HandBrake

I got a little bored, and thought "How hard could Theora be?" Well, here it is. Update: New patch for the latest svn. Shouldn't have any patch problems with libhb/Makefile now. This also includes dynaflash's xcode changes so you can build on Mac. Now one patch that only adds Theora. This a...

Here is a patch for per-track audio configuration. It allows much more fancy things than are currently possible with the current audio setup. Eg: AC3 for the main track, with the commentary track encoded in AAC with a higher DRC, and lower sample rate. Basically everything for an audio track is per-...

The whole point of b-frames is that you *don't* use PTS timecodes, you use DTS timecodes and signal the PTS timecodes through the render offset. Even x264cli's muxer follows that: uint64_t dts = (uint64_t)p_mp4->i_numframe * p_mp4->i_time_inc; uint64_t pts = (uint64_t)p_picture->i_pts; int32_t offs...

My deepest apologies. I am afraid I must inform you that I am the fool who chose such a deplorably demanding and ill-phrased message for the notice. Geeze, how could you have been so inconsiderate, the man was just trying to enjoy his cocktail. You should really be more considerate of others when y...

Long ago I noticed that some x264 encodes (in mp4 or mkv) don't play properly in MPlayer. I eventually narrowed this down to the combination of ref >= 4, bframes >= 2, b-pyramid, and 8x8dct. Disabling (or lowering ref and bframes) caused it to go away. I began to suspect this was caused by using inc...

I'm not sure if it is possible, but can we get an srt output from a video_ts output or is it all OCR ... and thus just too flaky for putting it in? OCR If that's the case, is there a way we can change the font on forced subs? I find the Handbrake font is just awful and would prefer to hardcode a cl...

Hello. I've been wanting to get proper vobsub ripping into HandBrake for a while, and finally took a stab a coding it up. The following patch is based on a mix of the windows VSRip source code, the subtitle4linux source, and custom tweaks based information about the IFO file format. Great to see so...

Any specific change you mean by your why? If you mean it generally: -CSS support deactivated because its illegal in some countries like germany -One option (enable-mmx for mpeg4ip) should give slightly better performance -all other changes should decrease the binary size 1) CSS support is an ongoin...

Daan, thanks for reporting this!

Just wondering, though, what file format were you using?
If you were using mp4, could do a test for me with mkv or vice-versa?

What settings are you using? The command line you used would be very helpful.

It appears to be already fixed, and will go into svn soon from saintdev: . I'm pretty sure I already found this and fixed it in my local repo. Actually no that's not what I meant. I'm not experienceing this so I'm not sure if it IS fixed or not. Plus this would be an issue with libmkv, not with any...

@th3rmite - It would be fantastic if you could post diff's for the files you've modified. I may be able to incorporate the changes with a simple, Select Operating System option. Personally I would prefer more effort going into the QT GUI, or reviving the GTK GUI. As these can interface directly wit...

Any reason why?

Because that's the way titer coded it, and we haven't wanted to change it.

yes

Glad to see this had landed :) On a side note x264 has implement multithreaded me=esa not that esa is better the uhm but for those crazy nutty people who does use esa from time to time our encode times might improve slightly soon :) Actually it hasn't. That was a completely errant commit by myself....

Van, quick question about the x264 patch. Does it have to be an IDR frame for QuickTime to behave properly, or can you use an I frame? I'm just worried about the impact to coding efficiency this patch will cause for those of us that don't use QuickTime. Especially if there's an I (or IDR) frame just...

@sr55 "The scanning for sure won't work. The query to launch the CLI will need to be changed." That's for sure. I just spent the last two and a half hours hacking on it. I change some params and got it to scan the DVD, the problem is that HandBrakeCLI is returning the output on stderr ins...

Because libvorbis isn't very well optimized....

Thanks, Saintdev. I think I was confused by all the different Dolbys. So: the receiver detects Dolby Digital/AC3, which is usually 5.1 or 2.0 (which can have matrixed Dolby Surround information in it); but AAC is essentially analog stereo which is encoded with channel information that can be decode...

Try setting the audio tracks correctly. -a 1,2,3,4,5 Wow, you of all people missed it?? -f mp4 -e x264 -b 1500 -2 -E ac3 AC3 is not a valid audio codec for mp4 files! I'm surprised VLC plays the file. You have to use AAC audio with mp4 file format. And as jbrjake said in order to have all the audio...

I notice there seems to be a contradiction between the Wiki Preset info and what appears in the Advanced tab of the GUI. All of the sub pixel motion estimation values are listed as subme in the wiki and subq in the GUI. The mencoder page http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-x264.html seem...

Hi guys When I rip to AAC audio, converting the 5.1 audio track to Dolby Pro Logic II (or Dolby Surround), my receiver (an Onkyo 605) identifies the input as PCM and doesn't seem to pick up the fact that it's got Dolby encoding in it. Should I expect anything different, or is that just how the AAC ...

well now it's september and we still have no linux gui... but anyway i am on gnome/xfce and prefer a gtk gui. i have done some complex gtkglade gui's before. but only in conjunction with python. if there is interest, i'll begin looking into it... but i have some questions : - need it be C ? nowaday...

Yeah faac encoding is only CBR with HandBrake, which is too bad, as the "quality setting" encoding ( -q xx ) with faac is where it really shines. Lots of the faac developers are now employed by Nero and working on their AAC encoder. EDIT: Looks like the 160 barrier could possibly be becau...

Thanks for reporting this, I'm looking into it. Seems to be something with chapters. It'll work just fine if you disable chapter markers. I just wanted to add that I am having the same problem with my Intel Core Duo Powerbook. With chapters enabled, Handbrake hangs at the "muxing" message...
