HandbrakeCLI: "MP4ERROR: File size exceeded 4 GB; output unplayable."

marcoarment commented 9 years ago

Just ran the latest transcode-video.sh on a Blu-ray movie rip (Snatch, 102 min) with settings --big --no-surround --burn 12 --crop 20:20:0:0, and the transcode ended with the log below. The output MP4 is 5.74 GB and neither QuickTime nor VLC are willing to play it.

Is enabling "Large file size" my bug or yours?

Never mind, my bug. Old version of HandBrakeCLI was lingering in PATH.

What version of HandBrakeCLI are you using? This often happens with versions prior to 0.10.0, the current stable release.

I actually removed --large-file support in an update on December 30, 2014 because the HandBrake developers removed the option instead of just deprecating it. Really stupid move.

You can check your version number on OS X with this command:

strings ~/bin/HandBrakeCLI | grep ^HandBrake | sed -n 1p
