Handbrake "doesn't finish" encode/crashes

Post by CasanovaFly »

Running latest version of Handbrake on Windows 10.

I've been trying to convert files via Handbrake lately but have not been entirely successful. I use the same custom preset for everything:

Video
- H.264
- Framerate: same as source
- Variable framerate
- Constant quality, 17ish
- x264 preset: Medium
- x264 tune: Film or Animation
- H.264 profile: High, level 4.1

I passthru the audio. MKV container. I've tried a VC-1 (in MKV container) source as well as ripped DVD VOB files as well. What happens is that Handbrake will either crash outright (as evidenced by my latest attempt; log here: http://pastebin.com/LGr3MWd0) or it will go a bit of the way through and then flash to 100% complete with a fraction of the "completed" file available.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Do you have the windows crash report from the "outright crash"? It may have clues to why it is failing.

Are you able to provide a short / small sample file?

I suspec it's another libav decoder bug. v12.0 was a little buggy.

So, I've spent the last many hours running through a bunch of "test runs." I kept the same encoding profile as above, but tried different "speeds" from "ultrafast" through "slower." When I was on 0.10.2 I noticed that I would only fail on medium, but had success on other speeds. I tried that with the most recent release, and interestingly enough I successfully encoded everything, even on medium, though I tried it last.

So I suppose I'll hang back and see what develops, but I have another interesting issue: the files all vary in size. Same source, same length at the end of encoding, but they've all got varying overall bitrates at the same RF. Is this normal? Ultrafast turned out 29.4Mbs, very fast only 16.9, and medium 20.4.
