Sorry to add to this older post, but it is very relevant to what I'm trying to do. I have installed the latest handbrake-gtk and handbrake-cli from <a href="http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php">http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php</a>. I have used <a href="http://mythrename.pl">mythrename.pl</a> on my ubuntu 9.10 mythtv recordings and want to use handbrake to encode to h.264.<div>
<br></div><div>According to earlier posts in this thread, it should be straightforward with both the gui and cli versions of handbrake. However, I have not been able to generate anything that plays back at the correct speed. It appears the playback is at least 3x as fast as it should be and maybe more. This is with both video and audio.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have tried all iphone related presets as well as a custom preset from my research. Every generated file plays back much faster. Any hints on how to correct this? Thank you.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I spent several evenings trying to figure out what is wrong with my mythexport. It just wouldn't import into itunes... They would jsut show up with an error in iTunes. So I installed handbrake-cli and then hacked at the mythexport daemon. All I really did was install handbrake-cli then change the line that executes ffmpeg and change it to work with handbrake.<br>
<br><br><br>This is what I did on my UBUNTU system (if you are using something else then you can find a different way to install handbrake-cli):<br><br><br>1) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots<br>
<br>
2) sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli <br>
<br>
3) then 'sudo vi /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon'<br>
<br><br><br>
foreach (@args){<br>
if($_ =~ m/\/dev\/null/){<div><br>
$_ = "nice -n19 ffmpeg -i $filename $_";<br>
}<br></div>
else{<br>
<b> $_ = "nice -n19 HandBrakeCLI -i $filename -o '$newfilename' --preset=\"iPhone & iPod Touch\" 2>&1";<br>
</b># ADD THE LINE ABOVE AND ADD A HASH TO THE ONE BELOW <br>
# $_ = "nice -n19 ffmpeg -i $filename $_ '$newfilename' 2>&1";<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
then restart mythexport 'sudo /etc/init.d/mythexport restart'<div><div></div><div><br><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br> </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex">
<div><div>First off, this is an awesome idea and thanks for posting it. However I'm seeing some really weird behavior. I've modified my mythexport-daemon to look exactly as yours and bounced the daemon. I then kicked off a mythexport job. When I fire up top and tail the mythexport log, I see ffmpeg running! So, I killed the PID of ffmpeg, planning on re-bouncing the daemon or restarting the whole mythbox, and now HandbrakeCLI has kicked in! It seems like it's a 2 pass process, and the first pass still uses ffmpeg? <br>
<br>Here's one thing I noticed: In the mythexport.log while ffmpeg is running, it says this:<br><br>matt@magic:/var/log/mythtv$ tail -f mythexport.log<br>Output #0, mp4, to '/dev/null':<br><br>And I noticed that when I modified the binary, I did not modify the following:<div class="im">
<br>
<br> foreach (@args){<br>
if($_ =~ m/\/dev\/null/){<br><br>
$_ = "nice -n19 ffmpeg -i $filename $_";<br>
}<br><br></div>So, it seems that it passes to /dev/null first by design? Why is this? Do I want to replace that dev/null section with handbrake as well, or is there a better way to do this in the mythexport settings? <br>
<br>(Oh, and my export is still going, so I can't tell if the resulting file is good or not yet :-) )<br></div></div></blockquote></div>
