All of my outputs just say File now.

Post by bossmonkey »

Description of problem or question:
I think I made a mistake somewhere, everything I put through Handbrake now for some reason just comes out listed as File. I assume this means that Windows doesn't recognize the file type. I don't remember making any changes to my settings but this all started with a collection of 100+ files I was converting over from MKV last night. The first 5 are M4V, everything after that is just File and I can't open it. I've been using Handbrake for months without issue so I'm getting a little concerned.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
I reran some of the files that worked through Handbrake and now they're showing up in this mystery format



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Originally 1.3.3, then downloaded 1.4.1 this morning and it still doesn't work.



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 Home 10.0.19043

You removed the file extension:

"[10:54:41] + N:\Television\Smallville\Season 5\Season 5 Episode 1 Arrival"

Add .mp4 or .m4v back on (You can rename your existing files) and it'll be fine.

That did it! Thank you very much for your help. One more question, I don't think I've ever had to add the file extension before this. Did I modify some default or something that is keeping Handbrake from adding it automatically? If I need to start adding it to the back end of my file names that's fine but I'd rather avoid it if I can.

You must have accidentally removed it somehow. It's present by default with the autoname functionality and the browse button. Of course if you manually type into the box, you must add it.

Gotcha, that must be it. I'm kind of anal about naming convention and it's easier to copy paste the box when I'm doing it in bulk like that. Usually I use Browse so that might be it. Thank you very much for your help!
