Re: writes 1920x1080

Your log says you are using a larger setting in the NAME of the preset, but the preset itself is 1920x1080 for maximum size. It then resizes the video to fit that window, leaving you with 1440x1080.

Your preset needs to have the maximum dimensions removed to prevent the rescaling.

Does your ripping software not provide any help on this? What you are describing seems to be a copy protection process used by Lionsgate, an optical disk manufacturer, where you have to know which title is actually used for the movie, or else you get "out of order" scenes. Different rippin...

Re: Can't figure out subtitles

Among the questions that such a log would provide insight into, are "What type of subtitles?", "What type output file?", and. "What did you ask handbrake to do?"

Right now, we know that you start with MKV files, but not what type you end with.

Re: What changes would I need to make to the HandBrakeCLI build to create a 32-bit Windows command?

Probably because the current versions aren't intended to run on 32-bit systems. It has been a number of years since they compiled to 32-bit code. Edited to add: Version 1.0.7 seems to be the last version that offered a 32-bit version. https://handbrake.fr/rotation.php?file=HandBrakeCLI-1.0.7-win-i68...

Apparently, you have installed a third-party DVD reading library, but have not figured out how to get the non-GUI command line program to use it. Did the third-party vendor not include those instructions?

Re: Re Transcoding with hard coded forced subs

With no information to work with, it is very hard to guess at what you need to do. If the subtitles are already hard-coded, there would not be a reason to "encode them in". Do you want the file "bigger", "smaller", or "same size"? How was it encoded originally...

Re: Encoding starts and ends w/o a result

Handbrake reports that the DVD decoder stopped sending data to it, citing a read error. It finished with what it had.

Finding out why your DVD drive could not read the disk will be helpful, but this isn't an actual handbrake issue.

Re: Transfer multiple subititles

A log that shows what you have would be nice. No, let's say it's pretty much required.

I transfer multiple subtitles to videos quite often, but not knowing what you have, it is hard to say, "Do this and it will fix it!"

Handbrake is not a "DVD ripper". Have you tried using something that is?

I personally use MakeMKV, but others exist.

Re: Setting for passthrough of eveything but convert audio

The video will always be processed - handbrake IS a video program, that does some other helpful things.

If you do not want the video processed, there are other tools. ffmpeg, for example, can be told to only process audio in the file.

Re: HandBrakeCLI audio not sync - DVD -> MP4

Ripping direct from encrypted disks is not supported by handbrake.

That's why most people rip the video with something like MakeMKV, then encode the MKV files that are generated.

Re: Serial cutting of a video file

Splitting a file will require running handbrake for each "episode" you want, so it isn't "one expansion." By frame doesn't always work out exactly, because you do not have individual "full frames" in most files. You have a base frame, and differences to move to the next...

Re: huge file and wrong time

Your snapshots are useless, other than to point out why you think something is wrong. It is a 3 hour 10 minute video from a DVD; expanding it to 12GB would be highly unusual, unless you encoded it to expand EVERYTHING, and remove compression. And it certainly wouldn't grown to 21 hours long. So yes,...

Re: How to sync subtitles and save the sync permanently?

If you want them permanently synchronized, including them in the MP4 file would be appropriate. Although, usually the people who create SRT files include the sync data in the subtitle itself.

It would appear that handbrake cannot parse the audio track, so it ignores it.

VOBSUB, like PGS, are usually pictures of the text, not actual text like would be found in a .SRT file. You would also have to do character recognition to make them into an SRT.
