Re: Some x265 presets aren't working as intended

The turbo first pass just skips a bunch of options that are slow and typically don't make a difference.

For trying something with extremely low bitrates, I'd leave it off, you want all the encode options applied to the first pass.

What if you try non-optimized defaults. Like default defaults. Vanilla. No optimization.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

Can you post the encoding log from when you tried threads=1? There will be some CPU usage other than the video encoder but I wouldn't expect to use all cores on an i9.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

In preferences, enable the advanced options box for video encoders.

On the video tab, put threads=1 in that box.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

No, I mean in the video encoder advanced settings, since you're using x264 use threads=1.

Simultaneous encodes should also be set to 1 given your instability issues.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

Have you tried limiting the encoder threads in the current release? Perhaps even start at 1.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

The mystery error -12 has been around since they separated the encoding process from the gui.

You can try limiting encoder threads to try to work around your hardware problem; try threads=8 and experiment higher or lower from there.

I disagree, transcoding has no effect on the physical disk.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

The fix needs to come from Intel/Gigabyte, not HB. HB can't (intentionally) make your computer suddenly reboot.

Here's a story about the broader 13/14th gen Intel stability issues and workarounds.

Re: Handbrake Stopped Working Reliably

It's a pretty new machine - only about a month old - but has been working great up to now. There is no overclocking or any other tweaking. My previous machine ran this combination of software for many years on an AMD processor. Let's see what I find when I stress test the hardware a little... You h...

So why did Handbrake evode Disc 1 with no problem ?
Unreliable third party hacks? How would we know without an encoding log provided for Disc 1?

Are you choosing the correct character set for the sub you're providing? I.e is the bad one really UTF-8?
