HandBrake

Not really. Once the copy protection is removed, the it comes down to how the distributor authored the disk. Fortunately, it's simple enough to queue up the episodes, once you know which chapters are which. You load the title, and tell handbrake chapters (in this case) 1 through 5, edit the output f...

In addition to your logs for both scenarios, are you using a customized preset, or one of the stock presets?

That is one way to author a DVD or BD - the "episodes" are actually menu items that point to specific chapters within the larger file, or may be a "play list" that groups certain chapters together. Some ripping programs can figure out MOST such schemes, but there is no guarantee ...

When you did the original rip, did MakeMKV mention any audio sync issues? Normally, it will try to fix up minor differences between the audio and video tracks, but handbrake is saying the one track has very large sync issues.

A google search for "CLSID 56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097C9A090" comes up with a lot of hits, including:

Detelecine doesn't do deinterlacing - it converts a back from 30/60 fps to where the video was originally, usually 24fps (nominal), by removing the frames that were added by the telecine process.

If you want to get rid of interlacing, that is deinterlace or decomb.

Because QT doesn't support graphic subtitles like you find on DVDs and Blurays (VOBSUB and PGS, respectively).

That is because handbrake is not intended as a ripper, so it does not remove copy protection. There have been 3rd-party add-ons to enable decryption, but they are easily broken, and are not supported here. You need to use something intended for ripping, to create files that handbrake can handle. The...

If the decoder can't figure out the layout of the file, there is not much handbrake can do with it. There are many things that are called AVI files that do not meet any particular standard. Some cameras claim to output AVI files, but require a conversion utility to make their AVI files playable by &...

"Suddenly stopped working" could be because of a number of factors. Windows could chose not to allow the DLL to load, or a registry glitch could forget where it is located. An antivirus program could get a burr under its saddle during a recent update and block it as a suspicious program. T...

30fps is a nominal figure, not exact. The time base STANDARD is a fraction off. As such, there will be some "jitter" as the frame-to-frame timing approximates the 1/30th of a second.

29.996 or 29.997 IS the standard, because of this.

ERROR: avio_open2 failed, errno -21 A search for "Mac error -21" in Google comes up with many responses. The first one lists: badUnitErr = -21, /*I/O System Errors*/ Which means OS X is having issue with opening a file. With such a small section of the log, it is difficult to guess at whe...

As mentioned, you've given no information that would allow anyone here to answer your question. Most likely, your TV isn't compatible with SRT subtitles, but we know nothing about your handbrake configuration during the encode, or the movie itself, to point you toward any solution. This is why there...

Search for "mkvtoolnix" and download the Mac version. Using mkvmerge, you can create an MKV file that contains both tracks, then handbrake can process that in to an mp4 file.

For most people, making full use of the CPU is the desired option. Handbrake actually runs at a reduced priority, so other tasks CAN use the CPU, but it will run at full speed if there is no normal-priority task to get in the way. Any machine you plan on doing encoding on should be "up to the t...

Have you tried using one of the Apple presets?

Quicktime is a very limited application. There are reasons for special presets to create files for it.

"This is not a new laptop."

So, it's old and has a dust-filled CPU cooling system?

It would appear that you have permissions set incorrectly for your user "home" directory, so handbrake can't write to the settings.xml file. Are you trying to launch handbrake as a different user than you installed it under?

Not EVERYTHING; handbrake 0.10.x preserves the "title" metadata, whether you want it to or not.

After you do the encode, click on Activity log, then "Open Log Directory". The most recent encode will be the newest file that has a name like "last_encode_log" followed by a number, ending in ".txt". The "large file size" is only an issue when a file exceeds ...

Without logs, everything is a guess. Are you trying to rip directly from the DVD, or are you using a ripping utility to get the video files onto disk? Ripping from optical media is tricky - the operating system has to acknowledge that the disk is there before anything can happen. If it doesn't, it c...
