So trying to convert a DVD for viewing on my iPad but there are tons of settings that I'm clueless about, and no presets for iPad just iPhone/iPod touch etc
Can somebody fill me in which settings should I be using for best quality?
Is the volume "too low" scenario occurring when listening with earphones or when listening through the the ipad speakers?
I've not had any issues with volume when listening through my earphones. However, I have grown to not expect much from the external speaker. Depending on ipad placement and room/environment conditions, the volume can seem pretty low. It's not a result of any handbrake deficiency.
IMHO, Apple could make definite improvements in the speaker quality/capability.
The newest versions of Handbrake built from source contain a setting to increase sound. I set mine to +6dB and movie sound levels are much better. I'm not sure if there's a pre-release binary for Mac or not. I'm compiling HB under Linux.
Well to be honest I don't like using handbrake. I mean it is great because it is universal (Mac & PC) but it doesn't have much to offer. Also, when I was setting it up and decided to stop the installation after watching a review of it, it froze my computer and restarted "Windows Explorer". Which was annoying... -.-
Well so instead I use Any Video Converter which is epic. It looks like a cheapy PC program but is really useful. It converts any video format to any other (Mobile/iPod etc.) If you are wondering, here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtW6Wt311-4
I know you are just looking for settings but god that program is a hassle. With Any Video Converter it is preset so alot better.
