HandBrake

I'm not sure if handbrake handles multi-angle dvds

It *should*, but I haven't tested the feature in ages. Bit rot may have set in

There should be a dropdown box that appears next to the chapter boxes that allows selection of the angle to encode.

Interesting. I did some tests on nightly and 1.3.3, all with RF 22. Nightly with HD content, I'm getting maybe a little low QP values x265 [info]: frame I: 77, Avg QP:17.90 kb/s: 34752.44 x265 [info]: frame P: 1407, Avg QP:21.65 kb/s: 5564.34 x265 [info]: frame B: 5527, Avg QP:28.44 kb/s: 789.92 Nig...

MakeMKV may expose these video clips. Not certain about that though.

Which question? There are a number of questions in this thread but you're previous post did not pose any new questions.

You're video appears to have black borders left and right (pillar box) which HandBrake automatically crops. The "Fast 720x30" preset *should* be limiting the horizontal resolution to 1280 - black border width. Are you making any modifications to dimensions settings after selecting the pres...

VHS tape noise is very likely the cause of the large file size. My recommendation would be to try the NLMeans denoise filter with the "Tape" tune setting. Try different NLMeans preset levels on a short segment of your source (you can use HandBrake's encoding "Range" settings for ...

Creating an easy to understand and navigate UI for pixel aspect modification is a challenge. The majority of people have no idea what pixel aspect is, so we made the easiest way of adjusting it a function of the "Display Size". The display size is computed from scaled size and pixel aspect...

Basically, you want to change the pixel aspect ratio . There are a couple ways to do this. First, the easy way. On the dimensions tab in the Resolution & Scaling section, set Anamorphic to Automatic . Then in the Final Dimensions section uncheck the Automatic checkbox and modify the Display Size...

HandBrackCLI has no way to build a queue. It can only import a queue file exported by the GUI.

Full list of HandBrakeCLI options is here https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/cli ... rence.html

The reasons are complicated, but you are not imagining things. Banding is indeed reduced when using a 10 bit encoder with 8 bit sources. Longer answer... In encoded video, there are no "pixels". Instead there are frequency coefficients. Frequency coefficients are a representation of the im...

I know of no standards that define the parameters for how interlaced and telecined content may be interleaved. I'm sure production houses have procedures they follow to some extent, but my guess is even these would be soft rules. More generally, changes between interlaced and telecined content most ...

Nice one, very helpful and constructive. mduell's statement is provocative, and lacks tact, but is also true. There are a number of features that would be nice to have that nobody has the time or inclination to work on. The HandBrake developers are a small team (you can count them on 3 to 5 fingers...

Anamorphic means that pixels are not square (they are rectangular). Setting anamorphic to none results in square pixels. Using anamorphic pixels, in this example, results in more detail being preserved in your encoded video. But in some use cases, this may not be needed or desirable. For example, if...

Using hardware encoding depends on whether or not you have the hardware and the operating system supports it.

... and whether the user has actually selected a hardware encoder in the video encoder settings.

The "hard" problem with video passthru is maintaining A/V sync in scenarios where the streams are damaged (this frequently happens with broadcast captures) or sources that have non-seamless branches (DVD and BD). To maintain sync, HandBrake needs to sometimes drop frames. This is easy with...

ffmpeg is probably the tool you want to start with. Google turned up this tip https://www.arj.no/2019/11/03/convertin ... th-ffmpeg/

If you also want to re-compress or convert the video to another codec, then you could post-process with HandBrake.

... then you should just rip libdvdcss support out of handbrake entirely. Having it in the code and being unwilling to answer simple questions about it is hypocrisy. In order to completely remove support for libdvdcss we would have to patch one of the libraries used by HandBrake. We did not write t...

I mean, is this a mistake in the analysis or how can this happen? The compression algorithm knows nothing about the bitrate or quality of the original file. In fact, the original file is uncompressed before being passed to the encoder. The encoder sees only raw uncompressed frames. Strongly compres...

Yes, but I don't believe QSV supports separate vbv settings (I could be wrong). So I offered the information as an alternative to QSV.

As mduell pointed out, the best way to control bitrate spikes when using a quality metric for encoding is through vbv-maxrate and vbv-bufsize settings. These settings are specifically designed for this purpose. QP (like RF) will not limit bitrate. QP is a quality metric. The encoder will apply whate...

Yes.

So only Windows for now? Or it is technicaly possible. It's technically possible. Linux QSV lags because there's not as much demand for it, I have to test it on a machine that isn't my primary development machine, and I'm lazy :mrgreen: It's on my list. But it would be less likely to be forgotten i...

Generally, if you don't have a playback device that requires constant framerate, it's best to just leave the framerate set to variable "same as source". When using bob deinterlacing, you won't have to be concerned with matching the output framerate to twice the input framerate. Additionall...

FYI, quick test here with a couple DVD samples using HandBrakeCLI 1.4.2 and git master on Linux doesn't show any issue. But I did notice that the log above shows this: [10:53:08] + color profile: 5-5-6 And my test using HandBrakeCLI shows this [10:40:06] + color profile: 6-1-6 Not sure if that would...
