The result is letterboxed, which is annoying, but still very watchable, and the iPhone lets me zoom in on the movie too:

It’s just too big (though it’s splendid for watching on my MacBook Pro screen, I must say)Īs an experiment, I also reencoded the movie using Handbrake in “iPod Low-Rez”, which made it only 320×128 in size (e.g., tiny). The iPhone screen itself, according to Apple, is 320×240, but the Handbrake conversion is at 853×360. Way too big - and at too high a resolution, frankly - for the Apple iPhone, which has a far smaller resolution screen. The problem? That file, the conversion of a 2:32 movie, is a whopping 1.73GB in size.

The result is splendid, as you can see in the screenshot of the movie playing on my MacBook in VLC Player:Ĭlick to see the frame capture at full size Now it’s going to take a few hours on my MacBook Pro, starting with a progress bar:Īnother ten minutes and we were “muxing” (though I have no idea what that means, truth be told):įour minutes shy of two hours, Handbrake told me that it was done:

While we’re talking about it, notice it can also create movies for your Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) if you’ve got one of those, and can convert movies into an optimal format for the AppleTV unit.Īnyway, I’ll choose “iPhone” and press “Start” to continue.
There are lots of options, but the three to be aware of are “iPhone”, “iPod High-Rez” and “iPod Low-Rez”. Notice on the right side the slide-out drawer of presets. Ignore them all and click on “Source” in the top left, then select the DVD disk itself. Leave the movie in the computer, however, and start up the program and you’ll see there are a zillion complicated options you can tweak: It’ll automatically start up in DVD Player: watch a few seconds and then quit the program. Step one is to put the target DVD movie into your Mac. Let me show you the steps involved with converting the delightful film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, if you’re in the UK) with Handbrake. The bad news? It tends to make pretty darn big files by default, which might not be a problem if you have a shiny new 80GB iPod Video, but it definitely becomes an issue if, like me, you have a 4GB iPhone and each movie is 1-2GB in size. The good news is that there’s a terrific free application for the Mac called Handbrake that makes the conversion of commercial DVD movies for either your iPhone or iPod a breeze. There might be some other GUI that has it working correctly for QSVĪnd again, we are assuming it's the same problem.If you want to upload a small sample someone can test it for you.There’s good news and bad news. That suggests it must be an implementation issue. The playback info says it's using Intel - so QSV does work. So I disabled the Nvidia gpu in the control panel and re-ran the test forcing it to use intel - and some other types of glitches occurred (frame disorder, jerky playback, some field issues).īUT - in potplayer with HW on ( with nvidia card disabled again) the playback is smooth no glitches. I tried xmedia recode with DXVA as sneaker suggested, and it worked (no block/pixellation artifacts as with libavcodec), but I didn't know if it was using intel or nvidia for DXVA it didn't give you an option or GPU id control. Not sure if that means it's using SW to decode, QSV to encode, or just that it's not implemented correctly, or if QSV is affected also. In handbrake with QSV, the same blocking /pixellation issues. Some observations (at least with a different vc-1 interlaced source that exhibits similar problems using libavcodec to decode)
But at least it's free (well not really free because Windows isn't free, but you get the point.) But it's a bit of hassle configuring things.
