I feel like there are like a billion guides on how to transcode with Handbrake.
Then why not post one?
Because Google isn't down.
That's horseshit. Google has gone downhill, for one thing.
For another, the vomit of inaccurate and/or outright wrong "ai" generated drek has taken over every search provider.
For another, there's a lot of benefit in asking other people that have followed a guide about their experiences in using them
And, for the last, it's just a dick move. Don't want to give a real answer, scroll on, scroll on.
I would have provided a guide if I had followed one, but I learned how to use Handbrake using trial and error.
Google is easy enough to use that, generally speaking, if you know what software you want to use, you can probably find a guide on how to use it.
And, again, since you had nothing to contribute, maybe scrolling past would have been better than being a dick about it.
Just saying, it's an option. The post didn't do anything to inconvenience you any more than any other random post. OP didn't name you in specific to give a response, no matter what it might be.
That's what it comes down to.
It's Wheaton's law. Don't be a dick.
So, apply it. Be better. We can all use improvement in how we treat people, right? I mean, you're making some kind of reaction to being told your words were dickish. Anyone would. So, don't double down. Don't make excuses. Just use it in the future.
I guess I didn't come off how I intended to. Oops.
No worries, happens to simply everyone eventually :)
