Hi all,
What am I doing wrong with Handbrake?
I wanted to convert a Video_TS file to Apple TV format, but when I select the Video_TS folder from within Handbrake, it processes for ever. I have to force quit Handbrake. After this my iMac (2.8 Core 2 Duo - 4GB ram) is so slow its unbearable, so a reboot is in order.
This can't be right, so what might I be missing here?
Thanks

How long is 'forever'? These conversions are not instant.

The new Handbrake may require VLC for your needs. VLC needs to be installed in your Applications folder if it is needed.
