    Ripping DVDs with Handbrake and Homebrew

    I tried using MTR to rip some old copy-protected DVDs but my 2019 MBP wouldn't read the discs due to copy protection. [I used the second method on the following link: here.] It's completely free, and I was able to rip my old Shogun DVDs with no issues in Handbrake after that. Just (hopefully)...

    Once Perfect Handbrake Videos now Pixelated

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had this same issue... three years ago, I used Handbrake to copy all my DVDs to my MacBook Pro (and many onto an external NAS). All of these videos played without any problems. It seems one of the macOS updates caused an issue, because now ALL the...

    T2 chip-accelerated HEVC conversion with Handbrake

    I read here that I just need to specify -c:v hevc_videotoolbox for an ffmpeg GUI like Handbrake to convert to 8bit H265 using the T2 chip for hardware encoding.

    Handbrake... Any Way to the iMac’s Full Power?

    Whenever I use the latest version of Handbrake on my 2017 27-inch 5K iMac, I feel like it’s not using all the power at its disposal. Projects don’t seem to be any quicker at transcoding than my previous 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. Is there something hidden in the settings, or any are there any...

    Encoding my own 4K content with Handbrake and iFlicks 2?

    I've happily used Handbrake to encode in Apple TV format, and iFlicks 2 to encode the metadata into my iTunes content for years. With the ATV4K I have tried modifying the Handbrake preset for the ATV3 to use h.265 and setting the max video size to 3480x2160 which (eventually!) gives a file that...

    Batch convert MKV to MP4 with subtitles

    I know Handbrake can convert MKV files with subtitles to MP4/M4V. You select the MKV file, go to subtitles, and choose the english version. Pretty simple. But how would I do this with multiple MKV files, without having to keep an eye when one is done, so that I can load the next file. I...

    Issues with Handbrake fps conversion

    Hi folks, I'm having an issue with Handbrake just now to convert files (.avi, .mkv, .mpeg, .wmv to mp4). A few days back with .mkv files I was having up to ~550fps conversion rate, but now for the same file type I seem to be also getting ~72fps. I've updated the program to see if this is the...

    So I needed to back-up some older DVD's that I have, used to code to bypass certain restrictions etc. for Handbrake. When I open it, it has the familiar multiple titles that other files have.

    Hardbrake crashing OSX while rendering

    Im using Handbrake to convert a .MOV file to x264. Every time, it crashed my mac pro, & when I read the logs, it seems like it it could be the video card since it shows Nvidia as the cause for the kernel panic.

    Handbrake Preference for Stereo AAC Audio: 5.1 Mixdown or 2.0 Track?

    Hey, all! I've been using Handbrake and AppleTV to enjoy my library for years, and I don't know what I'd do without it--especially now that we can use Plex! I recently came across something that may prompt me to change my encoding settings, though, and was wondering if others here had any...
