Handbrake Lite

How do I get rid of the english subtititles when using handbrake?

While we are on the subject of video and before the year is over does anyone know what happened to the "Year of HD"?

Did I miss something? Was I asleep?

macfanboy - you can use DivxDoctor II to convert .avi to .mov. Once it is .mov you can import it easily to iMovie and iDVD to get it on disc. Mpgs are very similar and they may even work with iMovie as they are, though I'm not sure because I almost always work with .dv or .mov files. QuickTime Pro is very convenient for converting videos, and at only $30 it is well worth it, imo.

Sounds cool, but what I really have been looking for is just the opposite. How to convert avi and mpg to DVD easily on a Mac. I've tried ffmpg and Toast 7 but didn't really like the results. Any suggestions?

I'm totally loving the sippy cup icon.

Does anyone know of a resource of the different ways to encode videos to? I have never known the best format, and codecs to use depending on if I need .mov, .mp4, .avi, .mpg; and if I need high or low file size; and high or low video quality. Anything would be helpful.

lgc90, the 768kbps limit is for h.264 encoded video. Handbrake Lite encodes in mpeg4, which as a 2500kbps limit on the iPod.

If you use h264 the limit is 768kbps, but if you use mpeg4 the max is 2500kbps.

1000kbps avg? I thought the max was 700, and I always use 400, with no visible loss of quality except when playing in full screen on my computer.

Kind of ironic that I'm reading this now since I'm about 3 hours into a 4 hour rip of a video for a friend of mine that wants to put Princess Mononoke on his new video iPod. Well, may check this out for the next time I have to do this.
