Can you make a PREVIEW queue?

Post by nanohtpc »

hi guyz...

i found a problem...

when a make a PREVIEW of one file, its goes well the FIRST time, but when i do the second, the first one DISSAPEARS!!

can you make a PREVIEW Queue?, that way we put a list of files and hit the PREVIEW button and the result is a list of files with the same name but with the preview in the end...

TIA

This is the intended behavior.

You may instead want to use the chapter/seconds/frames controls to select a short segment of your file, and then make multiple short normal encodes to compare. For instance, only encode 30 seconds duration of video, starting at the 120 second point and ending at 150. You can easily queue up multiple encodes with different settings and file names this way, and compare afterward.

The problem is that i got 1,000+ videos!! cant make it that way...

and option that can process a folder and then only takes xx time from each file would be great...

imagine... previews of all your videos im just minutes... not hours....

You could use the CLI to do this.

Something like:

for i in *.mkv ;
do HandBrakeCLI -i "$i" -o "new/$i"

But you will need to add all your options and a start/stop time.

I suggest you look in the CLI forum for more examples depending on your scripting language preferences.
