Audio issues on iPod Classic when encoding videos

Post by alissa914 »

Description of problem or question:

I have videos I encoded last year using 1.2 (and some recently from Blurays I bought with 1.2.2)

The video and audio encode OK most of the time on playback. They play fine on the PC. But when I play them back on the iPod Classic 7th gen (2.0.4) using the video out cable, there is an audible scratch sound periodically that is always repeatable if you re-encode them. It has nothing to do with nVidia CUDA settings, QuickSync, etc. as it does it with it on or off.

BUT, it seems that you can fix the audio scratching by using VideoRedo TV Suite 6 and having the program re-encode the audio only and doing a stream copy of the video.

So this is telling me that something is up with the audio encoder. It's downmixing the 5.1 audio to Dolby Prologic stereo. But it does it with AC3 2.0 audio to AAC 2.0 160kbps audio too.

I don't think I can provide the video files because it's a BluRay I own, but here's the log file if it helps.

Hopefully you can see something I'm not... but aside from the VideoRedo TV Suite 6 fix, the solution is really just to use 1.1.2

And if you think it's not happening, once you play it using the video output cable with an Apple composite out dock (or component TV too), then the audio scratches every so often.... and after it starts scratching, it will also do it from the headphone jack too.

Sure, it's one of those "well, just use a different player" things, but it's weird that it was working fine for years until the upgrade of the audio encoder to 1.2

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Encode any video with 1.2.2 and encode to iPod Classic compatible format video and audio (160kbps stereo audio)



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.2.2



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 - 1903

Re: Audio issues on iPod Classic when encoding videos

Post by alissa914 »

I assume this is the reason..... Due to licensing issues, you couldn't use the Fraunhoffer AAC codec and use some open source variant which is inferior....

At least I know now, I guess. I'd pay for this software if I could get a good audio result from it.

Good to know I can use an older version

Yea, crap audio encoder. Compile yourself with FDK-AAC, it's pretty trivial to follow the directions.
