Re: Missing Advanced Settings field with QSV encoders

So only Windows for now? Or it is technicaly possible. It's technically possible. Linux QSV lags because there's not as much demand for it, I have to test it on a machine that isn't my primary development machine, and I'm lazy :mrgreen: It's on my list. But it would be less likely to be forgotten i...

Re: How best to deinterlace a source that has both progressive and interlaced content?

Generally, if you don't have a playback device that requires constant framerate, it's best to just leave the framerate set to variable "same as source". When using bob deinterlacing, you won't have to be concerned with matching the output framerate to twice the input framerate. Additionall...

Re: Faint subtitles with HandBrake 1.4.1 on Mac (Intel)

FYI, quick test here with a couple DVD samples using HandBrakeCLI 1.4.2 and git master on Linux doesn't show any issue. But I did notice that the log above shows this: [10:53:08] + color profile: 5-5-6 And my test using HandBrakeCLI shows this [10:40:06] + color profile: 6-1-6 Not sure if that would...

Re: Crash when transcoding an mkv to x265

I'm somewhat surprised it can even be coaxed to build for arm. Since none of us has done this on linux, you're going to have to do the heavy lifting yourself in figuring out what's broken. Start by doing a clean build with debug symbols enabled and optimization disabled. E.g. from the top of the Han...

You appear to have auto-crop enabled and your source must have black bars top and bottom that HandBrake is cropping since they are not "useful image data".

Re: Calculating output file size before commiting to encoding

filesize = duration * bitrate You can't nail down a specific file size with quality target encoding (i.e. RF values). That would require multiple rounds of trial and error and would have different results for each input file. I recommend 2-pass bitrate target encoding for this. You'll have to sum up...

Re: Error compiling hb.dll for Windows with Fedora 30

Oh, I must apologize for a mistake I made earlier. Signal 9 is SIGKILL, and I misread as SIGILL (one letter difference 'K'). This last log indicates a different signal (15) which is SIGTERM. Something external to 'ld' is terminating or killing the process. One thought is the OOM killer. How much mem...

Re: HandBrake 1.4.0 Discussion Thread

Signal 9 is "illegal instruction". Either ld is bugged or you have some other system level issue. Fedora 30 is getting pretty long in the tooth. Perhaps it's time for an upgrade?
