HandBrake

Is the banding present in the original h264 version? If so, it will faithfully be recreated in the h265 output.

VLC no longer supplies the 3rd-party library that did the DVD decryption for handbrake. If you look at your log, you will see a messages about "support for encrypted disks not available". Since handbrake is not intended to rip video from protected media, there is no support for those 3rd-p...

Are you trying to use manual cropping and it is not cropping in the right place?

The link Google gives to mkvtoolnix.download should be the proper one, but if your antivirus is complaining about fosshub, maybe they haven't cleaned up their act from the security breach a few months back. mkvtoolnix has gone through a couple of revisions since then, too. Sorry - For security reaso...

Have you read any of the reviews on the NUC6i7KYK? The first one on Amazon ends with: ****************************** UPDATE: 6/01/2016 ****************************** The NUC has some issues with heat. It runs HOT (80c - 90c) just by playing a Facebook game (Thunder Run: War of clans - @ level 44). T...

When you bought the camera, was there an application supplied by Nikon for editing? My Nikon came with a disk, but I have no idea what is on it, since I don't use it for video. The error didn't say the codec wasn't supported, it said the color space wasn't. If there was an included editing applicati...

Did you SAVE the new bitrate request to a new preset, LOAD that preset, then queue up your files? Because the settings in effect when this encode was done was constant quality set to RF=20 and no bit rate mentioned. Batch loading uses the saved settings of the current preset . Any settings you chang...

What's the current link to the "Is/Isn't" documentation page? The old one I had doesn't work...

My car has a grey interior. What should I use to clean the wheels? That's what your question looks like without at least the scan portion of the (required) activity logs. There are many, many ways to author disks, and you haven't given any information to indicate which particular method was used on ...

What are you using to decrypt the disks?

What are you using for playback? Is there a difference if you jump past the point where the video goes away?

Remember that mini-PCs are going to have cooling issues when run at 100% CPU for long periods of time. Their target market is people who need momentary bursts of speed. When you're doing QSV decoding AND encoding, that's not really critical, because the QSV hardware is quite efficient, power-wise. B...

We would need to see the encode logs for a file that works AND one that fails, to compare.

I'm surprised it got ANYWHERE with the disks.

Did you submit the download link to TrendMicro for review? Quite often what you see are the results of overly-broad checks - "If it looks like it kind of might possibly in some circumstances be a problem, put up big red warning box so the user thinks we're doing something." As the vendors ...

The file extension is "everything" to some platforms. Windows doesn't care if you use MPG, MP4, or M4V. Apple recognizes MPG, but certain features are only available if the file extension is M4V. Using DLNA, some servers won't show files with an M4V extension, but WILL show MPG files. Olde...

We do not know what you're dealing with, because you haven't posted your logs. Again, some subtitle types CANNOT be put into an MP4 file, so turning off "burn in" means nothing - they'll be burned in because they HAVE to be burned in. Simply changing to an MKV file instead makes it possibl...

So, you're saying that, when you open the activity log, you are denied access when you click on "Open log directory"?

If "unparsed options" does not mean "these options were not parsed", what does it mean?

"unparsed options" are ones that were ignored during the encode because they didn't apply or were incorrectly specified. So listing them won't help anyone...

Slight correction - the GUI (at least on Windows) will create folders as necessary, to multiple levels. The CLI will NOT. I have to remember that little detail when creating batch files. The options used to be listed in the Options->Output Files window: Default path: Available options: {source_path}...

You might start with an OFFICIAL distribution. With Linux especially, going with a third-party package of handbrake means you can have disabled features, or broken versions of libraries. Without knowing what your version contains, advice we might give could be impossible for you to implement, or mig...

MakeMKV doesn't need AnyDVD to run. Question - if these DVDs are home made, they should not have CSS encryption on them, unless you authored them with it. What happens if you ask explorer to COPY the files off the disk to a directory on your hard drive? Does it copy them without error, or have read ...

I believe you can get access to the QSV hardware by running a Windows VM under Linux. I tested QSV on my hardware (Haswell, like yours) earlier this year. Wonderful speed. 200fps on 1080p content. Dropped it when I found out that the "cost" was 10% larger files than the software encoder. I...

Tweaking for different things takes knowledge of what the tweaks do. For example, there is a tweak to increase dynamic range on dark parts of video, but it can increase the file size or causes issues with fast motion, maybe even both. Sometimes simply applying a filter will make a vast difference in...

Find a bitrate calculator, calculate the bit rate you need to fit the length of the film into 4.7GB, use that rate on a two-pass average bitrate encode, and accept whatever you get as far as quality. There is no command line to say, "I want a 4.7GB file", because it's just a guess in any c...
