Using the new beta version (7.5.0.6 Beta)
For some reason I cannot get any of the changes I make to the profiles/presets to register?
For example - I want to encode BluRay to iPod and use some of the presets I use in Handbrake. Using the new iPhone profile works, but want to change/modify some of the encoding settings.
I go in and edit the presets file - in this case it is the one named x264_dp_PD_iphone.peset located in the Profiles 2 folder/preset.
I have made some changes to the original file but none of these changes seem to make any effect on the end result. Making a simple change of the reference frames - changing it from the default of 1 to 4 makes no change when reading the file in MediaInfo.
Using the original preset (not changed) MediaInfo reads the file with 1 ref frame. If I edit the preset file and change NbRefFrames from 1 to 4 and then re run the encoding MediInfo still reports the end file with 1 ref frame. I have tried to change a few other settings and the end file still reports the same as the original - Why?
Am I doing something really wrong - or is it something to do with the new encoding engine and MediaInfo not reporting correctly?
Any suggestions please?
Thanks. eon
