Video passthrough

Post by Lars_A »

Hello,

The option I miss in HandBrake is a video passthrough option, that would be really useful to re-encode audio without changing the video stream.

Thank you!

Thank you for READING THE RULES and SEARCHING before making a nontrivial feature request. It's kind of a rule they have here.

If the previous 10,000 responses to the exact same question aren't satisfactory, feel welcome to submit your own patch.

I doubt a patch that extensive would even be accepted.

Why would you need "video pass through" for a "video encoder"?

Did you read my post?: "to re-encode audio without changing the video stream".
Do you know that videos usually also include audio stream/s???

You miss the point - handbrake is a VIDEO ENCODER. As such, it encodes video. There are numerous reasons, which you could have read if you uses the search parameters Rollin provided, that explain why handbrake isn't ffmpeg, and why video pass through is not going to happen.
