Description

Description of the feature or enhancement you'd like to see in HandBrake:

In order to do exact trimming, would you expand PTS selection (i.e. 'Range: Seconds') from hh:mm:ss to hh:mm:ss.sss? Alternatively, trimming to exact frame number, N=0,1,2..., would be very welcome and could be used to bypass potential PTS errors.

What version of HandBrake are you currently running (e.g., 1.3.0)?

1.3.1 (2020010400)

What operating system and version are you running (e.g., Ubuntu 19.10, macOS 10.15 Catalina, Windows 10 1909)?

Windows 10-1803

Research direction

Start by locating the HandBrake interface entry for “Range: Seconds” and trace how its PTS selection and trimming values are handled. The work is done when the range accepts hh:mm:ss.sss or exact frame numbers and trimming remains accurate around potential PTS errors.
