Hybrid is a very powerful tool. It takes a bit of getting used to all the settings but most of the settings are explained on the right side of the window, just by hovering the mouse cursor over anything.
I would use Hybrid mainly for converting Blu-ray movies to MP4 with x264 and AAC audio. The main problem I have found with this tool is that not everything seems to work! First of all and the most disappointing thing is that the output is slightly out of sync. I thought that Hybrid detected the delay and applied it automatically because in the log it shows DELAY -50ms for one of my Blu-rays but it's still out of sync, but only very slightly. The second thing that didn't work for me on all the Blu-ray inputs I tested was that it can't handle the chapters. It gives an error "Something went wrong while looking for inputs of name in: ffmpeg -y -loglevel fatal" ect. It only works if I delete all chapters. The third thing that didn't work is the Preview. Even with Hybrid with default settings, the video is very slow motion and the audio stutters constantly. So I can't check for sync issues in the preview because it simply don't work. The fourth thing that didn't work was selecting Qaac as the audio encoder and cbr. Hybrid would crash straight after extracting the DTS audio from the Blu-ray source. Fifth thing that don't work is Auto Crop. It simply don't detect any black borders and you have to enter the numbers manually. Handbrake detects them perfectly.
Maybe there are settings to fix these problems but I can't find much help with Hybrid by Googling and I'm not advanced enough to know what all the setting mean, so for now I'll be using Handbrake instead as it's really easy to use and gets the job done with no hassle. |
