Windows 10: Encoding a movie

Hello Bree,
This I owe you:
Two weeks ago downloaded "The sound of music" movie, found an Hebrew subtitle, it was in exact sync with the movie. Added the subtitle using "Handbrake". Once I tried to add subtitles with "DVDstyler" but did not like the fonts shape, in "Handbrake" they remain nicer - in my opinion. Playing the dvd on our tv, the picture was a little dark and sound was low.
So here I asked for help on this forum. Thanks to your guidance I learned a little about this ffmpeg filter. So after many trial & errors, (also typing in the command prompt box), I got 5 short movie samples, still could not decide which one, made from each a screenshot of the same scene, put them side by side in an image viewer - that made me easy to select.
So here, attached in a zip file are the screenshots, and the original. On each one I wrote the settings made in ffmpeg. In one of them the contrast was untouched, only brightness.
Finally made one dvd, checked if the settings were in, as you can see in one of the screenshots. The one I selected was # 5
Gladly I would like to have your opinion.
Many many thanks again.

Player with subtitles??

Encode the movie with the subtitles.

Many encoders allow you to turn on or select the language track from the DVD.

"ImToo DVD to 3GP converter" has such options. But I'm sure other encoders do as well.

 

N9 video playback problem

Hi all,



I have experienced same video playback problem with 720p movies I downloaded from youtube. I checked details of movies which can be played without any problem and I realized that most of the problem is caused by encoding settings of 720p movies. Most of
the time problematic movies are encoded with "Advanced Simple Profile @ Level 5" option. This option is especially used for very high quality, high definition video encoding for professional video players (bluray players etc.)



If you re-encode your video with third party application while "Advanced Simple Profile @ Level 4" is selected with same video bitrate and other settings you will be able to play your video without any problem.



Quality ? normally you will not lose quality of the movie



Hope this will help everyone.
