Parse -t0 output

Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:59 pm

Hello,

I would like to use Handbrake in order to copy dvd's or blurays to mkv or m4v.
I would like, in general, to copy all titles, all audio tracks, and all subtitle tracks.
For all audio tracks, it would probably be best to conserve the original track and also reencode to
dts.
If I had all the information concerning all titles and all audio and subtitle tracks, I could probably write a loop that
does all of this.
Using the -t0 option, one can parse the output of Handbrake in order to extract all the required information,
or I have the impression that all the information is coded in this output.
But I suspect that the Handbrake Gui is a frontend to the HandBrake CLI, so I suspect there must be some
useful parsers out there that already are able to parse the -t0 output and store the result in some kind of
object that has all these informations?
If anyone has informations on such a parser, or if anyone has a script that copies the entire dvd structure to mkv or m4v,
please help me out.

PS: as this is a general question about how to do things, there is no activity log associated to it. Hope this gets posted anyways.

Only the WinGUI is a CLI wrapper. Other UIs access libhb directly.

Feel free to have a look at the WinGUI source code and decide if any of its code is useful to your goal.

HandBrake has no DTS encoder.

Hi,
Did you ever manage to parse and process output from -t 0 ?

Nice necro-post :mrgreen:

Anyway, you might find it easier to use the '--json' option of HandBrakeCLI. It outputs the title information in json format. stdout looks like this:

Thanks!!!
How do you process the output?
Do you parse the output as a text file?

Thanks, I know I am asking stupid newbie questions:):)
