Log file?
Did you use the correct iPod preset (of whatever version of HB you used)?

Be a little more specific.
Open up one of the mp4s with quicktime, go to window and click info and tell us some stats of your files.

This question does get asked all the time. & there's no way to have a bit for bit rip from the DVD aside from taking the mpeg2 stream out directly, which HB doesn't need to do and/or doesn't do anyway. If you want a lossless representation of whatever media you have, simply choose Constant Quali...

Not so much a suggestion but a question: How would you handle something like Psych, Season 1, Disc 1 where you've got 3 episodes with the following times (rounded): 1. 1:15:00 2. 41:15 3. 41:00 Don't remember if there was a catch all title. Generally I don't think is possible to safely estimate whe...

Now, I'm coding TV Show support into my script/app. & it is a little hard for me since ironically I only own like 3 TV Shows on DVD. So I was wondering if I could get some input on my method to detect such DVDs. You see, I'm already using an online database for DVD Title querying, and inasmuch I...

i doubt there's someone who has memorized every DVD that has multiple titles to [Censored] up ripping :P Haha, that's not actually what I'm looking for. I was just trying to inquire as to what kinds of problems people encounter during DVD ripping/transcoding and they're specific workaround to fix i...

Geez...

Lmao!
That was awesome.
Never seen that before lolz xP.

I've been looking around these forums for problem DVDs that won't rip and the workarounds of such discs. As it seems, every problem DVD topic I've found, the fix seems to be just opening the specific title of the movie/feature that your ripping and it works fine, obviously because of the "prote...

I thought I'd be the first to tell you,
your the man ;P!

The Wii is a horrible media extender no matter how you put it, but yes people transcode and send it out with a few different programs, even an xbox can do it better though. For like $100 you can get a western digital movie player its like a hard drive in a box that can play H264 files thats is smal...

I PMed you the other day about the DVD DB, but I'm going to post some ideas here to see what everyone else thinks. I've been looking into ways to implement all of these features of the database, and I was thinking of coding some integration with VLC to monitor user input and ask the user to select c...

Yep, we kept testing and testing and it wouldn't work... then someone got the bright idea to try importing an encode with a stik value (i.e. video type) other than 0 (movie) and viola! It's completely an iTunes "bug", which will probably be fixed whenever iTunes starts selling HD movies. ...

Understood, edited.
I apologize.

In the HandBrakeCLI-batch.sh, is there a way to have it encode the longest title? Or a specific title? Instead of just the "minimum get time" option? Is there any real benefit of using it beside the whole, processing one DVD TS_Video after another, and specifying a minimum get title time?...

you're spot on

Thanks ^__^.
I didn't have a blu-ray drive to test out how HD sources work.
Just a PS3 to watch them ;P.

Okay, okay. Now Alternate Groups don't do much. But they do something. iTunes: -seems to disregard alternate groups altogether and display audio tracks in regards to [sort by track id, then sort by audio language (overwriting the sorting by track-id, but it uses the lowest track-id of whatever langu...

So I just have a few questions. The ATV can display 720p up to 25fps correct? That means anything 25 & below will play smoothly/correctly on the ATV. Now, I'm not "in the know" as much about HD sources as you guys are so; ~ all DVDs are 24p, & I was under the impression that it was...

Joel, seriously I am making this up as I go and the reason I am pushing this up to SourceForge is to get other peoples input. So if you code, cool but even if you just help in the discussion that would be wonderful. There are a lot of similar and related issues I am trying to find the best path for...

Caveats to this - -you *are* better off encoding for at least 320p (higher if the aspect ratio > 16:9) in some cases -- because the iTouch lets you zoom in on movies, a 320p encode lets makes sure you don't lose detail. Totally forget about that. Perfect. That's what I'll do then 720p/320p encodes ...

Tried that x264 option?

Oh, I thought that was the same as the "-C" option,
but Ill look into it, thanks

I think you're going about this in entirely the wrong way. Restraining the number of CPUs a process uses is not a very flexible way of managing resources on a multiuser system. Then what might you suggest. Lately, I've been coding a bunch of scripts/apps to help me code my dvds and files transparen...

Really?
Haha, thanks nightstrm. ^__^

Won't be hard to incorporate that into my script.
Perfect

i doubt there's devices that can do > 480p (iPhone theoratical maximum) but < 720p. There's really no such thing as future proof, unfortunately, you never know if apple is going to release a 576p iTunes tablet or will never release anything with a screen as high resolution as an iPhone again. :/ We...

I'm coding a script to automatically encode my (albeit very few) HD sources into an HD-SD combo using handbrake & mp4v2. Now, I simply have quick question. Using the AppleTV Preset, I can have as high as 720p (if fps <= 25), but usually 540p (at 30fps). And the universal preset can go as high as...

Setting the media type to to tv show or music video, setting an identical cnID on both and flagging one of them as HD. (all done with mp4v2) Dang it, no movie combinations. That's unfortunate. Well, when/if, iTunes ever get's HD movies I guess it will work in the same way. So, I guess I could use t...
