HandBrake

Yes, but unfortunately, in the days before I was "discless" I sometimes stored files over two CDs in 700MB files. Now, owing an AppleTV, I want to move these to one complete file in m4v containers.

Thanks for the suggestion and I downloaded the trial version, but it seems to only work with mp4 files and not the m4v files outputted by Handbrake in the AppleTV default.

As indicated above, I have an option: the legacy program VisualHub. However since it is not being upgraded since it Snow Leopard days (other than working with Lion/Mt. Lion) it is getting long in the tooth. My hope was that Handbrake would be a one step option; but, alas, it is not! If an alternativ...

Great tip to know, thank you! But: after using Handbrake to attach the .srt subtitle files in both files and seeing them in MPEG Streamclip on screen, they seem to be stripped out when I do a "Save As..." UPDATE: I also notice that MPEG Streamclip stripped out the AC3 5.1 2nd audio file, r...

I love MPEG Streamclip for editing, but I have never seen how to use it to join two files together. Please let us know how to do that...?

Not the "killer app" that is going to get me to upgrade to Mt. Lion, but thanks! Maybe I will install Mt. Lion in Parallels one of these days and try it then...

UPDATE: It quits in Snow Leopard, too!

I tried it (v1.0) and it continously quits unexpectedly in Lion.

So here is what I faced when attempting to download MKVMerge: Note: I don't own a Mac nor do I have access to one. Therefore I do not support the binary packages available below as they were all contributed by third parties. Jonathan Buschmann provides a universal (32/64bits) package for Snow Leopar...

Not sure how that helps...

Seems that MKVToolsNix only works on Matroska files. I am looking for a more omnibus solution. Still using VirtualHub in this situation, when needed. Adding this feature to Handbrake would sure help all those out there who originally stored content on split 700MB files, to merge them (as well as tra...

The legacy app, VirtualHub, has the feature that two (or more) files can be transcoded and then automatically joined together, resulting in one complete transcoded file (without any human intervention required in the midst of the action).

Does Handbrake have this capability?

You mean like a BluRay license, which only gives you a license to view the content from their disc only, not to re-encode it or remove drm?

Is discussion of transcoding BluRay or installing VLC for ripping permitted on this forum?

Not a violation of Terms of Use if a member of Prime, which allows for repeat viewings.

How to use Handbrake with Amazon Instant Streaming?

Use MPEG Streamclip to "edit" the DVDs and save as whatever format is handy.

What makes it especially confusing is here is a guy who is taking his complete BluRay library and getting forum advice on how to rip it in a way so that it will fit on an iPad that belongs to someone else! I don't think that he had to talk to his lawyer... https://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=...

Thanks for the quick reply. Having looked it up, it appears that using Handbrake to make a copy, for say my iPad, is a violation of the copyright, but since it is for an iPad owned by me, to be used by me, there would be a defense to the copyright violation known as "fair use." What I do n...

Is it legal in the US? No.

Is that because the Handbrake rip is also not legal in the US?

U.S.A. just like most of the Handbrake moderators...

If I own the DVD/BR can I just download a DRM-free version of a digital copy from a torrent site and save much time and effort?

I'm sticking with the 1st gen Apple TV for the sole reason that it has an internal hard drive and doesn't require me to use a machine as a server. All of my media is in iTunes on my iMac, for ease of synchronization with devices (iPad/iPhone). Since the original Apple TV behaves like an iPod as far...

The appropriate tool varies by format. mkvmerge is a popular option; it may be possible for you to use depending on your input and output formats, which you haven't specified. Sorry for the delayed response. I did not specify which formats, because my history of using the feature in VisualHub did n...

with what?

The orphaned Mac program VisualHub (based upon the FFMPEG engine) has the ability to transcode two files and combine them together.
