I've used "copy:*" for audio encoder for a while but after 1.0 update it no longer works. There's an error message something to the tune "invalid encoder". I switched to plain "copy". It works. Hopefully it even does the same thing.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64bit with the ppa.
Copy:* no longer works since 1.0

Re: Copy:* no longer works since 1.0
Just to be clear my original post was more of an FYI because I don't have a problem anymore. I can grab them if you'd like to take a look. Should I?

Here's the activity log: http://pastebin.com/tpeF7EE6. I have changed file names and the title.
Here's the command that led to it:
As previously stated, changing "--aencoder 'copy:*'" to "--aencoder 'copy'" gets rid of the error. Please let me know if there's a difference between them. My goal is to leave the audio as it is, to merely pass it through.
Here's the command that led to it:
Code: Select all
HandBrakeCLI \
-i in.mkv \
-o out.mkv \
-e x264 \
-b 2500 \
-m \
-v \
--two-pass \
--turbo \
--vfr \
--aencoder 'copy:*' \
-s "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25"
Re: Copy:* no longer works since 1.0
Not sure why 'copy:*' ever worked for you, but it was never meant to. The correct encoder is 'copy', and you set which codecs can be passed through via --audio-copy-mask (I believe all supported passthru codecs are enabled by default).
