Also, I CAN'T BELIEVE I"VE BEEN USING IT WRONG ALL THESE YEARS AND ADDING A STEP W/ HANDBRAKE. OMG I guess the question I'll have to answer is it worth it to keep a full disk backup going forward for archival purposes, or just the resulting MKV file. THANK YOU Normally i only keep the .mkv files and not the whole bluray backup. I would recomend changing the minimal title length to 0 that can be found in view, preferences and then under video. If you want the extras i would do it, you never know how long the extras are so its like a fail safe. might get some useless stuff like a logo or advert. but those can be easily deleted.

jcouch93 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Been searching through the thread but I can't find an update on the support for nVidia HW transcoding? Is it still a no-go? Quote Link to comment

cbr600ds2 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have my handbrake write to an unassigned device drive and it created a temp folder (no problems) but now its done doing what it does and it didn't delete the temp folder and I can't delete it from Windows explorer. I tried looking through krusader but can't seem to find it through there. Any idea where it is to delete it (my OCD is killing me) Quote Link to comment

strahd_zarovich Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I am having some issues with .m2ts files. I have the movie parts pulled out, but when I try to load them into handbrake it is like everything just freezes. It stays at scanning for minutes and never moves. Is there something that should be done before bringing it into handbrake? I looked in this thread and only see people scanning the entire disk. I just have the movie file. Quote Link to comment

Hey did you rip the disk or is it a download? Also what film? What happens if you add only the main film .m2ts file into handbrake does it freeze then? Quote Link to comment
cbr600ds2 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 am I getting these temp files because it updates Handbrake when the system is running? I thought it was because UD was being updated but its not that. Wonder if there's a way to not have the system update while a conversion is going on. 1 Quote Link to comment

The Big Lebowski is the movie. Yes, once I add the .m2ts to Handbrake it freezes. Also, added it to the Watch folder and it doesn't seem to see it. The movie plays fine through Plex. I just want to shrink it down. Quote Link to comment

Before I start a big conversion I turn Auto Update off. I typically do 4 to 5 movies at a time. Quote Link to comment

C_James Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 right i cant see anything about a film in the log you sent. check the failed_conversions in the handbrake app data folder. 50 minutes ago, strahd_zarovich said: This is the log. it see's the movie in the Watch Folder, but does nothing after that.

Danny Goh Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi, I can't show a unicode on my browser or handbrake web interface. Can anyone tell me which is the Chinese language? Eg. In between this and this language or from top 25 line is Chinese. Also same as subtitle. Quote Link to comment

For HandBrake to display these kind of characters, you need to edit the container's settings and add a new "Variable" named "ENABLE_CJK_FONT" with a value of "1". Quote Link to comment

flinte Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Can anyone tell me how to make this container respect the max resolution settings in my preset? I want source file larger than 1080P (such as 4k) to be reduced down to 1080P but anything smaller will remain original size. Edited November 27, 2020 by flinte Quote Link to comment
flinte Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think changing Anamorphic to Loose has resolved it. Quote Link to comment
ibbanez Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hey guys, quick question about the auto encode with watch folder. How do you control the audio tracks? When I save my preset, it never changes the audio. usually I convert to Opus for everything, weather it be 2.0, 5.1 or 7.1 surround. How can you have it default to that behavior for the watch folder? Sorry if this is a simple question, I've never used Handbrake before, and always used Staxrip on my Windows machine, but wanted to start using my server to do this, since I was doing a lot of 4k h265 re-encodes. Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment
ibbanez Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 nvm, I think I found the behavior... Its under the track selection tab, correct? Check the boxes of the codecs that I want to pass through, and then choose the fallback codec that I want the others to use when its not a pass through codec? Am I understand this behavior correctly? thanks. Quote Link to comment
M1llenia Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Is anyone else having a problem with Intel QSV? I recently began to encode 4K MKV files to MP4s, and the first time I ever tried it, I would get past the scanning phase, then Handbrake completely stops, saying there is an error. In the activity log, I have a line that says "Failure to initialize Quick Sync Video (Intel SDK)". Here's my specs: OS: unRAID 6.8.3 CPU: Intel i7-3770 RAM: 16 GB DDR3 No GPU (other than some cheap GPU for console output) I know that the 3770 only supports H.264 encoding, but AFAIK H.264 still supports 4K output. I can still encode 1080p, so that is why I bring this up. Is there some compatibility issue with my CPU and doing 4K encoding? Quote Link to comment
Hoopster Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 4 minutes ago, M1llenia said: CPU: Intel i7-3770 That's your problem. Yes, the CPU has QSV, but it is NOT capable of dealing with many formats/codecs, especially 4K, as it is an Ivy Bridge generation CPU. You really need to have a Skylake generation or later CPU before QSV can handle 4K/HEVC. Quote Link to comment
