The Job Queue
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
It's common to want to queue up many jobs and let HandBrake process them over an extended period of time.
|
||||
|
||||
HandBrake offers two features to make this easier. A queue of jobs and batch scanning.
|
||||
|
||||
## Queue
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a job to the Queue
|
||||
|
||||
On the application toolbar, there are two buttons that you can use.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- Add to Queue
|
||||
- When you press this button, it will add the currently selected source, title and the currently chosen settings to the queue
|
||||
|
||||
- Show Queue (x)
|
||||
- where (x) is a number that tells you how many jobs you currently have on the queue for processing.
|
||||
- When you press this button, the queue window will display showing you the current jobs waiting to be processed and those completed.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Editing Items on the queue.
|
||||
|
||||
You can't change a job that is currently on the queue. If you want to change a jobs settings, you must press the "edit job" button on the queue task itself.
|
||||
This will remove the job from the queue and reconfigure the main window with the source and settings that job was configured with.
|
||||
You can then re-add the job to the queue for processing.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Batch Scan
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a folder of many files, you can point HandBrake at that folder and it will scan all the files at the top level of that directory.
|
||||
Please note it does not recursively scan a directory.
|
||||
|
||||
After the scan has completed, each file will be listed as a separate title in the "Title" dropdown on the main window. Just like multiple titles on a DVD or Bluray.
|
||||
|
||||
You can then add each title to the queue.

||||

Multiple encodes using the Queue
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
Encoding videos takes time, and can use a lot of your computer's computational power.
|
||||
|
||||
Luckily, you can set up multiple encodes at once by adding them to HandBrake's `Queue`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding encodes to the Queue
|
||||
|
||||
Begin by [opening a Source, selecting a Title](../workflow/open-video-source.html), and [selecting a Preset](../workflow/select-preset.html). Then select the `Add to Queue` button on the toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
Select the `Show Queue` button on the toolbar to see the queued encodes, or `Jobs`.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
You may open additional `Sources` and add them to the `Queue` in the same manner.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding multiple encodes simultaneously
|
||||
|
||||
When using the `Queue`, you may find it beneficial to create multiple `Jobs` at one time.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-mac -->
|
||||
|
||||
On Mac, first open the `Preferences` window using the `HandBrake` menu.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In the `General` section, ensure that the `Automatically name output files` setting is selected and `Title` is part of the `Format` field.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This ensures that each of your `Jobs` will be given a unique file name, and not overwrite each other.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-mac -->
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, first open the `Preferences` window using the `Tools` menu.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In the `Output Files` section, ensure that the `Automatically name output files` setting is selected. Set a `Default Path` (where your new videos will be created) and make sure `Title` is part of the `File Format` field.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This ensures that each of your `Jobs` will be given a unique file name, and not overwrite each other.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
If your `Source` is a Blu-ray, DVD, or other disc or disc-like format with multiple `Titles`, you may open it with HandBrake and add multiple `Titles` to the `Queue` simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, you may open multiple single-`Title` videos (excluding discs and disc-like formats) as one virtual `Source` with multiple `Titles` using the `Open Source` dialog, and then add multiple `Titles` to the `Queue`[^batch-scan-subdirectories].
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-lin -->
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, select `Add Multiple` from the `Queue` menu, then select the `Titles` you wish to encode using the presented dialog. Be sure to give each a unique file name.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-lin -->
|
||||
<!-- .system-mac -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
On Mac, select `Add Titles to Queue...` from the `File` menu, then select the `Titles` you wish to encode using the presented dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-mac -->
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, select `All Selection to Queue` from the `Queue` menu to add all `Titles`.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
You may open additional `Sources` and add them to the `Queue` in the same manner.
|
||||
|
||||
## Editing Jobs
|
||||
|
||||
To make changes to `Jobs` in the `Queue`, first open the `Queue` window by selecting the `Show Queue` button on the toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a `Job`, select the `╳` button next to the unwanted `Job`.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to make changes to a `Job` already in the `Queue`, select the edit button next to the `Job`. Editing a `Job` opens the `Source` in HandBrake's main window and removes the `Job` from the `Queue`.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
When you're finished making changes, again add the encode to the `Queue` by selecting the `Add to Queue` button on the toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- .system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!-- /.system-win -->
|
||||
|
||||
## Starting the Queue
|
||||
|
||||
When ready, select the `Start` button on the toolbar or `Queue` window to begin encoding the `Jobs` in the `Queue`.
|
||||
|
||||
[^batch-scan-subdirectories]: When opening multiple videos in a folder, HandBrake ignores any additional folders inside. Make sure the videos you wish to open are at the top level of the selected folder.
