Handbrake won't open the second time I try

Post by Devilstower »

Downloaded Handbrake, read through the documentation, and by pairing it with DVD43 I was able to neatly scan and move several films to my iPhone. However, when it came to Casino Royale, I had no joy. After reading through the list of problem movies and seeing that others had also had trouble with that title (though it wasn't in the list of zero cells), I closed up Handbrake.

The next time I went to open it... it wouldn't start. Oh, the process gets going. I can pop up task manager and there handbrake sits, consuming 100% of one CPU. But the GUI never appears. I tried restarting the computer and trying again. Same thing.

Finally, I removed Handbrake and reinstalled. Once again, I was able to get it up and running, but as soon as I closed it and tried to reopen, it was back to 100% CPU but no interface land. It looks like I get one Handbrake session per install.

This is using Windows XP, SP2, .Net 2, 4GB ram, Core Duo 2.

There's a new windows gui version 2.4, out now, perhaps it was fixed:
