Creating My Output File

Post by Deleted User 44459 »

I'm sure this has been asked. I searched a little on google and these forums and couldn't find what I wanted.

Is it possible to have Handbrake create a folder that's the name of the movie when it outputs? For example output to M:\Movies\Avengers\Avengers.mp4? I like my movies in folders but I don't see a way for Handbrake to create that folder.

Thanks all!









HandBrake version 1.1.1

That depends upon whether or not your source file is in an appropriately-named folder. If it is, you can use:

Tools->Preferences->Output Files, Automatic File Naming, and include {source_folder_name} in the default path.

If not, you're stuck with manually adding the folder name to the output path.

this isn't working for some years now.
im now on linux and also not working.

would be nice if it was back by preferences--> auto_name_template
like : {source_folder_name}/{source}
where {source_folder_name} = parent folder name of sourcefile

I don’t think HB has ever created the folder.
