- Are you saying HandBrake hardcodes the subs? When I encode for my AppleTV they are not hardcoded. I'll try with my playbook on a file I have already done. I just got it back from RIM and the restore is almost done.

Im sure its great, but it wont transfer regular DVD's right. Tried a selection of DVD's that I own with no luck. Also tried iTunes movies. Am I missing something?

Also you can use virtualization, I use VMware, I find its great except for things with high cpu usage like encoding video, just not worth the performance hit. Its splits your computer in two so it can run the two OS's side by side. Well sort of. You probably get the idea now.01-13-12 06:24 PMLike 0

Ask away, I have all night.gemma likes this.01-13-12 06:27 PMLike 1 - OK here they are, one is at a bit rate of 1500 for lower quality stuff like dvd and so on and the other is at a bit rate of 5000 for HD. They are both set for PlayBook full screen use:
Here is a link to a sample at 1500: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32425604/SAMPLE1500.m4v
Here is a link to a sample at 5000: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32425604/SAMPLE.m4v
When using these in Handbrake click picture settings, then click keep aspect ratio, then bring the Width of the movie to it's highest or 1024, whatever comes first. This will ensure you get the full screen video you want on your PlayBook.01-13-12 09:27 PMLike 0 -

- I had no problem importing the presets. I simply (i) downloaded the zip file; (ii) extracted it to my desktop using WinZip; (iii) opened Handbrake; (iv) select "Presets" from the top menu row of commands within Handbrake; (v) then selected "Import"; (vi) then browsed to where the zip files were extractedl (vii) selected the presets (one at a time); (viii) pressed "ok"; and Handbrake imported it.
On the right hand side of Handbrake, where all of the different Presets are listed, you will see the two imported presets listed.
I'm just converting a movie now with it.Chaddface likes this.01-14-12 08:24 PMLike 1 - Well, on a Mac you need the VLC media player installed for HandBrake to be able to rip the DVD, maybe so on Windoze as well? Worth a try. iTunes movies you purchased? they won't play until the DRM is removed from the video file. Also, PlayBook won't play ac3 audio yet so thats something to remember.

- A few of points from my own trial and error using Handbrake for OS 2.0.0.6149:
- keeping files in the MKV container (if they are already in it) yields greater success than convertaing to M4V/MP4. I had plenty of files that wouldn't play on the PB after conversion and I thought, why not try keeping them in MKV now that OS 2.0 supports it? Hey presto many now work.
- Instead of two audio tracks (stereo and 5.1) I just go with one Dolby Pro Logic II track, which works on the PB and is decent if using HDMI to your home theatre.
- I have a NAS (Netgear Stora) that I can dowload from using the PB browser (flash). The downloads from this are very fast and much faster than either WiFi or USB file transfer... go figure.
- After downloading if I try to launch the video file from the browser I will often see a "can't find default application error", I think this may be because it isn't aware of the MKV extension support. If I go the Video player they launch from there fine but I can't seek through the larger files, I get "An error has occurred. Please try again".
Anyway, just some of my experiences. Not perfect but I can get almost anything to play now. I'm hoping the official OS 2.0 release cleans up some of the bugs!Last edited by tofo17; 01-15-12 at 04:17 AM.
