![]() The problem is when you want to keep the same creation/modification date to use videos in services like Google Photos, which use chronological order. They don't want to lose video quality but they want to reduce size. I get your point but I don't think most users require full metadata pass-through and that is not what we're asking for.Ī lot of users come across Handbrake looking for reducing their disk space (just like the guy that created this issue). In summary, I would be very happy if Handbrake could retain/copy all (excluding any "Encoded by") metadata tag information. EmmGunn's MP4tools (a GUI wrapper to ffmpeg tools) copies TV Episode # and TV Season when creating Matroska Multimedia Container (MKV) container files but screws-up large numbers in these two fields. The 1, 2, 3… numbering convention suits some types/classes/kinds of media (TV series drama, comedy etc) but not others (TV news and current affairs, lecture recordings, sporting events etc). In some situations it is better to use year in the season field rather than 1, 2, 3… convention. If a Handbrake developers/contributor is adding this feature be sure TV Season data can handle/manage larger integers. Perhaps SublerCLI, PySubler ( ) and write a simple python script to automate copying metadata tag information from source media to Handbrake/handbrakeCLI encoded destination media. The other metadata information (including the poster artwork) n is not retained/copied to new media encoded.Īnticipating Handbrake developers give this a low priority (or decided against any work in this area) I've recently started to think about other possible solutions. Handbrake retains/copies Name, Genre and Long Description. Sometimes also Description, Long Description, poster artwork, Media Kind. ![]() Most of the media I'm re-encoding/transcoding has the following meta: Name, Genre, Release Date, TV Show, TV Episode #, TV Season, Studio, Cast. I would also like to see more (close to all) metadata retained/copied to new Handbrake encoded media. Handbrake seems to copy/retain some metadata tag information but not all.
