[Done] Quality factor into the filename

Post by blumi »

I would like it very much if the quality factor could be used to insert in the output filename.

{source}-{title}-{quality}

Sometimes I encode the same video with different quality factors. Then I have set the values manually into the filename not to loose the overview of the files.
movie_q20.mkv
movie_q21.mkv
If this could be made automatic by handbrake would be nice.

That would be very inconvenient for me. I need to have full control over file names or I would go nuts :?

However, making a log-file (not a super-detailed one such those requested on bug repports) that contain all user settings for that spesific video file.
Also it would have being nice if that log file also had a section about the source file.

What I would llike the log to contain:

Source file
  • name of file
  • Time stamps
  • Size in bytes, kbytes and Mbytes
  • Codec information (as in VLC codec information window)
Converted file
  • name of file
  • Time stamps for start and finnish, and how long time HB used for encoding.
  • Size in bytes, kbytes and Mbytes, and also a percentage that show the resulting file size compared to input file.
  • Codec information (as in VLC codec information window)
  • Any user settings used in HB to encode the file.
I suggest the log file name will be identical to the output video, but have a .TXT or .LOG extension.

How about just parsing the Activity Log?

I guess that would be a time consuming process.

No reason the parameter can't be added to the list of options.
