I seem to narrow down my issue with the 2.5.x releases. Problematic conversions seem to be some TV programs broadcoast in H.264. With hardware encoding enabled, a first handbrake pass starts with parameter --enable-qsv-decoding. This pass eventually hangs and get killed. A second pass then starts with parameter --disable-qsv-decoding. This one succeeds.
Undoubtedly, my issues result from using old (sandy bridge) hardware. Nevertheless, the quicksyn encoding greatly speeds up the process so I would like to use it. Is there a way to skip the first pass with --enable-qsv-decoding and go straight to the --disable-qsv-decoding pass which seems to work fine.
The log file is attached.
Thank you for helping.
