HandBrake

Cool, thanks GregiBoy. I'll give it a try.

I noticed in the default for Detelecine has change from “Default” to “Off” for High Profile. I’ve read over what this value does (https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/PictureSettings; also read this: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/Telecine) and if I’m reading it correctly (which I’m not entirely sure that...

The other day (while working with a Blu-ray) I selected the Subtitles tab, and noticed the Foreign Audio Scan for Source. I went ahead and selected it and check marked Forced Only and Burned In and boom, it worked! OMG, this has changed my life! I have a ton of Blu-rays that haven’t converted becaus...

Subtitles DO work in the later nightly builds. Select the Subtitles tab, click Add, Choose Foreign Audio Scan for Source and checkmark Forced Only and Burned In (or choose Default if you don't want just the forced subs)

That's not a bad idea. Thanks for your input Rodeo.

Wow, so it could/would end up being as large as the original file then?

Hello all, I just finished converting Alien (Blu-ray) with handbrake with no issues, however Aliens doesn’t seem to want to play as nice. I use I use very slow and film presets with a CQ of 21. Normally a BR conversion will take me 8-16 hours on my PC, but this one had been going for over 24 hours a...

I just did a second test and remuxing the file with mkvtoolnix does seem to resolve my issue. What's strang is not all of my conversions have that issue (though most do). It's not a big deal to have to remux it, I was just looking to save a step. THank you both GregiBoy and Rodeo for your input. Gla...

Hello all, I’ve been converting my DVDs and Blu-ray anime’s to MKV format using the latest nightly build of Handbrake; I use very slow and animation presets. The only difference between the two formats is I use CRF 19 for DVD and CRF 21 for Blu-ray and I will use DTS or AC3 pass-through for the audi...

Found a sort of workaround. 1. Exported each of my custom User Presets (highlighted, clicked Options -> Export). 2. Closed Handbrake 3. Renamed the user_presets.xml file (located: C:\Users\’USER’\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake) 4. Started Handbrake 5. Imported each of my custom User Presets (Options -> I...

Change it back to the old GUI and it works fine.

The latest SVN doesn't come with an old GUI; it's the new GUI only. Which minus this one issue I'm cool with. Just need that feature back and it's full steam ahead!

So that leads to problem, there is no way to save the Preset. Even if I created a new one and went to save the changes, normally you would right-click and select Save-Changes. That option is not available so there is no way for me to save changes to any existing presets or a newly created one. I alw...

Hi s55, So basicly I start up Handbrake -> Source -> Open File. Choose my ISO and let it load. Click my custom Preset on the right. Normally my preset has Detelecine and Decomb set to "Default", but they now are set to "Off". It's not a really big deal since all the rest of my va...

Hello, I have a few custom profiles and the video filters default to "off" under the new GUI (svn4741). In the old GUI I could make changes to the profile and then right-click it and select "save changes" but I do not see that option any more. Is there a way to make it save the c...

I gave your settings a try and alas, similar issues existed. The scan lines went away but I’m noticing other artifacts

I’m convinced that whoever did the conversion I ran across is both a technical and magical wizard!

Waiving the white flag. It is simply not meant to be.

Peronsally I noticed increased encode times with the newer nightly builds. Maybe give that a shot and see if it improves any.

Hi Proleter,

looks like you are beating your head against your keyboard as I have been. Good times!

So from the sounds of things you've had the best luck with a deinterlacing setting of 25? I'll give it a test and see how it looks and update my thread.

I use this:

Works really well for me and I believe it will open up M2TS files.

Cheers.

So I’m opening up this can of worms again because it’s driving me bananas! After doing more playing around with that setting above (otheroptions=whatever:tff) I realized it was adding extra artifacts to the edges, so it solved one problem only to create another. I gave up. I was fine. I was going to...

Thank you for the info SC. Much appreciated.

This is a slightly random question, but how would one go about duplicating the (mkvmerge) settings below in Handbrake. Specifically, how do you change the Format Profile (I’ve never really understood where that comes from) and the ReFrames value. Everything else I think I have figured out. General U...

My reason for distinguishing them as American cartoons is because those in the anime community are very distinct about what is an American cartoon (i.e. Batman the Animated Series) and what is Japanese Animation (anime; i.e. Cowboy Bebop). For as little as I know about the differences, I guess there...

you would notice pixelation artifacts (what you call "blocking"?) Yes, that is it, pixelation artifacts (I didn't know the correct wording). My setup is a WD TV Live (on a 60” and 40” LED) that talks back to my PC for DVD/Blu-ray and File access; basically it’s working like a media extend...

Hi mduell,

I’m familiar with the issues of black scenes in compressed video and this looks more than that to me; it's in nearly all parts of the episode (however the episode I’m picking on at the moment is a very dark episode). I'll see about putting up a snippet so you can see it yourself.

I’ve been spending WAY too much time trying to find the “right” settings for American cartoons (specifically I’m looking at my DC cartoon collection, Batman, Superman, Justice League, etc.) . I finally settled on the Very Slow & Animation presets from the “Tutorial: x264 presets/tunes and HandBr...
