@Reto ,
don't leave us in the dark. I think everybody is interested in what you guys have as priorities. I have read that AMD hardware support is broken because of a new API. So maybe that. But please let us know.
SamuraiHL, agree with your (2) but regarding (3) often commentary tracks are AC3 so I don’t see so much benefit for that?
They are fun sometimes.I agree, I don't see much benefit from commentary tracks, either.
Meh then you guys wouldn't use the option to only select HD audio by default.They are fun sometimes.
About that - I asked Reto about it, it is on a might-possibly-do-list, but as it is so often: it's not as simple as it seems at first.Meh then you guys wouldn't use the option to only select HD audio by default.
My wishlist:
Picture cropping (remove black bars). Very useful for subtitles with constant image height or cinemascope displays with clever playback devices like Kodi.
to a lesser extend:
Select core audio.
About that - I asked Reto about it, it is on a might-possibly-do-list, but as it is so often: it's not as simple as it seems at first.
Most non-English speakers typically select their language plus English. Sometimes this is either English HD and native non-HD or vice-versa.
As you know - one of the major goals was to keep CloneBD simple and easy to understand (expressly NOT like Handbrake and others, that confuse the hell out of people with option-overkill and sometimes really bad user guidance).
Can you suggest a good label for such a checkbox and a good behaviour?
If I were to select English and Spanish, but only English is available in HD, Spanish has two SD tracks, one is commentary, what would the check-box do?
I fully understand why you'd like this feature, but I also see a great potential for confusion and the program not behaving like the user expected.
- only copy English and ignore the fact, that Spanish was requested entirely?
- copy English HD and both Spanish tracks?
- throw a message box with a long text explaining, why the situation cannot be resolved automatically?
[I saw a lot of activity here about CloneBD] I posted this https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/compress-uhd-rip-to-bd50-iso-error.77099/ almost 2 mos ago. Just wondering if anyone had a look or has any input?
So for your scenario, it would do the first option BECAUSE you have opted to ONLY select HD audio tracks. Since there aren't any in Spanish in that use case, there's nothing for it to auto-select. What I think people forget is that this is auto-selection. Nothing is preventing you from adding additional tracks as you see fit. I don't want to have to go UNselect a bunch of non-HD audio tracks which is why I want the option. The checkbox label should be "Select HD Audio ONLY" and should do exactly that....in the chosen language/s they select, auto select ONLY HD audio tracks. If there aren't any HD audio tracks in a chosen language, too bad. Again, it's only for auto selection. They can absolutely NOT use the HD Audio ONLY checkbox and/or they could add additional tracks not auto selected by the HD Audio ONLY checkbox rules. I agree with keeping it simple....which is precisely what I'm looking for.
