Compiling handbrake cli under windows.

[scarface]

Any way to compile handbrake cli with vs2012 or another compiler? reading the wiki I found no solution.

[s55]

Nope. Cygwin used to work under windows, but we hanvn't been using that in a few years so I don't know what problems you'd find with it.

Typically, I find it easiest to run a Ubuntu VM inside Vmware or Virtualbox.

to the specialist s55. I already have ubuntu installed, winth mingw. also do you know what is the file where the default presets for handbrake are stored?

[s55]

It's generated at runtime. Have a look at presetService.cs.

Right now, it basically asks the CLI for it's presets, converts them to an internal format.

When I get time to make the plist import/export more robust, I'll probably switch to just using that fulltime so the format is consistent with mac.

Just for information purposes; Handbrake still compiles pretty easy with Cygwin, but you'll need to specify to use the build-in autotools in the GNUMakefile. You'll encounter some problems, but they are really easy to patch.

LOL, nice

Would the patches you speak of be appropriate for committing to our svn. I.e. do they work without breaking other platforms? If so, maybe you could post them here: https://reviews.handbrake.fr/dashboard/

In fact Im looking the file containing the default preset. As I dont have the time to look for them
No answer has been given and I didnt find them in presetservice.cs.
By the way I posted a silent installer of handbrake here:

[s55]

test/test.c The CLI has the presets built in. presetService launches the cli and parses then

The installer already has a silent flag (/S)

I know. it was just 7zipped with a command line.

here are the settings I use http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php? ... 74#msg8174. When I have time I will recompile handbrake with these settings. However its horribly long to encode with such settings. Probably my cpu is not adapted any longer.

Ive successfully compiled the cli. Unfortunately it doesnt work. I have a 11mb file versus a 19mb file for the original cli...

[Mogster]

My filesize doesn't match either - I get 20.7 MB, but it seems to be working ok.

Did you checkout from the SVN in Windows or Linux? I had problems using Windows so I had to do it directly in Linux.

I tested under windows. I remember I had a message saying the version is not compatible for 64 bits
