HandBrake

Are you reading directly from the copy-protected DVD, or through something that is removing the copy protection first? A lot of people add a third-party utility to read from DVDs, then are surprised when the new install does not recognize their forgotten 3-party code.

[19:06:30] dnxhd-decoder done: 15878 frames, 26 decoder errors [19:06:30] sync: got 15878 frames, 42454 expected [19:06:30] sync: framerate min 29.970 fps, max 29.970 fps, avg 29.970 fps Why did it not read all frames? Was the source actually only 15878 frames long, despite having a calculated size...

The people who created the copy allowed the compression utility to encode into it the commands necessary. They did not use handbrake, so the command line is not the same.

If it's important to emulate them, you would want to use the same commands on the same program.

Since it takes 3rd-party software to have handbrake "read" a DVD, it would take 3rd-party software to automatically name files based on what that 3rd-party software did.

So, probably not.

Handbrake WILL open empty, it just doesn't like it. Hit escape when it's prompting you to select a file if you're going to do something like this. They changed the behavior to ask-on-open because most people didn't want to do "weird things", like change the configuration on load. I'd prefe...

The file name is set when the file is loaded , according to the rules you gave handbrake. When you change the rules, reload the file , so the new rules will be used. Don't reload, and you've got the old rules used to create the file name... Looking at the Windows section, I do not see a previous mes...

TVs generally want the subtitles FLAGGED as "forced". MakeMKV does not do that except in certain very specific situations. Handbrake does not do generally. I've found that to get a TV to display subtitles, they have to be modified with mkvtoolnix's editor to set both "default" an...

You can encode a video without compressing it, but generally you do it to make it smaller (compressing). 99.99% the same thing.

As I understand the Roku, it reads the title from the file being played, avoiding reading the TRACK title. So you have to make sure the encode includes the title IN the file, which can be a problem with early versions of handbrake.

What version of handbrake are you talking about here?

License for MakeMKV is sometimes tricky. The basic license for the download expires after 60 days. There is a message on the forum (sticky, actually) that has the current key in it. For BD and UHD, you have to enter the password after 30 days to re-enable it. Some people actually change their system...

What rollin_eng said. Handbrake, by itself, is not a DVD/BD/UHD ripping program, because it has no decryption code in it. So you have to add a program to do the decryption. The DLL approach you tried covers 80% or more of DVDs, with no BD or UHD support. It has little in the way of diagnostics when ...

If you want more detail than Rollin_eng's answer, you would have to give a LOT more detail than your random question.

And the 533 height might not be very good to shoot for.

If you can address them, (official) handbrake can read them. Just remember that handbrake does not include decryption, so you will have to provide a way to decrypt any disks you're trying to feed it. If you're using some version of it that includes decryption, you will have to ask the distributor of...

Your log does not show what choices handbrake made, just that your source had PCM encoding for the audio. This is where the encode log is helpful, to see how the choice was made.

Do you have the encode log? That normally shows what choices are enabled and are made for each audio channel.

If you install it "fresh" now, it will default to ".mp4". But you've run it from when the default was ".m4v", and it retains your existing settings nowadays. It's a compatibility thing. It "used to be" that you had to have .m4v to enable the advanced settings ...

"Apple 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround" defaults to MP4 file output, which is not compatible with PGS subtitles. The SINGLE track you select MUST be burned in.

What do you get when you specify an MKV-type file output?

You asked for an MKV (with PGS subtitles) to be converted to an MP4 (not compatible with PGS subtitles). Handbrake burned the selected track in to the video, selecting ONLY the subtitles that were tagged as "forced". Typical MKV files with subtitles, ripped from video sources, do NOT have ...

Handbrake has not defaulted to reading DVDs for over a decade. On Linux, the default setup will NOT access a DVD unless forced to, and the non-standard versions offered by a number of vendors will require vendor-specific changes to work... as well as those vendor-specific versions work. Tools like M...

The handbrake client works on ONE FILE AT A TIME. When you select a different title, EVERYTHING KNOWN ABOUT THE PREVIOUS TITLE IS THROWN AWAY. So your procedure is, "Select a title, make a change, then toss that change away when I select a different title". Changes are only remembered when...

Add to Queue Click Subtitles tab then click Clear on each file but when I go back to the file, Handbrake automatically re-adds the subtitle. When you re-added them to the queue, did you take the subtitles out? You describe adding them to the queue, THEN CHANGING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, but not replaci...

Sounds like the image has a problem. This is why handbrake does not include "software for ripping", because ripping is where a lot of problems occur with damaged disks. If you try ripping the disk with actual ripping software, such as MakeMKV or AnyDVD, do they see the "whole file&quo...

Use a player that doesn't announce the name on playback.

Assuming you aren't burning the title in, which would be unusual. Handbrake does not normally insert a title in the video.

I just typed at someone who was questioning whether the MakeMKV license was limited by architecture, or worked on all version for Intel, AMD, or even the ARM versions... MakeMKV is available on Windows, MacOS, and multiple Linux versions.

MakeMKV will include most everything if you ask it too. You can expand a track to see what's in it, and say yes/no to things within it.

AnyDVD can also do this stuff, although I haven't tried it.

You do realize that reading encoded DVDs is not a native function of handbrake, correct? Attempting to do so involves a third-party library.

Reading your log file indicates that the DVD-reading library is having trouble reading the disk. It probably needs cleaned.
