HandBrake

Among the questions that such a log would provide insight into, are "What type of subtitles?", "What type output file?", and. "What did you ask handbrake to do?"

Right now, we know that you start with MKV files, but not what type you end with.

Probably because the current versions aren't intended to run on 32-bit systems. It has been a number of years since they compiled to 32-bit code. Edited to add: Version 1.0.7 seems to be the last version that offered a 32-bit version. https://handbrake.fr/rotation.php?file=HandBrakeCLI-1.0.7-win-i68...

Apparently, you have installed a third-party DVD reading library, but have not figured out how to get the non-GUI command line program to use it. Did the third-party vendor not include those instructions?

With no information to work with, it is very hard to guess at what you need to do. If the subtitles are already hard-coded, there would not be a reason to "encode them in". Do you want the file "bigger", "smaller", or "same size"? How was it encoded originally...

Handbrake reports that the DVD decoder stopped sending data to it, citing a read error. It finished with what it had.

Finding out why your DVD drive could not read the disk will be helpful, but this isn't an actual handbrake issue.

A log that shows what you have would be nice. No, let's say it's pretty much required.

I transfer multiple subtitles to videos quite often, but not knowing what you have, it is hard to say, "Do this and it will fix it!"

Handbrake is not a "DVD ripper". Have you tried using something that is?

I personally use MakeMKV, but others exist.

The video will always be processed - handbrake IS a video program, that does some other helpful things.

If you do not want the video processed, there are other tools. ffmpeg, for example, can be told to only process audio in the file.

Ripping direct from encrypted disks is not supported by handbrake.

That's why most people rip the video with something like MakeMKV, then encode the MKV files that are generated.

Splitting a file will require running handbrake for each "episode" you want, so it isn't "one expansion." By frame doesn't always work out exactly, because you do not have individual "full frames" in most files. You have a base frame, and differences to move to the next...

Your snapshots are useless, other than to point out why you think something is wrong. It is a 3 hour 10 minute video from a DVD; expanding it to 12GB would be highly unusual, unless you encoded it to expand EVERYTHING, and remove compression. And it certainly wouldn't grown to 21 hours long. So yes,...

Is there a particular reason why you don't like the included high quality settings? They are bound to be better than what you get from your streaming service.

If you want them permanently synchronized, including them in the MP4 file would be appropriate. Although, usually the people who create SRT files include the sync data in the subtitle itself.

And what other components have you checked? You've not specified WHAT error message you are receiving, so you might have a bad .NET component, or pretty much anything.

It would appear that handbrake cannot parse the audio track, so it ignores it.

VOBSUB, like PGS, are usually pictures of the text, not actual text like would be found in a .SRT file. You would also have to do character recognition to make them into an SRT.

Select a video. Set the parameters for that video. Click on add-to-queue button. You can also select "start encode" button at this point. Select next video. Set the parameters for that video. Click on add-to-queue button. Select next video. Set the parameters for that video. Click on add-t...

I was looking at the M4V file with VLC version 2.2.6, which is "very old" but works for what I need. (It's old enough that it sees the "chapter" file that was generated by handbrake as a separate subtitle track). You must consider that I converted this from the original MKV file ...

Looking at Babylon 5 Crusade DVD, I see two English subtitle tracks. One is "all subtitles", the other is "forced only". Neither has "flags" that says "forced", so your settings won't find them to burn in. You should have gotten some subtitles set as a subtitl...

[21:41:40] * subtitle track 1, English (4:3) [VOBSUB] (track 0, id 0x20bd, Picture) -> Passthrough, Forced Only , Default You probably do not have any FORCED ONLY subtitles in the track. They're actually rare in commercial sources, as they'll put a second track in with "just" the forced s...

Where are you downloading it from? The official version is multi-language.

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.
