HandBrake

So, you don't think the logs are important, when they show what is being presented and how it is handled? And you want everyone to guess at what's happening?

Using a filter like nlmeans will cut your CPU usage quite a bit, as it will lock your encode to the speed it's working at. EVERYTHING has to pass through the filter, and that is one that takes a lot of CPU. Turning that filter off will help a lot.

And with no information provided, no one else can help you figure it out.

Handbrake does not natively read DVDs. You can add libraries to it to give it that function, but that hasn't been part of handbrake for over a dozen years, for legal reasons.

Using a DVD tool like MakeMKV handles that.

It's faster ripping with an actual ripping tool like MakeMKV, and it won't just die when it finds a bad spot... but it might not continue past it. When you patch together handbrake to rip, the library you use doesn't have a lot of tolerance for defects. There is no guarantee that tools like MakeMKV ...

It would seem that the CLI is using the selection rules set up in the preset "HQ 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround", rather that being told what track to select. So, it would be best to see what that preset selects. You have two sources, but there are 3 selected audio sources per the log... the thi...

Actually, it didn't complete successfully... Handbrake only read a third of the disk, same as MakeMKV. Looks like there is a problem with the source, Fix that, and the whole thing should read.

You created a new configuration when you saved the settings, correct? Using one of the "stock" settings isn't going to be overwritten by changes, because those are "read only" settings. We cannot tell by the scan log you submitted. Could you post the encode log? That will say wha...

Without the logs, it is impossible to guess.

For over a decade, handbrake has not included the external library necessary to rip DVDs, because it is illegal in some places. You have been free to add that to it, but it NOT included with handbrake. Many people have done so, but upgrading your operating system breaks many of the links, so it &quo...

Remember that he said he's running on a Mac, so he could use the built-in DVD decryption software.

Argh, why didn't anyone point out that this should have been "4GB"? You're being too nice to me...

2160p is 4K, so you're going to have to give up on having "full resolution" and keeping the size down. If you have a 4MB limit on file size, you'll have to get really jittery, or cut the save resolution to 1080p and let the player resize for you. Most players are pretty good at that.

You are going to have a LOT of trouble getting a 4K source that is over 2 hours long to be "under 4GB" without compressing it a LOT more than the ATV preset is intended for. You'll need to at least reduce the size to 1080p.

If the flash drive is formatted with FAT (as opposed to FAT32 or something more advanced), you simply could have an issue with any video over 4GB in size. You are having a lot of trouble, but haven't told us anything that explains the trouble.

The answer to this question is based on the answer to, "Is someone who is familiar with AMD AV1 encoding going to implement is in a way that can be supported by handbrake?"

The answer is "probably yes", but the answer of "When will it happen?" is rather open right now.

Handbrake is not intended to rip DVDs, so the 3rd-party add-on you are trying to use not being able to read a DVD is a handbrake bug? One of the limitations of that library is that it cannot deal with copy protections that weren't part of the DVD spec when it was written, and it cannot deal with unr...

Actually, you do not have to do anything so convoluted. MakeMKV, at least, can rip the video file directly the an MKV, which then is processed by handbrake. If I remember correctly, MakeMKV only offers to do "image" backups for Blurays and UHDs.

If you were previously encoding DVDs with handbrake, it was because you had installed a 3rd-party library to enable it. Windows has been updating to make it so that such libraries have to be installed for each program that uses them, so changing versions of handbrake will "break" that inte...

One problem is that the formats specified seem to be "text-based", and subtitles found on sources like DVD and Bluray are generally graphics-based. Those sources that have text-based captioning are typically using "Closed Captioning", which is part of the video itself. EIA-608/70...

Subtitles on a DVD or Bluray will have language tags. Your ripping tool (such as MakeMKV) will normally include them. It is POSSIBLE that a disk may have the subtitles as separate files. That is rare. You can expand MakeMKV's list of titles to rip to show what individual languages are available in e...

When handbrake tries to open the file, it gets told that it is "not found". Are you certain that handbrake has permission to access the involved folder?

Handbrake is not designed to rip from DVDs. It assumes that it gets the full video. When you force it to read through a third-party library, if the library has a problem, handbrake simply assumes the video ended. Using something like MakeMKV or another ripping tool, you'll find out about the errors ...

Handbrake is not intended to read DVD/BD/UHD disks directly, because they're copy protected. While there are third-party ways to do it, you're limited by what the third-party solution supports. From what you've posted, the third-party code is having an issue with this disk's copy protection. Have yo...
