Re: what is an .m4v file and why does handbrake ALWAYS want to render videos in this format?
iPod, first AppleTV, QuickTime Player 7, old versions of iTunes. .m4v was required to enable ac-3 audio and chapters. In addition, the vast majority of players that are not brain dead like those mentioned above are smart enough to recognize the file type based on it's content rather than it's filen...

Also should the Software remain open if i close the Software and again open it ? even then it does not start from where I left last.

Re: Strange 'Overlay' appearing
You might want to disable "Foreign audio search". It automatically adds any subtitle track that looks like it may have subtitles for a sequence with foreign audio. In this case, it interpreted the forced subtitles in a track (which are probably the watermark you are seeing) as potential fo...

Re: Handbrake upsizing video bitrate
I'm not even sure why Handbrake is increasing the bitrate since I doubt it's increasing the quality You assume correctly that HandBrake can't increase the quality. When a video is recompressed to a "higher quality" than the original, all you are doing is faithfully preserving all the comp...

Re: Can "Align A/V Start" option cause desync?
Is it possible even when I cut a clip from a middle of a longer movie? Both video and audio are well underway so start time should be irrelevant. In this scenario is is almost guaranteed that the start times will not align. Audio frame and video frames have differing durations. So if you start an a...

Re: MKV from HandBrake is larger and has less readable metadata.
I did do a quick check this time to see how much trouble it would be. ffmpeg supports reading compressed PGS. But it does not support writing compressed PGS. So I'll have to patch ffmpeg to add this feature. Probably a day's work at worst. Just have to set aside my work on OctoPrint and OctoDash for...

Re: Can "Align A/V Start" option cause desync?
In media files, it is possible for the first audio timestamp and the first video timestamp to be different, e.g. the audio starts at time X and the video starts at time Y. Align A/V start shortens or extends the duration of the first video frame to force X == Y. If the original difference in start t...

Re: Detelecine original 24p content that is 29.97 back to 24p
HandBrake has a convenient "Interlace Detection" filter that may help in this scenario. When this filter is enabled, it looks for combing artefacts in the incoming frames and marks the combed frames. The information about which frames have combing is fed through to the "Deinterlace&qu...

Re: MKV from HandBrake is larger and has less readable metadata.
The PGS track is compressed in the zlib format in mkvmerge file, but uncompressed in the HandBrake one. That's interesting. I didn't know that was an option in mkv. It certainly would save a lot of space. Will have to look into adding support for that since zlib is already one of our dependencies. ...

But why isn’t there info about bitrate of video and audio streams (in MKV from HandBrake), please? Not sure really. The matroska specification has no track elements for bitrate, but it can be calculated from duration and size of the data in the track. Matroska does have "Technical Information ...

Re: Detelecine original 24p content that is 29.97 back to 24p
Unfortunately, HandBrake's detelecine filter doesn't have any logging that could tell us more about what might be happening. I really should add a verbose logging option so we can see if there are any breaks in the 2-3 pulldown pattern. But that looks like what is happening. If you are really intere...

Re: Keep output file exactly the same while only adding burn-in of forced subs
Is there a reason you are choosing to encode to MPEG-2? If you don't require MPEG-2 for some player compatibility reason, you should use a more modern codec. The MPEG-2 codec is old technology (nearly 30 years old) and the encoder implementation (i.e. the software implementing the spec) is much less...

Is there a feasible reason why the default 1080p preset would have automatic cropping set 268 to the right? This is my fifth time using the program, and it wasn't there previously. Because commercial formats have limited allowable resolutions. So when the video is mastered, they add black bars to m...

There are a couple of ways. Use encoder "levels". Levels are designed to tune encoder settings to match the capabilities of a player or playback environment (i.e. streaming). Levels implicitly set "VBV" settings that limit bitrate. Information about levels https://help.encoding.c...

If you are worried about spikes causing playback problems, then you should be using encoder "level" or VBV settings to limit such spikes. For example the level used in the activity log you provided (3.0) limits peak bitrate to 10Mbps. As far as I know, this information is not available fro...
