HandBrake

Forgot one important (maybe) factor. Previous to finding this problem, I was calling the script that had the pipe (psy-rd=1|0.15) from within MythTV. That might be why it works for me there, and not if I just run the script from the command line.

So do you think this is a new bug, or a recent change? I just checked my other scripts that were working, and they do not now. I changed all back to a comma instead of the pipe and all is well. I'm using svn 3743.

Just got back in for the night. I pasted the failed log at the bottom of this post. I changed the script to a comma between the psy-rd and psy-trellis and it worked. The very odd thing is that the following script also works just fine: HandBrakeCLI -i "$1.tmp" -o "/var/lib/mythtv/vide...

I have a command string that fails to encode for some reason. Could someone tell me which -x option below is ki...

Settings above (slower) took 12 hours to encode, but the file size was about 20% smaller . Will check the quality when I get home tomorrow.

Thanks!

I'll run this overnight and see how the encode time is. Guess I could get rid of the "High Profile" setting, but it's easier to leave it in and be sure I'm not missing something, then just change what I want. I'm using the latest nightly build if it matters. HandBrakeCLI -i "$1" ...

After looking at the x264 settings, looks like what I had is very close to the "slow" setting, except for the crazy merange. I'll try the slower settings, but I think the trellis=2 increases the encode time quite a bit. If the time is unacceptable I might drop down to the "slow" ...

I've got Mythtv set up with a tuner card and have been recording HD channel Television. Storage space is beginning to be a concern so it is time to archive some of the mpeg files. I have HandBrakeCLI installed and have set up a user job in Mythtv to take care of all the encoding from here on out. My...
