Re: Handbrake for Plex through AppleTV

Ok. What we would like to see would be an encode log from the prior version of Handbrake, and an encode log from the newer version of Handbrake, on the same file with the same settings (or as close as possible), where the file from the new version of Handbrake is having issues being served to your P...

Re: Handbrake for Plex through AppleTV

Are we talking about an AppleTV, an AppleTV 2, an AppleTV 3, or and AppleTV 3v2, or an AppleTV 4?

Re: Help Me PLEASE! Scrambled Video.

It's possible that if your source is an HDTV capture that the source is full of errors that Handbrake doesn't like. This is the way TS files are.

Look for something that fixes TS files at VideoHelp, or where ever, and use that first and then use Handbrake on the fixed file.

The acronyms .ssa and .ass have nothing to do with Handbrake. You should take that problem up with the groups that made those formats.

Re: HandBrake nigthly: are good sttings for UHD and H.265? Verify please!

If you refuse to post your encoding logs, we really can't help you with your concerns. You need to post a log from 0.10.5 and post a log from the nightly, working on the same file with the same settings. Remember that the MP4 container is more restrictive of what can be put in it, where as the MKV c...

Re: HandBrake nigthly: are good sttings for UHD and H.265? Verify please!

Personally, I would set the frame rate to be Same as source and make a test file with Constant Framerate and another test file with Variable Framerate. If they both work, you might be able to get better results with Variable Framerate.

Or - The canvas size of a bluray is 1920 by 1080 (unless it's 4K or UHD) so anything that is not 1.78:1 has black bars to fill the areas that don't have an image. If you want the black bars removed, then leave the automatic cropping on, if you don't want them removed, then disable the cropping or se...

And of course user presets are at the bottom of the very long list. So this would make it easier to select my ...

Re: How to burn-in forced subtitles from Blu-Ray?

You can also use a subtitle editing tool that will let you scan the subtitle streams, and you can narrow it down from there. I prefer to use SubtitleEdit , but to use it on your Mac you’d have to compile it from source. I do not know of anything that is a native OS X tool that is worth a darn. But I...
