Feature to check an existing file for errors
Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2017 7:23 am
Please describe what you would like to see added to HandBrake:
I would like to see a feature to check an existing file for errors. This could be done by using an ffmpeg command similar to the one below.
Why would you like to see this added:
Being able to do a basic integrity check on a file before leaving it overnight to convert could save a lot of time. I recently discovered that ffmpeg could be used as a basic error check, and I was very surprised to find errors in many video files that were popular downloads of recent media.
What version of HandBrake are you currently running:
1.0.7
What operating system and version and you currently running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):
Windows 10 x64
