D: but can you add this options on the future? i mean, can you add this option to "improve" smallx264 even if handbrake doesn't has this option? (next version or something like that), liked your smallx264 because you had the high10 profile. hope you can add it!!! Thanks for your reply.

TX264 has high10 support, it uses x264.

Hi Ozok

Im doing some tests with handbrake and smallx264 is invaluable for newbies as it shows the Syntax used.

i have a 1280x720 video with black bars (88px each), when resizing to 640 or 800 width and selecting autocrop and maintain aspect ratio it resizes to 640x352 and 800x448 when it should be 640x272 and 800x336, its not cropping the black bars.

Do you have anny suggestions? While googling about it i found the following :
HB has a good autocrop algorithm that runs during its analysis run (-t0 option)


The log shows the 88px bars but further down in the log it doesnt.

I was actually running some test encodes with my other HB GUI DVD2x264 and I realized auto-crop didn't work as I thought. Smallx264 and DVD2x264 basically have the same command line generating/file information extraction code, so they also share same problems. In DVD2x264, I solved this issue by using autocrop values determined by HB (88/88/0/0 in your case) and it seems to be working fine. I can do the same thing with Smallx264.

Does this have a linux version?

[ozok]

No, it doesn't.

[Ruriko]

Is there a way to set the priority when encoding?

[ozok]

No, HandBrakeCLI is run in the lowest priority though.

[Ruriko]

No, HandBrakeCLI is run in the lowest priority though.

Actually I kind of want it to be running in Highest priority

[BK-201]

I don't know if this has been asked, but it there a way manually crop videos?

[ozok]

I don't know if this has been asked, but it there a way manually crop videos?
No. I can add it though. I have made a few changes but had a chance to prepare a release.

[Zerondar]

really nice program
would be nice if we were able to queue more stuff while it's already encoding
so it would be possible to make 1 giant queue with 480p, 720p encodes
but that's just a minor luxury problem

as stated really nice program, hardly have any problems with it (encoding wise)


i really like how it auto creates folders for the encoded files (saves me alot of time sorting through stuff as i usually set up several hundreds of episodes to encode)

[ozok]

-Fixed: Settings weren't saved when some post-encode options were selected
-Renamed: Program to "THandBrake"
-Updated: HandBrakeCLI
-Updated: MediaInfo to 0.7.69

Edit:
@Zerondar do you mean like Tx264? I'll see what I can do about it.

[Zerondar]

not really
@ tx264 you can "add more" but it auto chooses the same settings as the first file you selected to be encoded

i meant an "add more" button where you can choose to encode using a different profile/bitrate

Reason being:
I mass encode anime series (480p/720p) setting up hundreds of episodes to be encoded
with smallx264 i have to wait for the 480p batch encode series to finish before i can start queueing 720p ones.
These usually finish encoding while i'm either at work or asleep (or asleep at work :P )


ah well even if such a feature is not added, it's still a fantastic piece of software :-)

[Ruriko]

I found a minor bug: When you select a subtitle track the video that you currently have selected becomes de-highlighted so I wish it not de-highlight cause I forget which video I was selecting especially if you have a long list of videos
