Converting with Handbrake

Hi all,

I apologise if this is in the wrong section/category I was unsure as to which it would come under.

With all my Plex media files I try to convert everything to MP4 web optimised but sometimes if I leave Handbrake on converting things over night it seems to of crashed, no error on screen just the application has quit.

I am using Handbrake 0.9.5 (x86_64) on CentOS 6.9

Any ideas and suggestions would be great, thank you.

Regards
Rob

Handbrake Guide in my signature, but I know nothing about CentOS.
You might want to try a newer version of Handbrake.
1.0.7 is the latest and seems to be more stable than previous versions.

Thank you for your reply, I believe it is the latest version that I have for CentOS.

I’ve checked the software manager and it appears to be the latest version on there.

If anyone can help that would be great

Here is my latest Handbrake log before it crashed

Handbrake doesn’t do BluRay ISO files.

MakeMKV - to get an MKV file with the original video and audio streams - then Handbrake.

Also, you’ll catch a lot more Handbrake Flies with Honey:
https://forum.handbrake.fr/
all kinds of flies buzzing around over there - and a whole bunch of them know everything there is to know about Handbrake…

I can help you get started on your Handbrake career…
I can’t tell you why Handbrake isn’t working on some OS I’ve never heard of before that’s so far out in the Galaxy you have to use an ancient version of Handbrake.

I’m not trying to do any kind of ISO files?

I’m just trying to convert the MKV to MP4 playback to AAC/H264

I’ll take a look into it but if it doesn’t work I’ll look into backing up everything and then switching the OS as the Handbrake website shows a version for Ubuntu but not CentOS, I believe the CentOS version I have was built using a release of their source code but I cannot confirm 100%

Well… obviously I don’t know much, about much, but…:

libdvdnav:DVDOpenFileUDF:UDFFindFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed
libdvdnav:DVDOpenFileUDF:UDFFindFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
libdvdnav: vm: failed to read VIDEO_TS.IFO

That’s about all I had to go on…

Those logs on the Handbrake Forum will strike more pay dirt than they will here on the Plex Forum.
