After using it I tried to altered file using ffmepg. but it does not support it and gives the “moov atom not found” error.

Anyone knows the solution for this?

Thanks in advance, —Kapil

My hadbrake settings are very similar to the iPod High Res and Normal presets. Reading down the interface, we have set: MP4 file, Large file size, H.264, frame rate same as source, avg bitrate 1000, (single pass), Track 1 LPCM AAC (faac) stereo 48 khz 160 kbps (and same for track 2 — other discs have one track as AC3 pass thru and the other as (I believe) an LPCM stereo mix-down.) Chapter marks are created, and I doubt I changed anything in advanced. I’m also generally ripping straight through Handbrake (VLC installed in Applications), rather than using a first MacTheRipper step.

I tried doing a dump of all the tags before and after an Atomic Parsley step, but didn’t see much useful in the diff (granted, I haven’t really tried to figure it out yet). But now I’ve got at least three different cases I can investigate — no problems, problems after two passes, and now problems after one pass. So hopefully I can find something in there.

‘Cause I gotta agree with you — a simple script to tag everything at once is SO much easier than doing it in any of the GUIs. :)

Every file that I have, files which are ripped from DVDs, exhibit this behavior.

I wonder if there is something different about files that come from other sources (AVIs? MOVs?)

All of my tests are done on an Intel iMac

Have you done any further research on this?

This time was a straight handbrake rip/encode, with no tags added at all. I also tried adding a couple basic tags in iTunes and then ran the test script again, and again, no video in the second file.

Maybe it’s an intel vs G4 thing? Might even be in a library somewhere. I guess I’ll have to do my Parsley tagging on the G4 box for now, or just stick with iTunes. :(

I also tried a different file (mp4 extension, but it’s generated by home-rolled ffmpeg scripts so I’ve no idea whether it’s actually an m4v container), and that worked too, with similar atoms (no @too, but had @cmt).

I don’t have much else media-wise on this box (I may have VLC, but that’s about as exotic as I get). The HandBrake actually happens on a faster box (Intel MacBook). Maybe I’ll try on that box later, if I get a chance.

Ping me if you’d like me to check any specific atoms, or set any that you have but I don’t, and I’ll try again.

If it makes any difference, my Atomic Parsley is in a subfolder of my Applications folder, not in the usual path — I amended the PATH command in the script to make sure it would be found.
