Before updating HandBrake, please make sure there are no pending encodes in the queue, and be sure to make a backup of any custom presets and app preferences you have, as they may not be compatible with newer versions.

Windows users, please make sure to install Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime version 6.0.x. Read carefully: you need the DESKTOP runtime. You must install .NET 6 even if you have installed .NET 7 or 8

Windows users, please make sure to install Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime version 6.0.x. Read carefully: you need the DESKTOP runtime. You must install .NET 6 even if you have installed .NET 7.

Windows users, please make sure to install Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime version 6.0.0 or later. Read carefully: you need the DESKTOP runtime.
Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime version 5.0.0 or later is also required. (This dependency will be removed in HandBrake 1.5.1)

Please take note that HandBrake.fr and and FlatHub are the only official places where HandBrake can be downloaded from.
There are many unofficial mirrors of HandBrake and while most of them offer legit versions of HandBrake, there are a few that don't.
Please be cautious of possible scams. HandBrake is free software and does not require an account to use! It runs entirely locally on your computer.

Certain Linux distributions and package repositories create their own versions of HandBrake. These modified versions are often crippled (features removed for political reasons) and broken (bugs due to modifications), and should be avoided.

Sure, there is still use for rpms.
I simply dont like the way that people just demand an update of packages, without getting their feet wet.
We all should highly appreciate the work of all the maintainers and packagers out there.

HandBrake is a free and open-source transcoder for digital video files. It was originally developed in 2003 by Eric Petit to make ripping DVDs to a data storage device easier.[3] HandBrake's backend contains comparatively little original code; the program is an integration of many third-party audio and video libraries, both codecs (such as FFmpeg, x264, and x265) and other components such as video deinterlacers (referred to as "filters"). These are collected in such a manner to make their use more effective and accessible (e.g., so that a user does not have to transcode a video's audio and visual components in separate steps, or with inaccessible command-line utilities).

In September 2006, Rodney Hester and Chris Long had been independently working to extract the H.264 video compression format from Apple's iPod firmware (1.2) through reverse engineering before meeting on the HandBrake forum. Since their work was complementary, they began working together to develop an unstable, but still compileable, release of HandBrake supporting the H.264 format. Hester and Long made progress in terms of stability, functionality, and look and feel, but it was not possible to submit their patch to the HandBrake subversion repository without authorization from Petit.[3]

Unable to submit their revisions as a successor to HandBrake, Hester created a subversion repository mirroring HandBrake's final subversion (0.7.1) on the HandBrake website and began development on top of that. Hester and Long named the new project MediaFork.[3]

On February 13, 2007, Hester and Long were contacted by Petit, who informed them of his support and encouraged them to continue developing. Plans were then made to reintegrate MediaFork as a direct successor to HandBrake. The MediaFork website and forums were moved to HandBrake's, and the next release was officially named HandBrake.[3] On December 24, 2016, after more than 13 years of development, HandBrake 1.0.0 was released.[4]

Some GPUs (including GPUs physically integrated with CPUs, referred to by AMD as APUs) contain dedicated hardware for video encoding and decoding (Intel's Quick Sync Video, Nvidia's NVENC, or AMD's Video Coding Engine / Video Core Next). This hardware is usually provided for scenarios where quick and power-efficient compressed video is desired, such as videoconferencing and streaming video. It is less often used for transcoding like that performed by HandBrake because its compression efficiency can rarely match that of an optimized software encoder for the same codec,[7] but HandBrake still provides the owners of compatible hardware (who are willing to accept the tradeoff) with the option of hardware encoding. Quick Sync was added in November 2014 with version 0.10.0, while NVENC and the VCE became supported in version 1.2.0, released in December 2018.[8] (HandBrake supports both the VCE and the newer VCN, but its interface only mentions the VCE by name, even if VCN hardware is present or a codec is being used that is too new to have VCE support.)

Users can customize the output by altering the bit rate, maximum file size or bit rate and sample rate via "constant quality".[9] HandBrake supports adaptive deinterlacing, scaling, detelecine, and cropping, both automatic and manual.[2]

HandBrake supports batch encoding through graphical user interface (GUI) and command-line interface (CLI).[10] Third-party scripts and UIs exist specifically for this purpose, such as HandBrake Batch Encoder,[11] VideoScripts,[12] and Batch HandBrake.[13] All make use of the CLI to enable queueing of several files in a single directory.[citation needed]

HandBrake transcodes video and audio from nearly any format to a handful of modern ones, but it does not defeat or circumvent copy protection.[14] One form of input is DVD-Video stored on a DVD, in an ISO image of a DVD, or on any data storage device as a VIDEO_TS folder.

As with DVDs, HandBrake does not directly support the decryption of Blu-ray discs. However, HandBrake can be used to transcode a Blu-ray disc if DRM is first removed using a third-party application.[15]

In 2011, Preston Gralla of PC World praised HandBrake for its feature set: "Advanced users will be pleased at the number of options." However, he criticized the usability for new users: "Note that HandBrake isn't necessarily the easiest program to use. It has a large number of options available, and there's no good explanation of what they do or how to use them. Beginners should stick with the defaults". He concluded by calling HandBrake a "solid choice" for people who are looking for a free video transcoder.[18]

This plate is for reinforcing the tunnel on your Chase Bays Hydro Handbrake VERSION THREE installation. It is all steel, 4mm thick, and pre-tapped for M8 hardware that is included in the hand brake purchase. This is offered as an option within the Handbrake product page itself, this is mainly here for those who want to buy it after they've already purchased the handbrake.
