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> |
