    The Handbrake update has ruined Handbrake. Files in wide screen now have thumbnails in the 4:3 wide screen and everything compresses with Interlace in it. Is there a way to stop the problem? Thanks.

    The software doesn't work unless the update is downloaded. Without the update the software is locked.

  5. I think most people here don't use handbrake:
    Filters > Web Optimized

    We set it manually.

    Am I right ?

    1000% i agreed with you arthur, what a mess handbrake is now,

    in my case i have issue with two audios, or changing size of video.

    but i can use old one version, just i unistall it software and reinstall old one.

    I just tried the latest stable release (0.10.0) and had no problems. A progressive file was encoded progressive (x264). A hard telecined DVD MPG file was detelecined, decimated to 23.976 fps, and encoded progressive. I was also able to encode that MPG file interlaced at 29.97 fps by not enabling the detelecine option, keeping the source frame rate, and adding tff to the extra options box.

    Are you talking about the latest nightly build?

    Maybe he's re-encoding a PAL DVD. ie Progressive encoded as interlaced. There should be a switch to get around that but x264 uses MBAFF anyway so the only problem would be that it would be deinterlaced on playback (which would happen with the original source anyway.) Handbrake would have no way of knowing what's truly interlaced anyway other than the flag in the headers (which are meaningless in DVD land.) Unless there really is a problem. They could try using decomb at settings that would leave it doing nothing.

    Maybe that applies to beta versions (I don't know) but I still have version 0.9.9.5530 and it's working. I've unchecked the option to check for updates, but that's mainly because the version I have is (I'm pretty sure) the last stable release that'll run on XP.

    Why is the new version of Handbrake compressing my 16:9 wide screen MKV files to 4:3 wide screen. Sometimes this causes interlace. Now there's another update listed and I wonder if that is okay to download.

    Disable auto crop and set the size manually.

    Or try a better converter like ffmpeg.

    Or another handbrake frontend like vidcoder.
