HandBrake

filename parsing script (written in python): http://github.com/ccjensen/mp4tvtags/

I have a script that automatically converts non itunes files to itunes compatible h264 files, then passes that file on to another scripts which uses the directory structure and file name to pull information from thetvdb and tag the files using atomicparsley. Then again another script that runs on my...

It should ask tough video transcoding related questions that force people to read handbrake's documentation first

then you assume correctly

perhaps you should follow the rules and guidelines you agreed to when signing up for these forums, before you go pointing fingers. And how about some respect for the people who volunteer their time to make the product you speak so highly of? Post an activity log of one of the "failed" tran...

quicktime pro with perian plugin (to read mkv files) should allow you to do the passthrough you requested, as long as the audio is correct (can never remember if it's AAC or AC3 you want in mp4/m4v files)

what a coincidence. I tried transcoding lord of war a couple of days ago, and I also got audio out of sync. I just figured it must have been due to the use of fairmount, and figured I would retry next week ripping it with mtr. Must be something with the movie that is causing handbrake to be thrown o...

Early seasons of The X-Files are 1.33:1 (4x3), later ones 1.78:1 (16x9). I think the split is either the season before or after the first movie... whenever production moved from Vancouver if I remember correctly. The movie takes place in between season 5 and 6, which is when the switch in aspect ra...

could you explain in what way metax strips the markers? Ie, does it recreate the chapters, or does it actually remove something?

I've done 4 encodes using the appletv preset, 62% constant quality, loose anamorphic, default decomb, and advanced set to:
ref=3:mixed-refs=1:bframes=3:weightb=1:direct=auto:no-fast-pskip=1:me=umh:subq=7:analyse=all:b-adapt=2

Looking good so far

that worked like a charm... I feel like a moron
Thanks

I am using an old iBook as a mediaserver, but it just doesn't cut the job to encode my dvds to h264, so I am having to use my main machine (a mbp) to do the encoding. I have my fingers crossed that the rumors that apple will be bringing out macs with built in h264 chips are true, and they release an...

ended up re-ripping the movie using the fairmount / dtox, and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks for the help guys

thanks nightstrm. I have been lurking for a few days, and figured if the guys developing handbrake are going to take the time to look at my issues, then the least I can do is comply by the few suggestions in the stickies of the bugs forum :) I will give a quick encode a try. The thought hadn't even ...

brilliant!
Will give that a try and report back. The encoding process takes about 6 hours on my current computer, so fingers crossed it works this time!

edit: it was ripped using mtr. It's all good, dynaflash. No hard feelings! Me coming in as a new user, first post, and source is located in downloads folder; I think anyone would jump to the same conclusion you did. Anyway, on with business. I have run this through a demo of dtox, and there are no z...

Hey guys, Tried 3 times to encode this movie, but it reaches 100%, sticks there for 20minutes or so, and then crashes.
