Re: Subtitle Scan...? (instead of 1 pass, it's doing 2!) ???

which requires an extra (but generally quick) pass through the video.
Except it's reading direction from the DVD, which slows it down quite a bit. It's another reason to rip first, then run handbrake.

Re: Editing chapters

Not within handbrake. There are utilities to edit chapters out there, though. mkvtoolnix comes with an editor for chapter tracks, but I've not used it more than to try it. You would then set the new chapter file as the chapter file for the video. Be aware that if you set a chapter change that does N...

Different settings will give different results.

Seeing the encode logs from the two sets of settings would be helpful. You've described one set, but not shown them.

Amazingly, computers go by methods involving numbers we humans don't think about. And multi-digit numbers sort differently if their digits are spread over different columns. As mduell points out, "1" comes before "2", but "10" also comes before "2", because th...

You've had word from one of the people (s55) who run the project. Who do you think is necessary to be "the Copyright holder"?

Or is your purpose to test the system, not to ask a question?

Re: How to Reinstate My License To Continue Using the HandBrake App If Violation of License Terms Happened?

The original installer is how most people get handbrake, even from the developers. I use it all the time, and I haven't had a copy of the source code since the last time I had to look something up. It's available, which is the important part.

Re: convert audio only

Handbrake is designed for converting video, and does audio because it is found in video tracks. So no, it doesn't "just do audio". There are several open source projects that can do "just audio", including ffmpeg. They're better fits for what you are looking for, because they can...

Re: Bug When Converting Multiple Files At Once

Handbrake does not use your "current settings" for batches. It reverts to the saved copy of the settings for anything past the current file. Whether this makes sense or not depends on your reasons for changing the settings.

Batches are created from the saved version of the settings.

Do you have an accurate way of determining the length before the encode is complete, without someone typing it in? Reading a part of a video does not definitively determine the length of it in time. The file name is set when the job is created, not when it's done, so setting the name before that is ...

Re: Episodic Series Output File Naming

Handbrake doesn't know the contents, other than the file name. If the file name contains the season and episode number, your inclusion of the title would show that. But it can't detect it within the file itself, and it doesn't break the title down into parts.

Are you reading directly from the copy-protected DVD, or through something that is removing the copy protection first? A lot of people add a third-party utility to read from DVDs, then are surprised when the new install does not recognize their forgotten 3-party code.

Re: Emulate the compression of this movie for my videos? testing settings

The people who created the copy allowed the compression utility to encode into it the commands necessary. They did not use handbrake, so the command line is not the same.

If it's important to emulate them, you would want to use the same commands on the same program.

Re: How to get correct title names of DVD titles/episodes in filenames?

Since it takes 3rd-party software to have handbrake "read" a DVD, it would take 3rd-party software to automatically name files based on what that 3rd-party software did.

So, probably not.
