HandBrake

Hi!

I recommend Handbrake ro a friend (have been using the Mac version for months) and he thinks that when he installed it on his PC, it made all his audio files from a Nero folder disappeared. Is there any chance that Handbrake did this and, more importantly, is there a fix?

Many thanks to all!

Not even remotely possible that handbrake caused this. IT has no interaction with nero what so ever.

Wow! Lightning fast reply! Many thanks!

I just wanted to add how much handbrake can be a great utility for educators who want to show only parts of movies. Brillant app! Thanks.

glad to hear.

I'm no expert on this, but I do try and keep on top of what happens within my registry.

I see no interaction whatsoever with HandBrake and other apps. I can't see any potential conflicts like I can see with several other apps. Other than .Net framework, HandBrake is pretty much a stand-alone, independent app.

I have Nero too and can see no way HandBrake can affect it.

Hi PuzZLeR

I don't think it affected Nero itself but his audio library that was in a folder named Nero (audio files he extracted withe Nero) disappeared.

If you have any idea, it would be greatly appreciated!


Cheers!

Most likely the user deleted the files, or changed something himself.

I'm with stmiller on this one. No other clue other than the user did something more than just install HandBrake.

All I can say at this point is use Restore Point (if he has XP) and if that doesn't work there are several "Un-erase" apps online that are not expensive if he wants to try them.

Or, if that's not enough, then there happen to be methods that a technician can attempt. I've gotten data rescued in the past years ago, and techniques for this science have developped even better today.

Good luck. Data loss is painful.

Brillant advice! Many thanks to all of you!

I tried to understand what he could have done other then install HB... He didn't know (which is never a good sign ). I'll explore the avenues you suggested.

Again, many thanks!


Cheers.
