The reason I ask is, I've got a couple of hundred files I've encoded for use in iTunes/AppleTV and due to recently acquiring a PS3 and Xbox 360 for my big screen TVs, wanted to convert rather than re-rip and re-encode everything if it was possible. I've found settings I'm happy with for all three devices to use one file, but pulling out the 200+ discs and re-ripping/encoding isn't too appealing. When I read about this feature I thought it too good to be true, but alas, it doesn't seem to work for me. I've attached a sample log from one of my attempts.
Any thoughts? I don't own a Mac, but if the Linux version of HandBrake is better suited for this activity, I could try to install it in my VM environment and see how it does, but I didn't want to go to that effort if I'm just misunderstanding what this feature is supposed to do.
I've searched on the error message, and the advice generally seems to be 'try it again', and I've done that (several times, including after fresh reboots just in case).
Thanks!!!
