0.8.5b1 won't let me change settings
I have downloaded 0.8.5b1 for OS X, and I am running 10.3.9. I can run handbrake, but all it allows me to do is use the browse button, everything else is greyed out (I can't even rip a dvd). Any ideas?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Try trashing your preferences file. It may not be compatible with the new release. Or perhaps the system requirements are incorrectly stated on the download page.

I can select and open dvd or image using the Browse window, but after that everything else is disabled except for the following:deckeda wrote:Pimpbot, after you browse, what happens when you select a valid VIDEO_TS folder or DVD? Does HB then scan it?
Browse button
Video/Audio Tabs
Track 1 Mix
Presets

I am having the exact issue on 10.3.9. Either a physical DVD or VIDEO_TS folder can be browsed and scanned successfully. Shows the time of the program number of chapters etc, but nothing can be changed below "Output Settings."
I also posted this under "Nothing Happens" before I found this. Sorry for duplicate.

question: can you panther users see the "Presets" button in the upper right corner of the main window ? I just realized that button is not compatible with Panther and am wondering what you see right above the dvd source Browse button.
I have a panther test machine coming this afternoon. But that would help narrow it down.

okay, will try to look into it later today, But, all panther users beware, HB is definitley on the border of becoming 10.4 or later compatible.
Some of the new gui features we want to add will break Panther compatibility permanently.
As a side benefit, Tiger is faster even on an older G4 1 ghz powerbook than Panther.
But, as I said, I will look into it as soon as I have a panther test machine.

Thanks for your work on this!
Yeah I get the same "Preset" as a word that is clickable but doesn't look like a button. It toggles the preset drawer. I can click on 3 presets, HB Apple TV, HB iPod and HB PS3. This doesn't change anything.
Interesting about Tiger being faster on a G4 1ghz. I had heard the opposite, but will look into this as things are certainly moving away from panther. 10.3.9 sure is stable running my apple pro app, Logic tho....
Let us know if there is a fix for 10.3.9 in the meantime.
Thanks.

Okay, had a chance to check on Panther compatibility. It is not an easy fix. The new audio code for Dolby Pro Logic II in the GUi breaks Panther compatibility and is not easily fixed.
I hate to say it, but it is very likely that HB will now be a "10.4" or later application. It would be different possibly if some of our upcoming features werent definitly going to break Panther, but in all likelihood they will. So, unless further digging produces a quick fix, you will likely have to upgrade to 10.4 in order to use HandBrake 0.8.5b1.

....arghh....unhappy 10.3.9 user.
I noticed it's noted as 10.4 only now on download page but you might want to make it obvious on the homepage where there is a download link made available but no mention of 10.4 min.
See you in October, when I will be upgrading to Leopard. Best of luck in the meantime and thanks again for all the efforts.

<weakly> You could still use the CLI... </weakly> I know, it's not an optimal solution.suborbit wrote:....arghh....unhappy 10.3.9 user.
This weekend it will have been 2 years since Tiger came out. None of the developers have 10.3.9 machines to test on--we assumed it would still be 10.3.9-compatible because we weren't doing anything fundamentally new, like bindings.
However, in order to get the new audio mix-down stuff to work, a Tiger technology called tagging slipt in at the very last moment. Because it was added to make something work, not as a whiz-bang alteration just for the hell of it, it didn't cross anyone's mind that it might break 10.3.9 compatibility. That was something we were all trying to put off until the Mac GUI gets its long-destined overhaul, versions and versions down the road. But it happened, and it's staying. :/
