Are you using the latest version of Handbrake?

Did drop the video.sl preset here -->> /Users//Library/Application Support/HandBrake/ <<-- within the Handbrake folder?

yes using the latest version, an i have posted it there...still no joy....thanks shaun.

Was Handbrake closed before copying the preset file to the Handbrake folder?

I got it to work, dont know how! however, i have about 2000 files to convert from hard drive is there an easy way of doing it? (This is all for handbrake) It will selecting all but not register in que. you would think is was straight forward. wot am i doing wrong?

Cool, glad to hear you got it to work :)

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to convert a bunch of . Handbrake doesn't do batch analysis at the moment :(

You can set up the queue feature, but you'll need to add files to it one at a time.

Get comfortable, it's going to take a while to get through 2000 videos.

Ok guys,
I tried everything I could...
Even the instructions you posted in the forum (step by step).

And yes I'm running the latest version of Handbrake..

For some reason when I drop the 'Video-SL .zip folder" into the HB icon,
the application opens but the Video-SL doesn't appears in the presets,
neither a "Add Preset Window" or nothing...

I need to get this up and running soon..

Help and advices are highly appreciated.

If you open the .zip folder, what files do you find inside?

Step 1 reads: Save the un-zip the Video-SL.hb file to a location on your hard drive

but, It should read: 1. Save the Video-SL_handbrake_preset.zip file to your hard drive and then un-zip/extract the Video-SL.hb file to your desktop.
2. Drag the Video-SL.hb preset file onto the Handbrake icon to launch Handbrake

It sounds like you're trying to drag the .zip folder to the Handbrake icon instead of the Video-SL.hb file.
