HandBrake

My iDea is that you should post your encode log so we can see what Handbrake did.

SC

Are you talking to me or epstewart? My source frames are encoded either in H264 (HD) or MPEG-2 (SD) ->TV recordings: Transportstreams Handbrake supports both so that it should be possible to just pass most of the frames through if they are OK. I was referring to your partial pass through request. H...

What kind of frames are your source? MPEG2? VC-1? VC-1i?

If they are anything other than what Handbrake targets, then Handbrake would translate the frames to x264.

SC

Patches are welcome!

SC

OS version? Handbrake version?

For many of us, the release cycle is every few days. However, since there are only four developers on the Handbrake team that work on it in their spare time, that might be the reason why the release cycle is so long. SC [edit]I forgot there were four, not three developers! Sorry to one of you guys! ...

Well, Comcast will most likely implement it in a few years.

SC

I'm not sure, but I think the Apple Support forums would be the best place to ask this question.

SC

Please just put the encode logs in a code blocks rather than using a reduced size font and off color.

SC

Do you still have your encode logs?

SC

Just select the stream you want, and don't select Forced, Burn in, or Default.

If you continue to have problems, please post an encode log.

You're stable copy is nearly a year old, and many improvements have been made. By in large the nightly releases are substantially better than the stable releases. Problems that are reported with the stable release are fixed in the nightly releases. If keeping the stable version is more critical, bac...

Handbrake can't just have new libs thrown into it. The application has to be tested to find any changes with the newer versions of the background libs or things break.

Plus, it's not like the Handbrake devs are not aware of updates to the background libs.

SC

Have you tried the nightly release?

Web optimized alone will not reduce the file size by 80%.

Try a short sample with web optimized on and off, and post the results.

SC

I think there is an issue with RipIt not properly creating it's disc images. Try MakeMKV.

SC

Right.

SC

I believe it's only available in the CLI.

I don't think Handbrake passes it through, but I'm not sure if it would be included in the metadata.

It doesn't appear to be anything you did. It's most likely the way the disc is mastered.

So preripping would be the way to get around discs that are mastered in such a way.

SC

I presume you're using OS X 10.9?

SC

You could look at the encode log for the file that you made that plays well.

SC

Encode logs would help us to help you.

Loose with a mod of 2 I believe is the same as strict. So if you look at the settings and see the Mod value is 2 then it's the same and you really don't need to worry about it. The wiki has a article or two about anamorphic settings.

SC

Use constant quality instead of looking at a bitrate. Animation should produce smaller files than non animated sources.
