Troubleshooting</h3> + +<a name="A001001"></a> +<h4>1.1 Encoding seemed to work fine, but I don't get any sound</h4> +<p>I guess you are trying to read an AVI file with OS X +/ Quicktime. Try installing the latest DivX codec from +<a href="http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/">DivX.com</a>, +or use <a href="http://videolan.org/vlc/">VLC</a>.</p> + +<a name="A001002"></a> +<h4>1.2. Not every title of the DVD shows up in HandBrake</h4> +<p>There are 3 reasons why HandBrake might not show a title: it is a +menu, it has no audio track HandBrake can handle (only AC3 is supported) +or there was a problem when trying to decode data from it (e.g. a +decryption problem). There is no way to workaround this, these titles +don't show up just because you can't rip them. You might check HandBrake +logs in a terminal to know what's happening on your particular DVD.</p> + +<a name="A001003"></a> +<h4>1.3. Rip exits after a while with a AC3 error. What does that +mean?</h4> +<p>It means HandBrake had to deal with corrupted data. It usually +happens when your DVD drive is over-heating after a X-hours long rip. +Though it is handy to directly rip from the DVD, I recommend that you +copy it first to the hard drive whenever possible (for example with +OSEx, using the "DVD Folders" fmt) then you can open the folder with +HandBrake. You have to keep the DVD folder organization (multiple VOB +and IFO files), HandBrake won't open single VOB files.</p> + +<a name="A001004"></a> +<h4>1.4. Why does HandBrake get stucked at 100%?</h4> +<p>When ripping to an mp4 file, HandBrake (actually libmp4v2) optimizes +the file and makes it compliant at the end of the rip. This might take +some time with big files. Also, make sure you have enough space +available on your hard drive before you start (twice the asked size) or +you might end with an unreadable file.</p> + +<h3>2. Features</h3> + +<a name="A002001"></a> +<h4>2.1 I want to convert a movie so I can burn it on a VCD or a DVD-R. +Is HandBrake the right application to do this?</h4> +<p>No. HandBrake only outputs MPEG-4, no MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. If you are +using OS X, have a look at <a +href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18193"> +forty-two</a>, <a +href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15473"> +ffmpegX</a>, <a +href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20778"> +DVDRemaster</a> or <a +href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19238"> +DVD2oneX</a>. This will save you time and quality.</p> + +<a name="A002002"></a> +<h4>2.2 I want to to convert a movie so I can edit it in iMovie. Is +HandBrake the right application to do this?</h4> +<p>No. MPEG-4 isn't a good format for editing, you'd better find a way +to extract it as MJPEG or something, or edit the MPEG-2 directly.</p> + +<a name="A002003"></a> +<h4>2.3. I wish HandBrake could support subtitles, rip a 30 seconds +sample, [...]</h4> +<p>Check the <a href="http://handbrake.m0k.org/TODO">TODO</a> list to +see what's on the roadmap. If you wish to see a feature which isn't +already in it, mail me and, if I think I can do it someday, I'll add +it to the list.</p> + +<a name="A002004"></a> +<h4>2.4 Any plan to include 3ivx / DivX 5 encoding?</h4> +<p>No. 3ivx/DivX aren't free software and have no multi-platform +API.</p> + +<h3>3. Technical</h3> + +<a name="A003001"></a> +<h4>3.1 What's the difference between Ffmpeg and XviD?</h4> +<p>Both are MPEG-4 compliant encoders, so you may choose whichever you +want. However, I would recommend Ffmpeg as it is pretty faster on BeOS +and OS X.</p> + +<a name="A003002"></a> +<h4>3.2 What is 2-pass encoding?</h4> +<p>It performs a slower but better compression - basically it makes +sure you'll get a constant quality so you won't see blocks in fast +motion scenes. Though it's disabled by default, I would strongly +recommend to use it except if you really care about time.</p> + +<h3>4. Misc</h3> + +<a name="A004001"></a> +<h4>4.1. How do I donate for HandBrake?</h4> + +<p>I'm working on HandBrake for fun, therefore I haven't set up a +paypal account or anything (and I won't). Thanks anyway to people who +wanted to give me money ;p<br> +There are still two ways to make me happy:</p> +<ul> +<li>Send me a friendly email</li> +<li>You may send me a DVD (for example, a DVD HandBrake has problems +with so I can work it out). Sending a DVD through the world isn't really +handy though (the cheapest way is probably to order it online in a +french store with my address for shipping), so if it's a problem, you +can just fall back on the friendly mail ;)<br> +<br> +Here's the address:<br> +Eric Petit<br> +R�sidence ECP - H211<br> +2 avenue Sully Prudhomme<br> +92290 Chatenay Malabry<br> +France<br> +</li> +</ul> + +<a name="A004002"></a> +<h4>4.2 Where do this stupid name / icon come from?</h4> +<p>Don't ask.</p> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/doc/faq.txt b/doc/faq.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1e0ddec16 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/faq.txt @@ -0,0 +1,153 @@ +$Id: faq.txt,v 1.10 2004/03/01 19:09:38 titer Exp $ + +<h2>HandBrake FAQ</h2> + +<h4>1.
