BUG : Batch encoding to H265 encodes to H264 instead

Post by Hanbrakeur »

Description of problem or question:

Hello, when I select a folder of videos to encode to H265, they encode to H264 instead.


Steps to reproduce the problem :

- Open Source > Folder Batch Scan > Select a folder
- Add to queue > Add All
- Click on a custom H265 preset
- Start Encode

Steps to avoid the problem : Select the H265 custom Preset BEFORE adding files to queue

- Open Source > Folder Batch Scan > Select a folder
- Click on a custom H265 preset
- Add to queue > Add All
- Start Encode

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.2.2 (2019022300)


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Steps to avoid the problem : Select the H265 custom Preset BEFORE adding files to queue
Your preset has to be selected before you add to queue.

Yes I know but it's a bug in my opinion. We sould be able to select the preset before or after. I lost literally 30 hours of encoding because I made that mistake.It took me a lot of time to find out why my videos were encoding to H264 even though H265 was selected. Hope the dev team fixes it, I'm sure a lot of people had the same problem but did not necessarily understand why it was doing that.

Items in the queue can have different settings thus the settings need to be applied before adding to the queue.

Oh I understand, but maybe the dev team should put a warning like "Do you want to apply these settings to this file or the whole queue ?". Better be warned than waste hours of encoding.

Maybe I am confusing this but just want to be sure before I too waste my hours away.


In the old versions, as long as the preset was selected, then file is opened, the settings to be used are that of the already selected preset.

Are you saying the preset has to be selected *again* after the file has been opened to make sure?

Hi Pitch,

Sorry if my explanations are confusing (english is not my first language) but for a safe batch encoding, the very first thing you must do after selecting the source folder is to select your preset (with single click). If you do this, you are guaranteed that all the files of your queue will be encoded with the selected preset.

The mistake I made was that I selected the Preset after clicking "Add to queue > Add all", which resulted in only the last file of the queue being encoded with the selected preset (and all the other ones with the default H264 preset).

Come back to me if you need more explanations.

This makes sense and has always been the normal behavior for as long as I have been using it.
