Log file always indicates default preset was selected even though it was not

Post by kgallagh »

Description of problem or question:

I selected the Android 720p30 preset but log shows Fast 1080p30 was used. I suspect this is just a display bug in the log file since the generated MP4 appears to be generated correctly.


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

I observed this today when converting a VRO file (previously recorded years ago on a Panasonic DVR) to an MP4 file. But I suspect this probably isn't relevant.


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.4.2


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Windows 10

The log is right, Fast 1080p30 is being used.

My best guess is, you're selecting the preset after adding the job to the queue, which won't work. Once a job is in the queue, its settings are fixed and completely unaffected by any changes you make in the main window.

You are correct. I figured that out late last night. It was one of those "Duh!" moments for me! In the words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, "Nevermind."
