Need Simple CLI Arguments for Apple 1080p30 Surround Preset

Post by MY-Encoder »

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:

I simply need the CLI arguments for the "Apple 1080p 30 Surround" Preset.

Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What operating system are you running. etc.

Handbrake 1.0.7 Windows 10

If there was any exception or error displayed, please copy it and paste it here:

I'm using Dropfolders to create a watch folder and don't know the arguments needed for the "Apple 1080p 30 Surround"

Please include the scan or encode log:

No real error because I didn't put in any arguments as I don't know what to put in there :)

You can call presets from the CLI but you might need a nightly build.

I apologize in advance, but i'm really a noob.

I just want to setup a watch folder like I do with Media Encoder. I don't know what a nightly build is.

I'm really close, I can get it to render properly in the watch folder, but it doesn't render at the correct preset because I'm just using the normal default arguments in the Drop Folder app.

This is what the default argument is for reference: I need the AppleTV 1080p30 Surround.

-e x264 -q 20.0 -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -R 48 -D 0.0 -f mp4 --strict-anamorphic -m ref=2:bframes=2:subme=6:mixed-refs=0:weightb=0:8x8dct=0:trellis=0

https://handbrake.fr/nightly.php gets you to the nightly builds page. These are the most current "work in progress" versions of Handbrake, which have features destined for the next release version.

You can install them in parallel with the release version, and you could install "just" the CLI if you want, but you'll want the GUI also, so that you get the presets you want to load in the CLI.
