@meridian, @reddevil, Something interesting, Handbrake and Win Update don't play well together. They will cause each other to fail, corrupt workspace, etc. One at a time and all is well.

@Raada, thanks for the info on encoding settings and the heads-up. I have not used HB much since the cpu is needed elsewhere And also, only using it to encode one at a time. Will try to make some time to put 2 or more in a queue and get some info. I thought Joybell was a female...

Hi, dears.

My hobby is collecting tv series / movies.
Last year, I started encoding myself the releases that were omitted by RMZ (x265) bots. I use XMedia Recode 3.4.3.6 with HEVC encoder set with CRF = 25 and resize to 720p, if needed Nothing more!
The file sizes are close more than 90 percent to RMZ ones (I tried comparison for one and same releases several times).
I repeat that this exercise is for my hobby / collecting needs. For watching purposes, I download 1080p Web (tv series) or BluRay (movies) releases

@reddevil, No prob. I have no idea about Joy's gender. I tend to use the classic (he, his, etc.) for unknown gender identification.

@all, I need to pass on some info about HB 1.3.1 (and later). It REQUIRES a paging file. I had noticed a hard drive thumping (remember 'click of death'?) and searched until I found the page file was on that drive and I turned it off. After the next reboot, an odd thing, HB kept disappearing- window gone, no error message no 'notification'. HB's log file wasn't helpful. Google searching wasn't helpful. A brief look at the Event Viewer didn't help. When all else failed, I retraced my steps. A more careful look in the Event Viewer found (among other things) a reference to a page file error. It seems the lack of a page file was causing HB to commit an 'unhandled exception'. I replaced the page file and all is well.
I am currently running HB nightly build 4-09-2020 and it seems to be working well- it has been running continuously over 24 hours without problems.

@bld71, welcome to the 'club'. We are just honing our skills and at times supplying a missed episode. My upload speed is atrocious (~32KB/s) but I try.

Here's an example of my encode - Bloom s02e06.
The source "Bloom S02E06 720p WEBRip x264-OATH" was downloaded from another site.
The pass for the archive is qwerty321

@bld71, looks good. I use mediainfo for quick statistical analysis and your vid falls between
When.Calls.the.Heart.S07E07.720p.HDTV.HEVC.x265-rmteam.mkv
and When.Calls.the.Heart.S07E07.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta.mkv
which isn't a bad place to be. Any further refinement would be due to desire for smaller file or detail during extremely dark and/or fast action scenes which do require a higher bit rate.
One suggestion, once modified, your handle belongs where the -OATH is and it, as the source, belongs in the metadata or as a tag (the vid already has 4 tags but none identify the source encoder, that I can see). I am not familiar with your encoder but you can use MKVToolNix GUI (free) to do this on the Output page, file name. This tool is also good for syncing audio and video or adding/removing/changing audio tracks or subtitles without any changes to the video track.
Again, you vid looks fine.

@Raada Thanks for the attention and comments!
I don't do any analysis of the media content (dark/light and fast/slow scenes). I know there're lot of encoder tweaks, but don't have time to play with.
Just choose set CRF = 25 and press start. Check the screen

Btw, I don't like newer builds of XMedia Recode, so I'm stuck with version 3.4.3.6 - very user friendly interface and suitable for batch jobs!

@reddevil, Thanks for the info 'I also found that with the same settings in the latest HB 1.3.1, resulted in a much bigger file size and higher bitrate.'
I'm not crazy... I'm not crazy...

@reddevil @meridian, did either d/l "Willie Nelson American Outlaw 2020 540p WEB A&E"? If so, did you notice anything wrong with the audio track?

Just downloaded it for you, Raada and seems fine here. Mostly, I got it from the same place u got but used dropapk (slow but does the job) via Jdownloader. Maybe scn-rls admin is right about debrid etc.. The CRC32 hash of that mp4 is: 40441651, just verfiy it with yours and let me know if it's same or not.

Scn-Rls admin don't even know what hes talking about if the service is any good they want corrupt your files, That's not even what happened . What happen was one of the most used ones RG ban all there accounts . Its in his best interest you don't use a 3rd party service is all .

Meanwhile he uses bots to get them from free t@rrents and uploads them and makes living off people buying RG and using dropapk . So he does but is telling his downloaders not to do it.

If you want to make dropapk faster you need to sign up and get it from webpage and use XDM download manger.Some sites like that one don't work good with JD2 .

@reddevil, Thank you for checking. The CRC32 matches. I also used Dropa. So I gave it a good listen. Originally, I had spot checked the d/l like I always do, checking for sync, language, subs etc. At 1:10:21 I heard a dropout like maybe a word had been censored but then I heard another and another. But this time, while I still hear that one, the others are gone. My only thought is, maybe, this happened while I had the page file turned off and I was overtaxing my system.
Sir, I thank you for your time. Now I can put this recording into my collection.

@meridian, @reddevil, Have you noticed Rarbg's x265 encodes? They are too large and high bit rate for my needs, and I know one shouldn't use a highly compressed (HEVC) as a source, but I would like some of the titles. So I grabbed 'Dune.[1984].EXTENDED.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG.mp4' and plopped it into HB, set audio to AutoPassthru and added to queue. The result is the audio track only- no video. I then tried changing the video to x264 (which fixes some forms of copy protection) but still no video. I tried MKVToolnix hoping to squeeze the size but no, the output is actually 0.1% larger. I turned on Compression and tried again and got a 0.1% reduction using auto and 0.2% reduction using zlib. Ario had mentioned he had to adjust his Screenshot routines to handle these files because they don't follow HEVC standards exactly.
Anyway, I was wondering if youall had tried any of these?

@Raada, i had Spawn.1997.DC.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG and ran some quick and partial tests, for a while using Handbrake 1.3.1. The (partial about a minute) re-encoded videos played fine. I tried audio passthrough as well as aac combined with h.265, h.265 10bit and h.264. All played fine, so it must be some setting on your system. Just FYI i have turned 'off' the option to use Nvidia nvenc encoders, coz it doesn't work anyway and also a lot of online forums suggested not to use them, since they dropped quality (vs. cpu x265) with bitrates lower than 4000 or so.

I wasn't aware of MKVToolnix re-encoding and compression capabilities since it's a multiplexer. Is it some new version or something?

Anyways, let me know how it goes, also if you have changed some system wide settings or some update, maybe it could be the cause. Maybe if possible try a different encoder, say... XMedia Recode like bld71.

@reddevil Thanks for the reply. I tried turning off the Nvidia encoder and noise reduction and interlace detection but none helped. It must be some system setting but no clue yet. I'll keep digging and try the other encoder.

@reddevil, I did not find the magic setting but I did install Xmedia Recode and it solved my problem. It is completely different and will take weeks to master, but I have a decent 1030KB/s 720p 820MB vid from My.Best.Friend's.Wedding.[1997].1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG. It took about 70 min!
Off topic, the Sony/Tristar intro is HORRIBLE, grainy, pixilated, yuk. I would never want MY product identified with THAT. I managed to find the noise reduction and cleaned it up a bit. The actual movie was fine.

@Raada, I have another suggestion, try the Portable version of Handbrake (it's available on the main site itself). Also try to keep the 10bit video as is, instead of dropping it to 8bit i.e., while transcoding.

70min is impressive, what's your PC specs?

I agree with the grainy part, they are just lazy. Also, rarbg x265 encodes could be the problem, maybe source or thier settings. Let's see how they fare up on newer movies.

Raada

@reddevil, I can consider keeping the 10bit although I share these with friends whose computers barely do 8bit. If this speed is for real and I don't find reefs in the meantime, I might do it both ways.
I will try the portable version. I used to get those versions whenever I could but my AV doesn't like them, so I have to stop and do some checking. Right now this has my interest, so I'll play with this toy for a few days. ;D
