HandBrake

Handbrakes mkv's don't have cue markers. It's not required by the mkv specification to have them. Without them, mediaplayers have to seek to points in the file. This takes time.

Remux with mkvmerge. - It'll add cue markers.

Nope, No idea.

There are settings which will drop your encoding speed down to 0.1fps so yeh, 1 small setting being changed could cause that.

The GUI doesn't baby the user with 100% error detection. Most folk can read. Their failure to do so is their problem.
The code to impliment it is a bit of a pain due to the gui design atm which is why I havn't bothered. Didn't see the point.
The possible combinations are documented here

Please do try and break this. I want to know about any / all GUI bugs.

Core 2 Chips are hugely faster. Especially compared to the lower clocked parts in the older iMacs. 6fps may well be normal.
Assuming your on 10.5, the next version (0.9.2) has an updated x264 which has a number of optimisations for G5's. You may see a few fps increase then.

No and Wrong. (unless your using really old hardware that is) Even then, it won't match Handbrake for quality. Search first, ask questions later.

However, I would argue that you are not in any way obliged to support Handbrake anyway, so if some moron comes in ranting about XXX version not working, and it's not an official build, you can chose to ignore that! And how will we know if someone is even using it? Most people come in, don't even po...

It's open source. Handbrake is not developed by a company. Just a group of enthuasist programmers.

Ask your question on the forum and someone may help.

See http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2741 for details on how best to ask questions.

I don't think so. To make matters worse, its not a consistent problem. I find ISOs and direct rips are the worst offenders. with 3 outa 4 times on the same source failing. Probably because there is no DVD drive bottleneck. You can direct pipe from the CLI straight into a text file fine however the C...

Think logically, How are we supposed to know how long it takes? a) We have no idea what hardware is inside your computer. You could be using some old machine thats 8 years old, or a brand new top of the range machine. Both yeilding very different encode times. b) We have no idea what settings, filte...

You should be ok then

Doing a re-encode makes 0 difference. The file is 100% identical. HandBrake does not support any DRM. You can literally just change the extension from mp4 to m4v and vice versa.

All M4V is, is a file extension which quicktime looks for to tell it to turn on Chapters Support

Depends on what you want to do.

AC3 is passed through straight from the DVD so the quality doesn't change. Re-compression to AAC reduces filesize but also reduces quality. If filesize isn't an issue, no reason you shouldn't use AC3 unless you want to throw the video on a mobile device.

Yeh, it should do. XP still supports 32bit Applications whereas Windows server on an Itanium chip may not.

1. Why won't handbrake allow me to input into either the width/height boxes? I know the aspect ratio must be kept constant, but it simply doesn't accept numbers despite being an input box. You have anamorphic enabled. 2. When testing picture cleanup (detelecine, deblock, deinterlace and denoise), i...

@siromega - I already have code that allows a progress bar in both Queue and main window. The problem is it's not any use. .NET based code can't handle sub-second inputs without causing process stalls on the CLI which in turn leads to mild to moderate corruption through the video. Your welcome to tr...

0.9.2 will be 10.5 only and therefore won't run on a G3 and won't run on a G4 any slower than 867 MHz so you can forget any fixes for older machines. In other words, both your G3 and 700MHz G4 will not be able to run 0.9.2

You really just shouldn't run something like HandBrake on a G3.

Someone already submitted a patch for core audio but that was rejected since it goes against the cross-platform nature of HandBrake. DRC has already been added to the SVN trunk so you'll see that when 0.9.2 goes out the door. (Sometime Q1 this year) unless you feel like taking a stab at compiling th...

No, The windows port does not support copy protected discs because the library required for it does not work under windows. If you wish to use a folder, use the folder radio button. The windows controls don't support selecting a folder from a file dialog box without writing a completely custom contr...

I'm not asking for "support", just simply that older versions remain posted for download. Didn't say you were. Simply meant that others before you have. There are a number of software makers who have responded to my requests and have re-posted or kept posted both Mac OS 8.6 - Mac OS 9.2.2...

In that case, I will do some testing and get this checked in (assuming no problems) when I can find some time to do so.

Yeh. He can defiantly search just fine.

Yeh, You obviously can't read. Why do you think there is a preset for the iPhone in the presets bar? Use it.
