Thema: HandBrake / EasyBrake ....

[SiLæncer]

Genau ein Jahr nach Erscheinen der Version 0.9.3 ist nun die Version 0.9.4 von HandBrake erschienen. HandBrake ist ein Open Source-Programm für Linux, Windows und Mac OS X um DVDs zu rippen und um Filme umzuwandeln.



Die Bedienung ist wirklich kinderleicht. DVD rein, Ziel angeben, MKV oder MP4 und ab dafür. Klar, Experten finden logischerweise auch massig Einstellungsmöglichkeiten um an die perfekte DVD zu kommen. Ruhig mal ausprobieren. Man braucht meiner unbedeutenden Meinung nach definitiv kein Geld für irgendwelches DVD-Rip-Gedöns auszugeben. Gehört für mich in meine “Must Have”-Kiste.

Habe heute auf die neue Version upgedatet. Handbrake ist seit einiger Zeit mein Lieblings - Encoder. Kann ich nur empfehlen

Debs für die aktuelle ubuntu version 9.10 sind auf der Handbrake website im downlad bereich verlinkt. Für ältere ubuntu versionen gibts binaries hier: https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa

Ich hab mir es aus den sourcen selbst gebaut (hab hier noch ubuntu intrepid im einsatz) Falls es jemand benötigt, PM an mich

Hier gibts eine einfache Einleitung in die Grundfunktionen von HandBrake und dessen Verwendung:
http://www.macworld.com/article/142301/2009/08/beyond_handbrake_defaults.html

Gilt natürlich nicht nur für MAC (Handbrake ist Plattformübergreifend für Win, Mac und Linux verfügbar) und erklärt auch erweiterte Tweaking-Optionen.

Das Container-Format AVI entspricht längst nicht mehr dem aktuellen Stand im Bereich digitaler Videos. Dieser Ansicht sind zumindest die Entwickler des Open Source-DVD-Rippers Handbrake.

"AVI ist ein sprödes Biest. Es ist obsolet", so die Entwickler laut einem Bericht des US-Magazins 'PC Authoroty'. Deshalb wurde die Unterstützung der Umwandlung von DVDs in AVI-Files, in denen DivX- oder XviD-Videos enthalten sind, auch in der Version 0.9.4 ihrer Software gestrichen.

Sie beklagen, dass verschiedene moderne Features eines Container-Formats von AVI schlicht nicht umgesetzt werden. Dazu gehören unter anderem Kapitel, der Support von Videos mit variablen Frame-Raten und einiges mehr. Besserung sei kaum zu erwarten, da die Weiterentwicklung seit Jahren weitgehend brach liege.

Handbrake unterstützt deshalb jetzt nur noch die Konvertierung von DVDs in MKV- und MP4-Videos. In beide Container können Videos im H.264-Format verpackt werden. Die Entwickler gehen davon aus, dass sich dieser Codec ohnehin durchsetzen wird, da er deutlich bessere Ergebnisse bringt als DivX oder XviD.

The conversion has been never easy. Several switches, unknown words, incompatible or bad results and wasted time. EasyBrake will not change the world, but might do it easier. We are at the beginning of the development, therefore be tolerant if you find a bug.

Features of EasyBrake 0.9:

- Powered by HandBrake engine:
EasyBrake uses the great engine of HandBrake (an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder) which is well known and popular.

- Automatic video control:
Note: this feature is only available in the Custom Profile. EasyBrake determines the video bitrate (based on the resolution) and other parameters.

- Automatic audio control:
Note: this feature is only available in the Custom Profile. EasyBrake prefers the AC3 codec (if it exists in the source this will be the used codec). Otherwise it's looking for AAC or MP3 tracks. If none of them exist: try to encoding the audio track to AC3.

- Built-in profiles:
The default profile is the Custom Profile. In this you can change everything what you want. But you can change it to the following: Normal, High (better quality), iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone (all series), iPad, Android Mid, Android High (better quality), Apple TV (1-2-3).

- Automatic subtitle control:
EasyBrake defines your language and set the default subtitle for this.

- Sample creation:
What will be the result? Just click on the S button to make a one-minute sample. Simple?

Changes in EasyBrake 0.9.9.5:

- New HandBrake CLI v5020
- New MediaInfo DLL v0.7.60+ dev.
- Add type options (Film or animations - more precisely tune the quality)
- The maximum supported video bitrate is 300000 Kbps
- Massive code optimizations
- Arabic translation added
- Chinese translation added
- Add 2048p support
- Less memory usage
- Removed Time panel, just double click on an item in the FileList
- 30 fps frame rate error
- Opendialog filters error
- MP4 container format error
- Graphical glitches under Windows XP
- Inicialize ResizeBox (due to the language)

Update: A patch release for the WinGui has been uploaded that fixes a few of the more annoying issues caused by the GUI re-write. If your not having problems, there isn't any need to upgrade, but if you've seen issues, try the new build. The core engine is still 0.9.9
