x265 [error]: picture dimensions are out of range for specified level

Translation: Allow handbrake to select the level automatically, rather than trying to force a specific encoder level.

thanks for the direction. for anyone else coming to this post

Video tab > Encorder Options > Level > auto

results in no errors.

Should the level option always be auto?

The "factory stock" presets usually have level set to Auto, but your "h-now" preset appears to have 4.0 set.

odd.. seems like the factory one was set to 4.0 Selected Fast 1080p30 and it was 4.0. Good to know what the factory should be.

thanks!

The Fast 1080p30 preset was within the limits of level 4.0, at a fixed maximum resolution of 1920x1080. When you removed that restriction (saved it without the resolution limit), it needed to be changed to Auto.

It seems strange to have to manually set auto, but...

1920x1200 is more pixels than 1080p though

ugh that's true. Always get confused with the aspect ratio equals to 1080p or 720 you wouldn't have a calculation for that? a x b = x if x >= pixel = 720 or 1080p?

You can tell because both numbers are greater than 1080.
