HandBrake

As mentioned I have problems with black bars, but I agree that other people could prefer black bars. Personally I think with low resolutions and small displays it is better to have no black bars and to loose a little bit of the image. SInce you created Android presets, which player did you use with ...

Many Android mobile phones have a resolution of 480x320 and unfortunately the only Android opensource player I found, which plays Handbrake files, the Dolphin player - http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-player/ is a little bit buggy. If the video doesn't have the full resolution of the display, eg wit...

I try to get acceptable quality with a Nokia mobile phone (C5-00) while saving as much space as possible. I had no luck with X264 and crf, so I tried the options below, but maybe you can give me some options using x264 and crf, which should be safe? This did not work, I mean the mobile phone played ...

Thanks for explaining.

Is there a (theoretically) decrease in quality, if HandBrakeCLI is called eg 10 times from 10 terminals with eg a Dualcore-CPU? So it is the other way round, not 1 video uses more cores, but a lot videos have to share the cpu.

HandBrake 4413svn from Repo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-snapshots/ubuntu oneiric main" I see in the log: options: threads=1:b-adapt=2:rc-lookahead=50 but top shows about 130% So it looks like there is more than 1 thread used. Anything wrong with my syntax? I use this c...

Thiw works: find "$SOURCEDIR" -type f -name '*.avi' | sort | \ while read -r SRCCLIP; do MKVFILE="$VIDEOEDITSOURCEDIR""/"`basename "$SRCCLIP" .avi`".mkv" echo echo "$SRCCLIP" echo "->" echo "$MKVFILE" echo HandBrakeCLI -...

I am a little bit confused, why Handbrake exits a bash-script- This works and lists 5 clips find "$SOURCEDIR" -type f -name '*.avi' | sort | \ while read -r SRCCLIP; do MKVFILE="$VIDEOEDITSOURCEDIR""/"`basename "$SRCCLIP" .avi`".mkv" echo echo "...

I saw there is a misunderstood option by me; -D 0.0,0.0. This is nonsense with 1 audio-stream. I don't understand "-D 0.0" too, is this default? What is a recommended value for a camcorder?

I tried flac with a 523M mpg-file, the size is nearly the same with -C5 and -C 8.

I agree that the quality was too high, but I am talking of the compression of flac.
Is this possible?

I think finally I have an acceptable solution, which works with kdenlive and openshot. I tested the preview of a very short clip only and I could see an image and hear the sound. The advantage of using Hanbrake before the video editor is to use --decomb to deinterlace the video, if necessary, withou...

Options are case-sensitive…. I know, but now I am confused, probably because of using https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide and --help. At https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide I see -C, --cpu Set CPU count (default: autodetected) If I use --cpu I get: unrecognized option '--cpu' So I understan...

Thanks a lot for looking into it. How to i get the highest flac compression? ffflac - c 8 ? HandBrakeCLI --help is not clear for me. With "-c 8" it is ended immediately. HandBrakeCLI -i dvtest_001_20100216214015.000-720x576i-169-25fps-dv1-32khz-4s40ms.avi -C 1 -e x264 -w 1024 -l 576 -q 15 ...

In this case I use: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/handbrake_snapshot.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-snapshots/ubuntu oneiric main But I use the Packman-Version with Opensuse too. I changed the syntax a little bit, and today it worked, so I guess, it depends which options are firs...

I use HandBrake 4394svn 2011123101 from Ubuntu-Unstable-Repo. Should it work alreay? I can't get it work, by simply clicking on a folder with avi files,

For cli-newbies it would be very interesting to see eg at the end, something like: You can run these GUI-options with "HandBrakeCLI -i ..."

I tried flac with the GUI and the file woks then with kdenlive, but I didn't find out the syntax for flac. https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide doesn't mention it, probably the feature is too new. I use the Ubuntu-Unstable-Repo with HandBrake 4394svn 2011123101 I tried it without --loose-anamorph...

I would like to prepare a camcorder-dv-file for video-editing and "adjust" a few things before I load the file into a movie editor. Mainly I like decomb to deinterlace and I would like to remove these aspect-ratio things, mainly PAR and use square pixels. Filesize doesn't count. So please ...

When I use the GUI with "Anamorphic off" I get as a result 1024x576 from a camcorder dv-video; How do I get this with cli?

I do not use Handbrake for DVD-encoding, but with my own camcorder videos. After Handbrake has encoded the file, there are important data missing, like "Recorded date" and "Encoding settings" of the original (see below). So I ask to keep this data somehow. I think there could be ...

At least I would like to test the difference. Most people are ripping dvds or blurays, I noticed there is a big difference in optimizing the quality when the source is an own camcorder video, especially very old ones.

I would like to offer all own presets to all users via nfs. Where a these presets stored in linux systems? Should a simple symbolic link work?

You are right, but in certain cases it could be better to upscale slowly, than on-the fly. I think on something like -sws 9 (Lanzcos) with mencoder.

Please use Xubuntu Oneiric alternate and not Ubuntu. I use the 64bit version

I use XFCE 4.8 with Xubuntu Oneiric, all packages are uptodate. The resolution is 1280x1024 and the handbrake-window is somewhere in the _middle_, and _not_ at the edge of the screen. I cut the screenshot manually to the handbrake window. Sorry, now idea, how to increade the resolution, it is a view...

Is it possible to do high quality upscaling (better than with a tv) with handbrake? I would like to upscale to 1920x1080 from PAL-VHS and better.
