Re: Could you please implement original video passthrough for matroska output.

This is because sometimes I want to re-encode the audio stream and keep the video stream as it is since I don't want the video quality to be degraded any further.

Re: Expectations/guidance on encoding for AppleTV 4K

I've noticed that an outside developer has built a 10-bit version of HB , but wasn't sure how useful that might be. Not useful in the least, because that rubbish is only a custom build with HIGH_BIT_DEPTH set for the relevant contribs. So, it still uses the libav codebase, piping 8-bit to a 10-bit ...

Re: Heavy pixelation in video file

Nice thing is that on this movie almost all scenes it's pixelated, stop supporting x.265 until u fix this. Did you even BOTHER to read the github issue?! Or even the OP's report? It has NOTHING to do with the target encoder. just stop the libav suport... it's too bugged. Fixed that for you.

Not wanting to open a horrible can of worms, I have to point out that there IS a big difference between the two:

Hybrid is a ffmpeg-based project.

Handbrake is a libav-based project.
