Re: Can HandBrake defer it's video compression to a list of ffmpeg args?
why not just convert all my VOBs to MKV usual e.g. MakeMKV - that's a can of worms that (often enough to be really annoying) yields a file with audio/video sync issues. That's the first I've ever heard of sync issues after using MakeMKV. We don't recommend using HandBrake for ripping and direct eve...

Re: Translated text in a dubbed film
It *should*, but I haven't tested the feature in ages. Bit rot may have set inI'm not sure if handbrake handles multi-angle dvds
There should be a dropdown box that appears next to the chapter boxes that allows selection of the angle to encode.

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...

Re: DVD to 480P File Size unreasonably high
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 ...

Re: Change aspect ratio in version 1.5.1
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...

Re: Question - Encoding 8-bit Blu-ray using 10-bit encoder
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...

Re: Mixed Prog/Telecine standards

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.

Re: Anamorphic
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...

Re: "Video Pass thru" ?
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...

Re: general question: settings for merging multiple .MXF-files into one single MP4-file
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.

Re: [QSV] - VBR Feature Request / QP Max Bitrate Limit
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...

Re: [QSV] - VBR Feature Request / QP Max Bitrate Limit
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...

Re: How best to deinterlace a source that has both progressive and interlaced content?
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...
