Handbrake

I just encoded a movie and it went into itunes fine, but when i tried to put it on my iphone it said Cannot be copied to the iphone, because it cannot be played on the iphone... anyone know a reason for this? If it helps i used the following settings

Did you use the iPhone preset?

Looks like you just encoded using the 'Normal' setting in Handbrake.

Use the 'convert to iPhone' under advanced in the menu bar of iTunes. It will create a copy of the movie that can play on the iPhone. I have an ATV so I have 2 copies of most movies one for the iPhone and one for the ATV which is better quality.

I find my iPod touch versions very watchable on my 32" HDTV, saves me having 2 copies. Not perfect mind.

Well after spending hours encoding I want the best quality I can get. I dont have many movies for my phone so its not as if there are loads of duplicates. However it is a bit of a pain.

Fair enough. I don't really have any movies at all... Just 4 seasons of House so far. It only takes half an hour to encode, but I want to be able to put which ever I want on my touch.

I have nearly 200 movies and 100s of TV shows either bought from iTunes or ripped from disks. To rip a movie at 2500kbps takes around 4 hours + for me on my PMG5.

I'm saving for a MacPro after iBlues endorsement and proof of around 200fps instead of 20fps using handbrake.

I wish I had the Hard Drive space for that many Films/TV Shows.

+1.

I was stunned to find out that videos I had encoded for my iPod touch didn't look half bad on my 42" Sony Grand Wega. They're not spectacular, but for things like silly shows & movies that I normally just put on in the background while I'm cleaning, working out or doing other stuff, it's great.

Still wish we coul dhide certian titles from tv though. It looks bad to have a library like:

Seinfeld
Seinfeld [iPod]
Three's Company
Three's Company [iPod]


on my tv.
