iPhone & iPod Touch preset broken in 0.9.4?

[svoboda77]

Video encoded with HandBrakeCLI 0.9.4 64bit on Mac OS X 10.6.2 with "iPhone & Ipod Touch" preset

Code: Select all

 ./HandBrakeCLI -i DVD -o ~/Movies/movie.mp4  -e x264 -q 0.589999973773956 -a 1 -E faac -B 128 -R 48 -6 dpl2 -f mp4 -X 480 -m -x level=30:cabac=0:ref=2:mixed-refs:analyse=all:me=umh:no-fast-pskip=1

cannot be synced to iPhone because of incompatible format.



The same video encoded by HandBrakeCLI 0.9.3 with the same options can sync to iPhone just fine. Do I need to use different settings in 0.9.4? I took the command line options from http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/BuiltInPresets#iphone - is it updated for 0.9.4?

No, the article isn't up to date. Due to changes in x264 defaults, using a 0.9.3-compatible options string in 0.9.4 will not produce the same output.

You can see the new presets' x264 options in the GUI. The new iPhone & iPod touch preset uses the following x264 options:

Code: Select all

cabac=0:ref=2:me=umh:bframes=0:subq=6:8x8dct=0

You can also use preset (built-ins only, not custom) with the CLI. IIRC, this should work:

Code: Select all

./HandBrakeCLI -i DVD -o ~/Movies/movie.mp4  --preset="iPhone & iPod Touch"

Don't forget you can use:

Code: Select all

./HandBrakeCLI --help

and http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide (not yet updated for 0.9.4, but many things are still applicable).

Thank you, I will try it.
