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.
