I get the same thing with the PS3 presets, so far I've not found any settings that work.
Thats with Handbrake Version 0.9.2 (2008021900) on a intel imac OS X 10.5.2
PS3 version 2.10

I'd be interested if anyone has any suggestions or can provide working settings.


Thanks

I have an xbox 360, but oftentimes I just use the ps3 preset with some options manipulation. Once in awhile I, too, get the black screen on playback. No video. No sound. I don't know what's going on. Hmm....

Hi I have the same problem on some DVDs and on other not with Handbrake 0.92 and PS3 preset (x264). My PS3 has the latest 2.30 firmware but I observed the
same problem with the 2.20 firmware. I have a Intel Dual 2 Core MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.2.

What i observed is following:
- When using Handbrake 0.91 everything is fine (so all videos converted with the PS3 preset will play on the PS3)
- When using Handbrake 0.92 and PS3 preset some videos will not display a picture but sound is OK

Further observation:
- When a video converted with Handbrake 0.92 will not display picture on the PS3 then I try to convert it again with the PS3 preset (x264) but with auto-crop off.
I set the crop to manual and then 0 (zero) points crop from top, bottom, left and right border. Basically this means no crop.
Such video will then play fine on the PS3 (screen option: original and normal. Zoom option is not available)

The suggestion to set the crop that way that horizontal and vertical resolution are dividable by 16 did not help with Handbrake 0.92. Only manual crop and then
0 (zero) points crop or conversion with Handbrake 0.91.
