I have seven bug fix requests that I wish you would make fundamentally. I am a long time user - have encoded thousands of mp4s with Handbrake. I can't understand the best place to make this request so please feel fre to delete this post if you don't like it here.
1. In MediaFork the Average bitrate is no longer dynamic in the grey area below an active Target size quantity.
2. Could you add an interactive grey Target Size to when Average bitrate size is active please?
3. Make 2-pass encoding the default checkbox ON
4. Make Framerate default 29.97 instead of "same as source" because when you encode with "same as source" it isn't "same as source" it's 24fps.
5. Please Please Please switch the Deinterlace Picture checkbox default to ON CHECKED ON ON ON ON ON PLEASE for the love of GOD.
6. Is is hard to make the aspect of HDTV Images 640 x 360 instead of 624 x 352? What's up with that bug? Same problem with SDTV. Why can't it be 640 x 480 instead of 544 x 400?
7. If there's a DVD IMage mounted, MediaFork won't let you open an image somewere else so you have to quit the application and relaunch it before you can be presented with a real browse dialog box.
I'd say MediaFork is a definite step BACKWARDS from Handbrake so far. Why turn your back on a proven brand name? I don't get it.

Re: MediaFork Missing Average bitrate (kbps) In Grey Under T
It actually sort of is. You just have to click around a bit before it detects that a new target size was set. It's on my local list of bugs to add to the Trac eventually.FutureMedia wrote:1. In MediaFork the Average bitrate is no longer dynamic in the grey area below an active Target size quantity.
Sounds reasonable. Added to my local list of feature requests.2. Could you add an interactive grey Target Size to when Average bitrate size is active please?
No, because then we'd have to deal with users complaining that their encodes are taking twice as long as they used to.3. Make 2-pass encoding the default checkbox ON
You can set it yourself when we release the next beta, with presets.
Ponder this: a lot of people don't encode much 29.97 fps video, and rip a lot more soft-telecined films.4. Make Framerate default 29.97 instead of "same as source" because when you encode with "same as source" it isn't "same as source" it's 24fps.
Now imagine we change the default. A lot of people won't look, and will complain that the file size has ballooned. Or, if they set a target file size, they'll complain that their picture quality has gone down.
Now, imagine how [Censored] they'll be when we explain that we're purposefully bloated the default output in order to satisfy you?
This is certainly open to discussion, though. Our admin, rhester, does a lot of hard-telecined material.
But quite frankly, this, like a default for two-pass, is best handled by user presets.
The screwed up autodetection is already listed as bug in the Trac.
NO. Give me on good reason why we should, by default, drop half the source's content.5. Please Please Please switch the Deinterlace Picture checkbox default to ON CHECKED ON ON ON ON ON PLEASE for the love of GOD.
HDTV images? huh?6. Is is hard to make the aspect of HDTV Images 640 x 360 instead of 624 x 352? What's up with that bug?
And you might want to google "mpeg mod16" to understand why 352 and not 360.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Open an image somewhere else? You mean you've launched MF, pointed it at a mounted image of a DVD, and now you want to change the browse location to another mounted disk image and it won't let you without a relaunch? Try clicking the radio button back to browsing by detected volume, then click the DVD Folder/Image button again, and the Browse button will be active again.7. If there's a DVD IMage mounted, MediaFork won't let you open an image somewere else so you have to quit the application and relaunch it before you can be presented with a real browse dialog box.
I'll file this away as a minor bug to add to the Trac.
So use HandBrake 0.7.1 forever. If you're unhappy about the beta, nothing's stopping you from joining development. Or are you only here to complain and beg for features?I'd say MediaFork is a definite step BACKWARDS from Handbrake so far.
How exactly is it a big step backwards? The lack of dual audio support, something the MediaFork team didn't break in the first place?
Sigh...try reading. rhester posted a full explanation last night, which is advertised at the top of every page on the forum.Why turn your back on a proven brand name? I don't get it.
We used the name MediaFork because we couldn't get in touch with titer and had no right to use his name and icon without permission, when for all we knew he was only taking a hiatus and could continue development at any time.
If you bothered to read, or even look around you, you might note that we're in the midst of a migration back to the HandBrake name.
