It means that debugmode frameserver is not properly installed.

Run the installer again and change the path to Vegas 14 folder instead of the default Vegas 13.

Sorry for not replying earlier. Thank you for your suggestion. I did install debugmode frameserver to the Vegas 14 folder as you suggested. Debugmode Frameserver now does appear in my render list. When I attempted to render, the process proceeded further than before; however it still hung up. I forget the error message. However, the message led me to the start_vegas2handbrake.bat file as the possible culprit. A few other posts about DXDY's changes led me to modify his file. His file reads:

:hbstart
start "" CALL "C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrake" "C:\Volumes\vegas.avs\vegas.avi"
:waitforhandbrake
timeout /t 3 /nobreak
tasklist | findstr /i "HandBrake.exe"

I removed CALL from the first line. So the file now reads:

:hbstart
start "" "C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrake" "C:\Volumes\vegas.avs\vegas.avi"
:waitforhandbrake
timeout /t 3 /nobreak
tasklist | findstr /i "HandBrake.exe"

Hoooray! Everything is working. Thank you again to everyone for your suggestions, particularly RedPrince and GJeffrey.

Just one more detail. Don’t forget you need an extra second at the end because of a bug in Frameserver. Please see the last message on page 1 of this thread on how I finally solved dealing with that bug by creating a 1-second-silence.wav which I add at the end of any video I send to HandBrake through the Frameserver.

As mentioned in that message, you can download it from TinyUpload.com. Not only can you use it for frameserving to HandBrake, you can use it anywhere you may need to insert some silence (since Vegas allows you to stretch/shrink it to any duration you want). And of course it’s free.

Thanks. I've read your posts about that. I did that in my tests of Vegas2HandBrake using a 30 second time line with narration to the very end....plus the 1-second of silence. Worked great.

Very good! 🙂

Confused! I just upgraded to the latest version of Handbrake, but I'm still using Vegas 13. Now I'm getting the windows cannot find handbrake error. What do I need to do?

I guess this should work. Change lines 22 to 26 in C:\frameserver\batch\start_vegas2handbrake.bat from

:hbstart
start handbrake "C:\Volumes\vegas.avs\vegas.avi"
:waitforhandbrake
timeout /t 3 /nobreak
tasklist | findstr /i "Handbrake.exe"

to

:hbstart
start "" CALL "C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrake" "C:\Volumes\vegas.avs\vegas.avi"
:waitforhandbrake
timeout /t 3 /nobreak
tasklist | findstr /i "HandBrake.exe"

Note that capital B in the last line.

That kind of fixed it, seems to be working, although after I exit HB, I'm left with two open cmd windows for some reason... But the bigger problem I just noticed is that after I upgraded HB to 1.0, my custom presets are gone. Is there a way to get them back? Are they hiding in a file somewhere from the old HB? I think I may go back to HB  0.10.5 as the new version seems quite the hassle so far, especially since it doesn't bring in old presets.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to download the Vegas2Handbrake script, but there is a login screen (snapshot below) and I couldn't manage to download the script at the link provided in this forum: http://www.vegasvideo.de/

 

Could someone please provide directions on how to accomplish the download of Vegas2Handbrake script?

 

Thanks!

Hey just stumbled upon this as I was struggling to get this script working since updating my handbrake. Fixed it now due to some of the comments on the thread as I stupidly installed it on another drive doh. Cadudesun it looks like the site has gone down but you can still download it via wayback machine.

Is handbrake capable of making a file I can feed DVDA to make into a blu-ray that DVDA won't force me to re-encode?

DVDA doesn't force you to re-encode as long as you render video with a DVDA template and audio as AC3 Pro.

But there aren't any DVDA templates in Handbrake? I was trying to get around having to use Vegas' internal encoders if possible so I could get a little more speed and higher quality encodes.
