HB can read and code.WMV files, while MPS is not able to read more than 3 minutes unless a complementary encoder is paid (Flip4Mac ?) However, it comes at the expense of a small contrast loss (a frequent and limited drawback of HB) For example, the 7 Gb of the DVD "The deer hunter" contains many scenes where blocks of pixels are visible. It can mould them into a finer grain, so that no block is visible anymore. it does a better job when there are blocks of pixels.

HOWEVER, HB has some advantages over MPS: Therefore, I now use systematically MPS and I recommend it. On other occasions HB could also hang my Mac, forcing me to reboot, a most seldom thing on a MacBookPro with OSX 10.6.5 and 2G memory that never happened with MPS.įinally, while my tests of HB often ended with unreadable files (typically when the Pyramidal B-Frames or the 8x8 BCT options were checked), MPS never produced an unreadable file. Moreover, MPS can (almost always) repair the timecode ruptures that are frequent and hang HB (sometimes causing an overflow of the disk space, because HB's log becomes enormous or its first pass stores endless information). All was tested on 4 readers : MpegStreamClip, Movist, VLC and NicePlayer.įor comparable results, always with an advantage for MPS, it seemed that HB was a bit slower. MPS systematically provided better color rendition and contrast, whatever HB's parameters were. This was aiming at the same quality level (70 % = almost perfect) for both HB and MPS. AvideMux is more of a Converter/Editor and isn't quite as useful for Stream Stripping as MPEG Streamclip and remux 1.4.Ī COMPARISON OF "MPEG Streamclip" (MPS) and "Hand Brake" (HB):Īfter hundreds of tests from VOB files, parametered using HB's profuse help menus, forums and links, I could NEVER reach the same quality as with MPS whose Multiplepass and B-Frames options were selected.

Sad that we will lose its use, when 32 bit Apps can't be used and in reply to Dougster, the only other useful App I've found for Stripping out Streams is remux 1.4, which I use for HD, as MPEG Streamclip is for SD only. The fact that MPEG Streamclip has a cutter, is a bonus, but that's not it's real purpose.

mts and Apple Final Cut Pro X imports it wonderfully for editing.

This is really useful in the case of Stripping SD Multiple Streams, outputting to mpeg (Quick and no quality loss), Renaming the. With this App, you can just output the required Video and main Audio Stream and dump the rest.

TS DTV Stream may contain Video, multiple Audio Streams, Teletext Streams, etc. It is as it says "MPEG Streamclip", strips Streams from Transport Stream files and the like. This is an App that I really could not do without. 'Info' on the App and check 'Open in low resolution' definitely fixes it, but note that any major OS Updates resets it and you have to set it again. I first noticed it on my 2015 27" 5k Mac (I believe it was El Cap then). Further to my comment Dec 22, 2017, the GUI misplacement is a Retina High Res thing, rather than related to MacOS version.
