HandBrake

My error - it's a program stream, not a transport stream. I've PM'd you with a download link for a sample clip. Ok - that makes sense - I have another test clip (from France) that's also EyeTV and is a program stream. It looks like EyeTV handles any PAT/PMT Filtering itself and just outputs a progr...

Hi awk, I've just tried the patch against rev 553, and it applied cleanly. Whilst I can't "make", I can build the HandBrake target in Xcode with no problems. I've only been using XCode myself, so this isn't too much of a surprise. I though make just launched xcodebuild (which uses the pro...

The Apple TV doesn't support H.264 Interlaced encoded video - only Progressive encoded video (http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html - H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixe...

Nice ! One of the potential uses for this (that only just occured to me) is for people who wish to transfer footage shot with a HDV Camcorder to H.264. Once I fix the MPEG-2 Audio issues you should be able to take a camera stream and transcode it (though getting the stream off the camera is a sepera...

I'm still having problems getting it to build, though. Same stuff I was getting before--parse errors trying to compile stream.c after I add it to the xcode project. I'm sure it's just idiocy on my part :-) Hmmm.... I did a 'resh sync' on a second machine this morning and applied the patches and bui...

At http://awkward.org/handbrake/mpeg2-ts-patch.tar.gz You'll need to manually add the libhb/stream.c file to the project/makefiles (depending on platform) and then to the libhb and libhb dlib target. It seems to work OK for me with the transport streams in common use here in the US for digital broad...

Thanks for the job, awk ! I was really looking for that; I got EyeTV files too. When will Handbrake add your stuff ? Because I am not able to test anything, since it is not in HB itself... :( I don't have a schedule for when my work will get added to the main code I'm afraid. At this point it's sti...

Just two ... unknown (ac3) (5.1 ch) and unknown (stereo) - which was the default -. using the apple tv preset unaltared. I think the 'unknown' choice here is the problem. Whatever it is (and my suspicion would be MPEG-2 Audio) it's not being decoded properly (there have been other reports of issues...

good news: Additional testing (on the SNL set) reveals that if I change the track 1 audio to unknown (ac3) (5.1 ch) - audio is good - This makes me suspicous that the default (or other) choices might be MPEG 2 Audio rather than AC3 ? What sort of choices do you have in the Track 1 Audio menu for th...

i'm noticing that the interlacing is MUCH more apparent on animated TV shows (family guy, simpsons...etc) than it is which non animated....tested with The X-Files Season 9 and Seinfeld Season 1. i don't get interlacing is either of those two, but i do with the cartoons. would that be that it's just...

You can actually encode the video keeping it interlaced, and deinterlace it in VLC on playback, which should look great. The problem is that encoding it as properly interlaced video makes it incompatible with AppleTV, iPod, (QuickTime?) and I'm not sure what else... Hmmm...... I think this has been...

How do I tell if it's using some crufty copy protection? (The words "zero" and "arccos" don't appear in the log.) There's a list of 'zero cell' movies in the support forum here, though it's by no means complete, and tends to be full of the more 'mainstream' releases. It's my imp...

I thought this problem had been noted and fixed in the very last minutes (really) before the 'button was pushed' for the 0.8.5b1 release. Unfortunately looking at the change logs for the file in question it looks like the fix didn't make it. I believe (though my memory is hazy) that deleteing the <h...

This is 'just one of those things' with the current deinterlacing processing present in Handbrake. Either you don't deinterlace and you'll see 'fringing' or 'combing' during playback of scenes with a lot of motion since two fields that are temporally different are being combined to a single frame an...

You could try running the app with the environment variable HB_DEBUG set to 1 It'll give a certain amount of debug spew to stdout which could be helpful. Also (though it doesn't seem like the right 'sort' of DVD - and the symptoms you're describing sound a little different) but this DVD isn't using ...

Yup I'm aware of that, but it still doesn't explain why 20-30% of the CPU is idle... Infact, that's an entire 2Ghz Xeon core sitting there twiddling it's thumbs :P The thing is that in order for any given CPU Core to be busy it must have some 'unit of work' to perform. For a threaded application li...

Although they may look grayed out try clicking on one of the two radio buttons (DVD vs. file/browse) and then back to DVD again.

I think I saw something like this the other day - but it may just be a hazy memory, when I clicked on the buttons the problem seemed to go away.

OK - that's a good amount of information. I think we're on the same page 8-) It does look like there's a problem here - unfortunately I have no immediate thoughts on what/where. One thing you could try as an experiment is changing the rate value in the popup on the video tab - if you're currently re...

I suspect that you're running into issues with how the timecode is being burnt on to the 'media' when it's recorded. If you think 29.97 fps vs 23.97 fps vs 30 fps is complicated then drop vs. non-drop timecode will really boggle your brain. I'd suggest reading up on timecode and framerates. Poynton'...

I believe a fix is being worked on for this particular crash involving selecting presets.

Here it is ! Hope it helps... :) I have that now, you can delete it if you wish. A quick look reveals it's definately using the MPEG-2 Audio standards (I didn't look deep enough to notice which Layer), and that may be a problem given the other reports of issues with anything other than AC-3/A52 aud...

It seems to be what I need; I use EyeTV to capture DVB, and I get a .mpg file. If you can make available a short (6-8 Megabytes should be enough) .mpg from EyeTV capturing DVB that I can download I'll add it to my tests for the work I'm doing. One particular thing to note with DVB streams is that t...

It's been a while (other things interjecting in my priorities 8-), however I've made some progress on the Transport Stream front. I've 'welded' my transport stream parsing code into handbrake and have it working to at least generate previews (I'm doing a test transcode now0. However it needs some 'c...

Well.... it looks like the SVCD format isn't quite as standards compliant as the code expects (in fact it might be quite different I'm not familiar with it at this point). If you have a short example (a few 10s of megabytes) I can take a look at it once I've completed the Transport Stream stuff. I j...
