Re: Is there a way to disable "Source Selection" at application startup?

I hate this, too. I liked the way it was before this behavior was introduced. Sometimes I just want to tweak one of my presets, or peruse what options a setting has. It's a little annoy to have to wait until a needless file scans just to access the interface.

Re: Programming Language and CLI

I use it for two things:

1. In a command-line tool I wrote to parse discs and generate queue files of jobs.
2. As a backend transcoder in a GUI tool I wrote that loads the above queue files.

Re: Judder-free, 60 FPS telecine (?)

Too late! HandBrake already looks and operates like a Swiss Army knife. I don't believe that's true. It certainly doesn't have all the knobs that something like ffmpeg has, nor does it take the place of muxer/demuxers like mkvtoolnix, or audio/video editors like avidemux or Audacity. It especially ...

I've heard the develops say multiple times they're not interested in Handbrake becoming a "swiss army knife," just a solid video transcoder.

I've always thought "Placebo" was a perfect name and a nice hint that you're wasting your time uses it.

Re: "No valid titles found" after log says "6 valid titles found" / json pack failure: NULL object

It's a commercial one. The underside, with an inscription of a media company on the innermost ring, seems to indicate it, even though I forgot what a burned one looks like. (just to indicate I wasn't sold a fake, which could have been a possibility) Interestingly, I've found that inscriptions on th...

I agree. I have my rig transcoding for weeks at a time, and temps never gets beyond the low 50s.

Re: Parallel queue implementation

Forgive me naivete, as encoding/transcoding software is not my area of expertise. But is all this complexity really necessary. Wouldn't it be easier to let the user set the number of simultaneous transcodes? Wouldn't a given set of hardware typically be able to handle N transcodes at a time. I reali...

Re: Parallel queue implementation

You'll also want to implement a hysteresis, so you're not constanting pausing/unpausing a job when you hit some limit.

Re: Parallel queue implementation

I’m not sure global FPS would be a good metric if you have different encode sources and settings. Ideally you would want to monitor CPU/Memory/Disk access then once one of those max out you will be at your limit. I absolutely LOVE your idea of monitoring the bounding resources. That's very intellig...

Re: Parallel queue implementation

What I've done to handle simultaneous transcodes is just create my own tool to process a queue (generated by another tool) for the command line handbrake, plus other tools I need to use like mkvmerge or ffmpeg, or even a queue generated by the Windows GUI Handbrake. It will run whatever simultaneous...

Re: Loading Media Spinnings Forever

OK, I found the issue. My "AppData\Roaming\HandBrake\Nightly" folder must have gotten scrogged up. I deleted it and let HandBrake recreate it. Now it works fine.

AnyDVD. That folder works fine with older versions and the 1.3 release. It's not just DVD folders. Any file I try to load will do sit there forever.
