HandBrake

Open Handbrake.

Click Handbrake in the top left, Preferences, Advanced, and uncheck the box beside Dvd-Video.

Bump.

This is a new thread to separate out the discussing regarding compile issues on FreeBSD that was taking place here . I've started preparing unified diff patches for the issues listed and was looking into the build system to fix the remaining issues such as GCC version. Per the Linux build instructio...

Open Terminal and type:

file Harry Potter.mkv

Use any necessary slashies \ for whitespace and let us know what the system sees the file as.

Thank you for the information Rodeo. This is why: # gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i386-undermydesk-freebsd Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD] ./configure --launch --disable-gtk --force probe: host tuple...(pass) i386-unknown-...

FreeBSD uses an older GCC version in the base system which causes a lot of problems when using x264 to the point of requiring major system changes. I've been investigating Clang as an alternative build requirement, but that is just for FreeBSD 8.0+ The rest of the problems can be solved with a few c...

Does the video play in VLC or Mplayer?

That might be a good place to start debugging.

It really is a great application. It is probably my third most used program behind my web browser and IM client.

RipIt does odd things to the DVD image. Open up Handbrake Preferences, Click on Advanced, and uncheck the box beside Dvd-Video: to (maybe) fix it. If you're ripping it directly from the DVD with Handbrake and seeing these types of issues, try to open the DVD Player.app once (close it after it starts...

Correct they are already ripped, I am trying to convert via Handbrake. The DVD doesn't matter I've tried near a 100 most, not all, have lip sync issues. I am thinking it may be something with the FPS possibly, but I am still not sure. I may try an older version of Handbrake too, back in the .9.3 er...

We're going to be using the latest SVN for this since that is what I usually build. I haven't tested the latest SVN yet as I have nothing to convert, but it should work fine. This is going to assume you have all the software needed (yasm, gcc44, gmake, gtar binutils etc) installed. svn checkout svn:...

What was the DVD ripped with?

It looks like you're converting a DVD already ripped onto a hard drive.

Handbrake compiles on FreeBSD with some patches. You'll just need to make a few changes to the build scripts and some of the software it downloads. Example: The latest SVN code will download and attempt to extract a52dec-0.7.4.tar.gz when using gmake. The command it tries to extract with is: /usr/bi...

I decided to give converting something with subtitles another try since Subler is now at such an advanced stage of development and even Handbrake has basic SRT support. Does anyone have a workflow that would allow the conversion of an MKV with SubStation Alpha subtitles to M4V with Soft or Burned Su...

I get "This version of HandBrake is 64 bit, VLC found but not 64 bit!" aswell... I've downloaded 1.0.2 in the 64 bit & the 1.0.3 (not sure how many bits that one is) but its still popping up I've got a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 what do I do please? All I want to do is copy a dvd and no ...

I've seen this on one or two DVDs before, but it is rare. The DVD I'm working with here is: The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye: Vol. 3: Gravestone The tracks under Audio Tracks (when selecting the Audio button/tab) usually correctly show English if available and Japanese if not. These DVDs contai...

I wouldn't dream of it, but Google via code.google.com and sourceforge.net seem to be happy to help out open source projects.

I forgot to include the activity log in my previous post (as a side note, If I click "Attempt to Scan Anyway" I am taken to a vlc web page and Handbrake doesn't start scanning anything). Here's the log: You must use the version of VLC found here . No other version will work. If you have t...

It seems a too simple, but that is essentially it. .mp4 will not show your soft subtitles while .m4v will show them. Just make sure you have the correct file extension.

First time I've ever posted here, not really sure where to post a bug report so that I can be useful to you (sorry). Oh well. I only had 10 to 15 discs left [shrugs], got the bulk of the work done. I'll just wait 'til a new version comes out to fix the issues since the older version is no longer av...

When I am watching video from Handbrake on this device it will show the name of each chapter below the video as it plays. I really hate that, but I can't figure out how to disable it on the player. Google has turned up zilch.

Does anyone have any ideas?

The new FAQ redirect only works if you're logged into the forum.

It is a very good start though.

Which version of OS X are you using?

10.6.2 includes some fixes that might help with this.

1) It is unique. There is no confusion when someone tells you "Use Handbrake".

2) It is fun. Open source projects don't need the same type of marketing that commercial projects do so they can come up with fun names.

DragonflyBSD, Handbrake, and dozens of others all do this.
