Handbrake encoding stopping early

jryan15 · Post by **jryan15** » Mon Sep 18, 2017 2:39 pm

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:
Hi all, I'm trying to use handbrake to compress large MOV files (~6 Gb / ~55 minutes long / 1080P 30 FPS) that I have stitched together using FFMPEG. I have a total of 6 combined MOV files. Two of them compressed in HB with no issue. Four of them appear to have stopped compressing after 45,000 frames.

One key observation was that for the two large mov files that worked... Originally those movies were broken into 10 minute chunks (~990Mb each). I used FFMPEG to combine them into a >6Gb file. HB compressed them into ~2Gb mp4 files.

Here is how I merged the files using FFMPEG:

Code: Select all

(for %i in (*.mov) do @echo file '%i') > mylist.txt

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mov

For the four mov files that failed. Originally those movies were broken into larger files. It appears the gopro knock off broke them into 25 minute files ~2.167Mb each. I again used FFMPEG to merge these files into one large mov file >6Gb. I confirmed that these files do playback ok in VLC player. HB starts compressing but appears to stop early saying that it "got 45000 frames expected 94569 frames". Interestingly enough, 45000 frames appears to be the exact number of frames for a 25 minute video @30fps.

I think the problem is with stiching teh 25 minute files by FFMPEG even though it worked for the smaller 10 minute files. I would prefer to have handbrake both merge and compress the files, but I don't know if that is an option.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Can ffmpeg output them to mkv, might give you better options to fix them?

jryan15 · Post by **jryan15** » Mon Sep 18, 2017 6:34 pm

Hi and thanks, but it still didn't work... I used FFMPEG again and this time combined the files into a single large mkv file using the same process. Handbrake stopped compressing the file early again at exactly 25 minutes. Below is the log.

Maybe there's a bitstream header change that's throwing HandBrake off. Can you try the following way to combine the streams? MPEG Transport Streams don't have global bitstream headers, unlike Matroska or QuickTime.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy -f mpegts output.mts

I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Looks like that worked, thanks!

Most likely, there are very subtle differences in encoding settings between the videos you tried to join, which causes a change in the bitstream headers. Such streams are ill-suited to being stored in a MOV or MKV file, because these formats only support one global set of bitstream headers -- once it reaches the part where the content doesn't match the container-level bitstream headers, HandBrake's decoder can't reconfigure and fails to decode additional frames. There are hacks we could use to make this work, but it's not a great idea generally speaking.

On the other hand, MPEG Transport Streams and similar containers don't have global bitstream headers and are designed so that the decoder can easily reconfigure on changes in the bitstream format.

Thanks again. I'll compress the next couple files and will report back if there are any issues. In the meantime, this command set appears to work:

Code: Select all

(for %i in (*.mov) do @echo file '%i') > mylist.txt
ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy -f mpegts output.mts
