Simply backup the Handbrake.exe file in your c:\program files\handbrake folder and replace with the file above.

un-install 2.4.0 first before installing this!

When generating a query with no destination, you still get the warning - but perhaps the creation of the query could be stopped or nothing could be generated?

I also found that I couldn't update preferences:
1) Select iPod Hi-Rez
2) Change width to 361
3) Select Presets -> update built-in presets
4) Change to another preset
5) Change back to iPod Hi-Rez

I'm assuming this meant that it would save my changes to that preset.
(on Vista x64 - running as admin)

It will still generate. I often use it for script testing and I insert a varible where that is. Just my preference.

No, Update Built-in Preset(s) means the same as it does on the Mac.

Basically, its a feature that won't be used for this build.

What it does is, if in the next version after this, the pre-sets change then hitting that will reset them to the new versions. Also if you remove a preset it will re-add it (again its a future thing)

I'll set it to invisible before release so people don't get confused.

and Thank You. Keep trying to break it ;) goes for anyone else 2

Also 2 Bugs folks should be aware of

- The on startup update checker won't turn off on that build. [Fixed in SVN]
- "Copy to Clipboard" does not work [May not make it into this build] will be removed before release if it doesn't

Another small thing - when clicking encode video but things like destination and source are empty the gui still launches the cli. Shouldn't this be stopped?

Probably Lant although it's not really a huge issue. It'll simply open/close. I'll checkin a fix at some point.


New development build exe just went up. (un-install 2.4.0 first before installing this!)

Note: The Open/Save buttons under preset act the same as the old File Menu open/save. Any saved preset's do not appear in the preset's list. (This will be implemented at a later date.

Just noticed something on the lastest from the svn (977) - that if you dont select any presets you cant type in the Width/Height boxes.

This is also compiled for x64.

Sounds like Anamorphic is selected. (Won't allow you to change resolution)

Might be an idea for me to make an alert for that so people don't get confused.

2.4.1 vs 2.4.0

Hi. Just popped in to say that where 2.4.1 works for me when trying to encode a DVD to mp4 on Windows XP, 2.4.0 crashed. So whatever you're doing is making things better. :)

Regarding the 2.4.0 problem: if I gave my DVD ISO as "source", handbrake started to examine it, only to crash moments later and I got greeted with the "send a problem report to MS" dialog. I then tried mounting the ISO with Virtual CDrom Control Panel, but if I gave the VIDEO_TS directory as "source", handbrake crashed yet again.

Works perfectly well with the 2.4.1 build I downloaded today from the link in the topic.

So, good job :)
