Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR - provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.
If you are unable to do so, please state why so we can help you.
Humble Apologies I have no idea what that means. What "two code tags"? I have even less idea what a "pastebin URL" is.
I seem to be struggling because I am guessing pretty wildly at how to "convert" the help syntax in to actual syntax.
I would dearly like to see several examples, very simple ones.
In (what seems to be) pseudocode terms I am trying to do this:
HandBrakeCLI -Z —preset “Very Fast 720p30” -i, --input 201609231238GP017326a.MP4 -o, --output 201609231238GP017326a720p.MP4
as a starter.
For example where it says "input" and "output" I am thinking it does not mean to include that text.
Also, on exit it seems my directory is being changed and I didn't notice that for a while.
All the attempts I have tried are listed above, all ending in depressing failure.
Usually and for years I have used the gui interface, but the lack of folder recursion (for reasons explained) means I have to delve deeper.
Regards
Anthony
