I'm kinda new to this particular game and so I hope I'm not asking a silly question. I need to buy a UPS. The research I'm doing is a little inconsistent. Some things report that you need a UPS to provide a pure sine wave and other people say it isn't terribly important. Honestly, I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks to get a UPS that will 'just work' and not require much time playing with it. I really only need something that will allow me to set unraid (v6.1.3) to gracefully shut itself down if the power is out for more than a few minutes. This is a simple home application, so I don't need anything fancy. I just want to power the unraid box and maybe one other desktop machine running windows (plus monitors for both). Any reco's would be greatly appreciated. (and, should I bother upgrading unraid to 6.1.8 first) Thanks, Chris

Using the GUI to create a script is pretty easy, it turns out. After you choose your settings, go to the 'Query Editor' tab and click the button to generate the query. This represents the command line arguments to the CLI. Here is a link to the Handbrake page with the parameters: http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide One thing to look out for is that the gui will generate a file with the chapter increments. The flags for this will be on the generated query unless you go out of your way to turn them off. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out if there was a problem with my encoding when it turned out that somehow I had the 'c' setting in there limiting me to the first 17 chapters of a movie. In case it might help someone out, here is the script that I put together for encoding movies for my iPhone (based on the iPhone settings of Handbrake). Note, you may not have your movies in the same place I have mine Thanks again for building this. This is such a great addition to my server and stuff like this is the reason I bought a core2duo with 4G of ram... Chris

Where is a good place to read about how to actually use this? I have the windows version, and I'm wondering if I can have the gui generate a script that would be portable... Thanks for any tips, this is a great tool. Chris
