HandBrake

I need to admit, that I adapted my x265 options a bit for HB 1.3.0 to use the advanced features that x265 3.2.1 brings, but for preset medium and CRF=19 I don't see such a massive increase in bitrate. I've encoded "Star Trek Into Darkness" once with 1.2.2 and once with 1.3.0: 1.2.2: size 1...

This is normal and expected? Yes, it is expected. The x265 team changed this here: https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/commits/b14834a9d1c1864ea7e94d9cfed4e33f37e767c6 Please also note, that in the newer version of x265 the way the slower and veryslow preset works has changed: http://x265.org/...

Sure, you could sign it yourself. The process is not trivial, and has non-technical requirements. If one has a Developer ID Application certificate from Apple, it is just a one liner: codesign -s "Developer ID Application: yourname" --deep -fv /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib I've tried i...

Description of problem or question: I've tried to build HandBrake master with the new Xcode 11 beta. But I'm seeing python issues. I don't think this is an actual HandBrake issue, that's why I'm not opening a bug and ask here instead. I'm not sure if this is something on my toolchain or an Apple bu...

There is a test about the impact of the T2 chip

around in a partly German, partly English version... Oh, wow. This shouldn't be partly English. On which places do you see English strings in the German localized version? The only English leftovers are the strings that are not localizable, because they are shared between macOS, Windows and Linux. ...

I know, 7.1 streams are currently a problem. This is, because ffmpeg does currently not support >6 channels in E-AC-3 audio encoder. See also https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/1085 and https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3595 The only option (on Mac) is to use the AAC encoder, which supports ...

They play fine on the Amcrest player but it does not batch encode and with 40+ videos im trying to use for a presentation friday and im stuck hand encoding all that. Just no time for it :-( Any help is greatly appreciated! Im gonna try it with FF next, see if my command prompt chops are still worki...

Really? Why?

Using HandBrake I mainly encode my videos in HEVC for my AppleTV. For one BluRay this takes on my MacBook Pro around 30 hours (this is already with medium preset, I don't want to go lower than that). In the doom9 forum I was told a faster CPU would help. But, I wonder what it the most important CPU ...

Thanks.

$ git pull
Already up to date.

But it was working by executing
$ git pull https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake
Than I've opened GitHub Desktop and clicked on "Fetch original". Now it is up to date.

I know, it is a very basic question, but I already was reading a lot, asked a bunch of peoples and I still can not solve it. I have made a branch of HandBrake some time ago. In the meantime it tells me "This branch is 224 commits behind HandBrake:master". Yes, sure it is, but how can I bri...

OK, thanks!

If one build its own HandBrake on Mac it is possible to choose between 3 different AAC encoders. The default CoreAudio AAC, ffmpeg AAC, and FDK AAC. In the HB documentation I read, the CoreAudio one has a better quality than the ffmpeg one. Is this sill valid since HandBrake switched to ffmpeg 4.0? ...

Is there any timeframe for this, maybe for 1.2.0? Currently I have my own local HB branch which I have localized. So I can decide which change I want to merge to this branch. Which will avoid breakings, more or less. By the way, is it allowed to distribute modified (localized) HandBrake builds? I kn...

OK, works now. Just forgotten to check a hidden checkbox. *sigh*

I would like to build a German localized HandBrake for macOS. So, I've cloned the English.lproj, renamed it to German.lproj and translated all xib files (WIP). I've registered the new locale by opening HandBrake.xcodeproj inside Xcode and than drag and dropped the German.lproj folder into the Xcode ...
