Only several days later when I couldn't believe Handbrake could be so dumb as to not allow this, I spent some more time trying and found out that you have to select the whole directory from one level up and then it works.\r\n\r\nThe reason this was so hard to figure out was that when you selected the directory, there was no indication that you could actually open it. If you have clicked a file name before you click a directory name, the file name still stays in the \"Location\" input box, which makes it seem like the program doesn't really take selecting directories seriously enough to open them.\r\n\r\nI think it would be much more intuitive to add a new item to the File menu that would be called something like \"Select Source Directory\" and that would open a file requester that only accepts a directory. That way, it would be clear what the user is supposed to do.\r\n\r\nAlso, it would be great to allow selection of multiple files, that would be concatenated in alphabetical order. For bonus points, allow adding new source files from other directories!\r\n\r\nThis would probably only work for source videos with the same width and height but still, it would be mighty worth it!\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/comments/229089039","html_url":"https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/238#issuecomment-229089039","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/238","id":229089039,"user":{"login":"bradleysepos","id":70239,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/70239?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos","html_url":"https://github.com/bradleysepos","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bradleysepos/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-28T15:39:14Z","updated_at":"2016-06-28T15:39:14Z","body":"Just an observation, it is typically better to feed HandBrake the entire VIDEO_TS rather than the VOB files themselves. The IFO files, for instance, contain valuable information about the disc structure."}}
