If so Handbrake can't handle it. [url=http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/WindowsGuiGuide]http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/WindowsGuiGuide[/url] First things first. Handbrake on the Windows Platform does NOT decrypt Commercial DVDs. Let me repeat this. It does NOT decrypt commercial DVDs. Third-party software is required for this part of the process. (e.g. AnyDVD, DVD43 or DVD Decryptor) (Note: Please note that these applications are not legal in many countries. You should consult the law in your own country before using these applications.

Now, how do I convert my video files which consist of .iso and video_ts to H.264 in such a way that I do not loose any audio or video quality so they are the same as my original DVD? What settings do I use. Thank you. - Wayne Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:00:46 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-872 No you can't copy the DVD menu since it's not video but "special software" that runs in your DVD player. :) - axel Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:29:23 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-871 So..when you rip DVDs using Handbrake..can you not get the DVD menu on the DVD if you copy it? The chapters all broke where they were supposed to but there is no DVD menu that I can go to to select which chapter I want to watch. - Jes Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:18:44 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-582 Hi Jeff, I think you should better use the Target Size option to rip your movies. This way you won't have too large video files. For a 2h movie 700MB should be ok. :) - axel Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:13:47 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-579 Axel, I followed your suggestions and having the constant quality = 100% ( in .93 version this disables the 2 pass conversion with Turbo first pass) and I got a 9gig file for a DVD9 ripped movie. Running it at 1280 kbps rate to see what I get, I heard some suggest 5000 kbps. Thanks Jeff - Jeff Thu, 02 Apr 2009 06:16:45 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-561 What Handbrake does is to take the subtitles which are stored as images in the DVD and "burn" them into the video. So there is no way to change their size. A solution would be to convert only the video and download subtitles for this DVD from the Internet. Somewhere you will find the .srt file. If you reproduce the video in your computer most video players will automatically find the external .srt file as long as you have it in the same folder and with the same name as your video file. If you still to hardcode the subtitle on the video wait a few days, I have a guide on this subject waiting to be published. ;) - axel Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:49:35 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-558 Hi axel : Your method is ok, the subtitle showed but its font size hasn't changed to smaller size then some subtitle words of 2 side(left and right hand sides)couldn't show. How to slove the above problem? Could change the subtitles font size setting? Thank you for your help!!! - kungkung Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:36:09 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-555 Don't check Forced Subtitles only. Just select the language you want. :) - axel Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:27:40 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-554 Use HandBrake0.9.3 Win Gui version and OS is win xp. Although i choice "Autoselect", "Forced Subtitles Only", "English","Chinese" etc, the output files all haven't subtitles. How to solve the above problem??? Thank your for your help!!! - kungkung Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:31:23 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-489 I think it depends on the firmware version you have. Unfortunately I don't own a PSP so I can't tell you what options to use. You can take a look at the [url=http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1127]handbrake forum[/url]. - axel Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:55:43 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-488 I am having troble coping my dvd's to sp using handbrake. I used DVD43 to bypass the ccs. I then encoded it with the defaults for psp, but when i transfered it said it was the wrong format. What handbake format options should i use for psp? - nikki Mon, 23 Feb 2009 17:16:21 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-478 Hi Carrmichael, this is from HandBrake FAQ: What does "No Title(s) found...." mean and how do I fix it? It means that one of the following are the case: a) You have not selected a valid input source. See the activity window (log) for further information. b) You are trying to rip a copy protected disc without using a ripper. - Use a ripper, There are plenty available. c) Either the disc protection scheme is too tough for your ripper of choice, or the disc is badly mastered. - The only option is to switch to a different ripper. - axel Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:05:43 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-477 I have tried a lot of my DVD's (both old and new) and they have all come up with the error message "No Title(s)found". These are all DVD's that I have purchased and I don't know why they will not open. What can I do? - Carrmichael Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:56:21 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-468 works really well!!!!!!!!!! i am glad i found this advice. :) ;) ;D >:( - Eagle 12 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:43:13 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-221 As far as I know handbrake cannot do that. In general upscaling a videos resolution is something difficult to be achieved. Only in movies it is really easy where a pc guy takes a bad image from a camera and increases its quality with a few clicks. To sum up if you increase the resolution you will just increase the size of every pixel on the video with a bad quality effect. - axel Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:43:58 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-215 i have a normal dvd9 and i want to upscale the video quality using handbrake ie i want to rip the dvd to a resolution bigger than the resolution of the source dvd9... so can handbrake help me in that.... ?? - Sas Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:00:33 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-197 Hey Jeff. To achieve better quality for PS3 select the PS3 Preset and then in the video settings tab select 2-Pass Encoding and Turbo first pPass. You can also set the Qonstant Quality to 100%. In the Audio tab you can select Dolby Surround from the Track 1 mix setting. In the Chapters tab select also to Create chapter markers. Most likely the encoding process will take more time to complete. Try those settings and drop me a line about the output quality and video size. Regards, axel - axel Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:43:58 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/111/26/#comment-196 I was wondering if you cold elaborate on a settings for PS3. I have a 40 inch 1080p and I want to use Handbrake to create a file (size doesnt matter) with the exact quality of the dvd, chapter bookmarks, and dobly or dts audio track for surround sound encoding that when moved to my PS3 I can play as if it was a dVD inserted into it. I tried TVersity and the quality sucked and I dont get good enough quality with the PS3 setting. Most DVDs are 16:9 but i do have some 4:3. Thanks in advance Jeff - jeff Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:05:34 +0100
