Handbrake Freezes during encode???

Post by MacuserJ »

Hi-

I'm trying to encode some movies for the kids to use on iDevices and keep getting freezes during encoding. I have a 9mo iMac and I am storing the encodes on an external HD. Handbrake seems to freeze (for an hour or more) at any point in the process from less than 1% encoded to 90%+ encoded. Sometimes it works perfectly and I can encode several movies in a row. It freezes on old movies and brand new out of the box. I have not tinkered with any of the settings and used the Apple Universal preset. I do rename the file to reflect film title but keep the extension the same. I also point the save to my external HD. Once Handbrake freezes I have to force quit Handbrake and then I can no longer restart or shut down my iMac-it hangs on shutdown and I have to do a hard shut down. When Handbrake freezes I see the same percent complete and the fps rate never varies or drops to 0 and the ETA time is frozen as well.

Having read some of the posts here I have tried the following: turned off time-machine during encoding, turned off iMacs auto sleep mode, deleted .plist files, made sure VLC and Handbrake are both 64 bit versions, uninstalled and reinstalled Handbrake, not running any other applications or activities during an encode, making sure discs are cleaned before use, and repaired permissions through the disc utility.

Any advice at this point is appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the most recent activity log from one of the freezes:

Re: Handbrake Freezes during encode???

Post by thompson »

Sounds like a heating issue, which honestly is somewhat surprising as Apple devices tend to be pretty good with heat (vs cheapo-generic PC).

Here's a question: next time an encode freezes, try restarting your Mac and then doing the exact same encode again. See if it freezes at the exact same point, or if it completes successfully / fails somewhere else. Handbrake encoding is deterministic, so if it's going to fail at 84.3% on one encode and it's due to a bug in the encoding, it'll fail at 84.3% every time. Hardware failures of some sort (hard drive, heat, etc) would cause variability.

Re: Handbrake Freezes during encode???

Post by MacuserJ »

When an encode fails and I restart the system and try again it will fail at a different point. For example, the first encode might fail at 5.47% and the next at 66.81%.

Heat issues are totally new to me-what exactly is heating up? What do you do about it?

Interestingly-this is the only thing that ever causes the computer to freeze like this.

Thanks!

Re: Handbrake Freezes during encode???

Post by thompson »

Video encoding is one of the most taxing things that you can do for your CPU. The more work you ask your CPU today, the hotter it will get. This SHOULDN'T cause any problems, and if it is an overheating issue then this indicates that there is some sort of problem with your hardware that should be covered under warranty. The reason you haven't seen this with other activities is just that few things will cause your CPU to work as hard for as long.

It could be some other hardware fault too, but this definitely sounds like overheating. Try downloading iStat Pro, which is a dashboard widget that will show you the CPU temperature (among other things). Start an encode and then switch over to Dashboard and monitor the "CPU" temperature (there will be a bunch, but that's the most important). On most Apple hardware you should see that spike right after you start the encode, then start coming down as the fans kick in. Watch it and see what the temperature settles at after a few minutes / as it gets close to where it's frozen in the past, and post it back here.

On the other hand, it could be some issue with your external hard drive, though I don't think that would cause the entire system to lock up like that.

Re: Handbrake Freezes during encode???

I downloaded Temperature Monitor.

I've been watching the CPU Core temps as I encode. I've had 3 successes and one failure today. The temp appears to climb slowly over the course of an encode without any rapid spike. I have also never heard the fan engage. The non encoding temps appear to be from the mid 40s to low 50s (degrees C). The peak temp I observed during encoding was 79C. I wasn't there to observe the temp at the time of the failure but once frozen the temp had dropped into the 40s.

Still confused as from what I have read these are not abnormally high temps for such CPU intensive work. But as I mentioned this is a new topic for me and I don't know much about it.

Anymore ideas or advice appreciated.

ETA: I have now had 3 failures and the CPU Core Temp has never risen over apx 80C and definitely didn't hit 83C after checking the history graph on Temp. Monitor.

Re: Handbrake Freezes during encode???

Hmm, that seems to point to it not being a heating issue. My Macbook Pro will regularly settle at about 90c during encodes and can just stay at that temp indefinitely without troubles.

It tends to miss a bunch of stuff, but might be worth trying: have you ran the Apple Hardware Test that's included on your installer CDs?

Re: Handbrake Freezes during encode???

Ok-I finally dug out my installation CD and ran both the regular and extended Apple Hardware Test. Both reported no problems.

In the meantime I've tried verifying and repairing disk permissions for my HD in the disk utility regularly. I also, on the basis of another thread, I went in and in Handbrakes advanced preferences unchecked the libdvdnav box-wondered if it would help.
I am still having the random freeze ups described in my original post. Sometimes the DVD will freeze several times but eventually work sometimes I get frustrated and move on.

Help! Please!

Thanks!
