "trial and error" even if only for one minute. Seven files and 3 audio tracks means as many as 21 trials just for this project. These p...

Description of problem or question: I use a ChannelMaster DVR+ to digitize OTA broadcasts that results in a ".TS" file. I use Handbrake to transcode these files for play using the "Device" Preset of either Apple 1080p30 Surround or Apple 720p30 Surround depending upon the origin...

Wow: that's interesting!

It was 9 years ago, I was doing my research and moderated a panel on "Piracy - can we compete with free?" in 2010.

There are specialized tools for that, such as MakeMKV, which handle most forms of copy protection.

Does that mean the link to VLC's libraries have been severed?

Description of problem or question: I have a DVD-R with audio apparently out of sync when I play it in my DVD Player or when I play the resulting Handbrake transcode of it. Can I use Handbrake to resync it during the transcode process? Thank you. Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): Hand...

Handbrake does not have the ability to apply an offset to an audio stream. Except where it does. Are you holding back the solution out of spite? No, but without the details I can't even tell if you've already tried HB's limited abilities to fix your issue. I have not tried HB; I misspoke. Are you s...

The audio is out of sync on the DVD as played on my DVD player and my BluRay player and in both DVD Player and MPEG Streamclip on my Mac. I misspoke when I discussed the past use of Handbrake. My question is whether or not when transcoding with Handbrake, there is the ability to adjust the audio and...

I am not asking for support on the past use of Handbrake. I want to know how to use Handbrake to put an audio track in sync with its video track when it is slightly off I see you have not read the linked document at the top of every page. Can't have an activity report when there is no use of Handbr...

Thank you for your well informed reply Woodstock!

Handbrake has adjustments for (some) subtitle timing. Audio, though, should best be done with an editor.

Yes I am certain it is actually out of sync

I transcoded the DVD using Handbrake and both copies are out of sync. It is a small, subtitle difference.

What adjustments can I use in Handbrake?

I found a Mac app: MP4Joiner and it works perfectly to piece together the 28 minute segments that HDML Cloner Box transcodes into. And then Handbrake correctly transcodes it for my AppleTV with perfect audio sync. PROBLEM SOLVED: I can now add streaming content and content from my HDMI devices to my...

OK: here is the best way to do this and have NO audio sync problems after Handbrake:

I found MP4Joiner for the Mac and it works easily, relatively quickly and seamlessly to join the files.

Then I use HandBrake to convert to AppleTV and get one converted file.

Thank you: I will try it and report back.

Thank you, but the output of the HDML Cloner Box is mp4; not MKV

And there is the rub: Getting a "combiner" that will keep the audio in sync. The Windows software that comes with the HDML Cloner Box seems to suffer from audio out of sync problems.

What do you recommend: Windows or Mac?

Description of problem or question: Does HandBrake have the capability to combine files? Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): The HDML Cloner Box with a USB memory stick formatted for MSDOS Fat will break 720p content at approximately each 27 minutes into separate files as it digitizes i...

NEVER MIND!

I rebooted iTunes and the AppleTV and now it is playing just fine!

Thanks!

Description of problem or question Upgraded HDML Cloner Box to latest firmware and digitization seems to now work more cleanly.
