Fast Decode Option - Check if used

Post by summoner1 »

Hi there, I'm analyzing a mkv-file, that I've encoded with HandBrake in h264.
Usually I use the Fast Decode Option.

Especially with this file I'm not sure if it was set.

I've downloaded MediaInfo and tried to check if there's a point in the files Meta if the Fast Decode option was set.

Unfortunately I don't really understand where I could look for this option.

Does anyone know how to check the file and when it's possible with MediaInfo where I have to look for it?

Thanks, Summoner.

The fastdecode tune is just a macro for a couple encoder options; you could pick the options without actually choosing the tune, or have picked the tune and then overridden one or more of the options back to the default.

In the encoder options that MediaInfo shows, look for the following (will be formatted a bit differently):
--no-cabac --no-deblock --no-weightb --weightp 0

And of course the information is in your HB log files, but since you posted here which is not for support or help related to HandBrake, we won't discuss that option.

Well it’s a good job you’re not a moderator and I don’t have to listen to you.

If/when the OP summons a log, we can move this topic to the appropriate subforum.

Hi everyone,
thanks for your reply, which helped a lot.

As you see in my first post it was just a simple question, there's no need to attach a log-file, because there's nothing to debug.
When this was posted in the wrong forum, pleace accept my appologies.

Best regards, Summoner1
