Handbrake stalls during encoding

Post by gskidmark »

I am having frequent issues where Handbrake stalls out during encoding. Sometimes 50%, sometimes 97.59%. It just gets stuck and sits there and pretends its going to finish someday but never does.

I then have to go to ffmpeg to get the job done, which I would rather not need to do.

Handbrake 0.10.5 on Windows 7

Please include the scan or encode log: This did not finish. Only made it to 97.59%

Could you try a nightly build.

https://handbrake.fr/nightly.php

If that doesn't work, would you be willing to share a sample that reproduces this?

Just out of curiosity what is your source and why are you encoding it?

The source is an MP4 file that is a webinar recording. Editing the in point to 00:21:10 and the out point to 00:46:24.

This is the source file:

Reproduced.

These kind of videos always cause problems and often appear to be non-soec complaint files too.
Either way, we can take a look see if anything can be done with it.

OK, so I know your not going to believe me, but john just figured out if you lower the audio bit-rate, it errm, encodes the file.

Some really oddball bug in the aac encoder in libav.

Your source has AAC audio, so maybe I'd suggest trying AAC Passthru instead of re-encoding it.

If you just need a section of the video it might be quicker and/or easier to find an editor that will cut out what you need rather than reencoding.

I tried the AAC Passthru and that did the trick! Thank you. I tried Aviddemux but it only lets you edit on keyframes and that doesn't work for me.

That's expected: If you want to cut without re-encoding, this is the only way to guarantee a clean start of the video. Otherwise, you'd get pixel garbage until the next key frame, as all in-between frames have differential information only.

So, if you need to cut exactly, re-encoding cannot be avoided (unless you get lucky and find a keyframe exactly where you need it).

Is there any way to work around this without using pass-thru? I'd rather not sacrifice the disk space to beat a bug. :/

In the above case, you're re-encoding a 64 Kbps track to 96 Kbps, so using passthru will save space, not sacrifice it…
