converting a 1080p MKV to ATV2 format using the latest new release of Handbrake, but is appears to be bombing out of the encode after a few seconds.

any ideas why? (i attached the log)

Here is the relevant part of the log:

Code:
[matroska,webm @ 0x102111c00] Read error at pos. 18671682 (0x11ce842)

... and right below it:

Code:
[10:02:14] sync: got 341 frames, 147816 expected
[10:02:14] h264-decoder done: 341 frames, 0 decoder errors, 0 drops

Basically its a crappy source ... or at least one that libav cannot read properly .. How does it play back with vlc or mplayer ?
 
VLC seems to play it OK, well it starts and ends as it should.
if the logs could tell me at what particular point it's having a problem at then i could skip to there and see what happens.

er, read the log, it bails out at frame 341
 
Handbrake encodes by frames, so if you know the framerate then simply calculate 341/framerate to find where it is in seconds.
 
Maybe try converting it to an MP4 and then seeing if Handbrake can handle it.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkv2mp4/

If it's a simple problem with the container then the conversion should solve that without losing any additional quality by eliminating the need to re-encode.

trying to use mkv2mp4 just now and getting the following error when using it.

Code:
Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -t switch at /usr/local/bin/mkv2mp4.pl line 46.
Insecure EXEC while running with -t switch at /usr/local/bin/mkv2mp4.pl line 46.
no mkvinfo found at /usr/local/bin/mkv2mp4.pl line 46.

any ideas?
 
I'm seeing the same error as the OP since about 2 weeks on my MacMini Lion 10.7.3 with handbrake 0.9.6 and even some of the recent nightly builds.

If it's source related, why is it not repeatable ? It exits at different points throughout the file, but upon retrying a few times, it would eventually finish properly.
Memory leak? cpu limits when competing with other tasks ?

I'm still searching and trying different permutations. The only thing I can say so far, I haven't seen a short encode on Snow Leopard, using the same handbrake version and the same source files (tried 10 so far on both SL & Lion) .

However, since Lion was released months, I have successfully encoded 100+ files. Never seen this type of problem. This "dropout" issue is quite recent.
