Handbrake converter app has a "Folder (batch scan)" feature
to convert all files/clips in a specific folder
to a selected resolution, bit rate, video codec and audio codec type.
Where are you finding these HEVC h.265 videos ?
I remember a few years back when h.265 was supposed to be the next big thing,
but have not seen one yet.
The only time I see video-freeze while audio continues, is when I am speeding through playback of recorded tv on a slower laptop, using the "faster" button, which maxes out at 31.25x currently. Of course, speeding up playback increases the workload on the cpu, and the higher the multiple c...
All 3 laptops are running vlc 3.0.20, and all 3 experience the same Hangs when indexing is attempted with this specific "Hangs" file which I uploaded. The laptop which created the 10 GByte file which is described in the intro post which I have uploaded ("Hangs"), is "...an o...
I am finding that there is some Message window output on a 3rd laptop that I have tried. Does not work on an older Windows 11 (upgraded from Windows 10), does not work on the Windows 7 64 laptop, but does work on the newest laptop which is running Windows 11, with the newest bios. Lots of entries ab...
Again, how do you know that the cause of this malfunction is in the 1st 200 MBytes ? Do you already know what the bug is ? I have found a better application to truncate the file to 200 MBytes, called trunc. The performance of the resulting portion of the file (2 minutes, 20 seconds) when indexing is...
I tried the method you described and nothing appeared in the Messages window and maybe 4/5 of the way to the end, it hung for an hour, until I terminated it, with the Windows Task Manager indicating it was consuming approximately 25% of the i5-8250U quad processors, with 2 sub-tasks, 1st being the <...
I tried creating a log with the 2 setting, but nothing appeared in the messages window. Tried to create a short recording file which had this behavior but none of them did. Maybe size is a factor in these hangs. I uploaded 2 x 10 GByte files to dropbox, one that exhibits the "Hangs" bug, a...
I am finding that simple VLC playback of .m2ts files (hauppauge) works fine, but when indexing to specific points in the file, in maybe half the output .m2ts files, using step-forward, step-backward, or mouse-click in progress-bar, hangs often result. Some hangs last for 15 minutes, some 1 minute, s...
I'm using 3.0.18 and am encountering two problems that are posted elsewhere on the web. 1. Record often doesn't work and the only posted fixes are (a) reboot the machine or (b) reinstall VLC. This is a new machine, so, what is going on? 2. Documentation refers to the "Videos" directory, w...
99% is nowhere near the correct VLC usage proportion. The WMC player is single-instance, so it is necessary to have another simple player available to play unencrypted content files. However, the people who use VLC for normal non-hacking purposes generally do not show up on forums like this one. I p...
After looking into this Metadata issue some more, I discovered that some TV recording platforms save the video file without any metadata contained in the saved file. They then go onto an Internet site to look up information about the video file based on the filename title. This can result in Wrong i...
Again, this is advertiser/public relations nonsense -- how would you deal with the situation where you buy several audio CDs, but do not know which track is which ? Is the labeling metadata on each album/CD important in knowing which track to play or which album/CD the specific track is even on ? Of...
As I have stated, it is not always clear from the title or filename of a saved file why it was recorded. For instance, if the recording scheduler recorded some show I normally do not watch, like the nighttime so-called comedy shows, I might be inclined to quickly delete the file. However, a quick gl...
If you have a favorite actor/actress, and want to record and then playback some of the movies which she is in, should you have to remember all titles she was in and enter them to the Windows Media Center Scheduler ? Or just tell the WMC Scheduler to record movies with her name in the Program Descrip...
Disable metadata ?
Then how would you search for your favorite Jennifer Garner movie
that you recorded from all the saved video files on your hard disk ?
On what platform are you running ?
If you watch only a few movies, or series episodes per month, then the cable company's set top box or DVR should suffice. Windows Media Center and the Metadata which describes the content in each saved file saved by the WMC Scheduler is for a person, or family, who want to set up the WMC Scheduler e...
In episodic TV and with movies etc the metadata item "Broadcast Date" states the year/month/day date the saved video file content first aired. For example, it says "9/5/1990 12:00AM" for the movie Goodfellas. That Broadcast Date column allows the user to recognize what the playba...
Windows platform file Metadata is critical to recognizing the video file contents of all files Saved on the users' PC/Laptop. Windows Explorer has fantastic features which can display the metadata in all files in the Recorded TV and the Videos directories in columnar form with powerful mouse-hover c...

Trying the 4.0.0 Otto version, there has been a slight improvement in this problem, but it does not completely fix the bug in this lost functionality from pre-2.0 versions. The program should always have a correct progress bar representation of the current length of the Audio-Video file being played...
If, at this point, opening the Closed Captions Side-Window is the difficulty, how about writing the text to a HDD file with write/append mode and which can be open-ed and read with read mode in realtime ? Same filename, but with the *.CC extension. Or even at start of Audio-Video file playback, sear...
Now, what about the Closed Captions Side-Window scroll
with copy/paste accessibility ?
Just imagine one of the usages:
copy/paste-ing into a translator for English/Spanish to French/German.
Surely there is interest in this in the development team.
