The Job Queue
=============================
It's common to want to queue up many jobs and let HandBrake process them over an extended period of time.
HandBrake offers two features to make this easier. A queue of jobs and batch scanning.
## Queue
### Adding a job to the Queue
On the application toolbar, there are two buttons that you can use.
![HandBrake app toolbar](../images/windows/add-to-queue.png "HandBrake Toolbar")
- Add to Queue
- When you press this button, it will add the currently selected source, title and the currently chosen settings to the queue
- Show Queue (x)
- where (x) is a number that tells you how many jobs you currently have on the queue for processing.
- When you press this button, the queue window will display showing you the current jobs waiting to be processed and those completed.
![HandBrake queue window](../images/windows/queue.png "HandBrake Queue Window")
### Editing Items on the queue.
You can't change a job that is currently on the queue. If you want to change a jobs settings, you must press the "edit job" button on the queue task itself.
This will remove the job from the queue and reconfigure the main window with the source and settings that job was configured with.
You can then re-add the job to the queue for processing.
## Batch Scan
If you have a folder of many files, you can point HandBrake at that folder and it will scan all the files at the top level of that directory.
Please note it does not recursively scan a directory.
After the scan has completed, each file will be listed as a separate title in the "Title" dropdown on the main window. Just like multiple titles on a DVD or Bluray.
You can then add each title to the queue.

Multiple encodes using the Queue
================================
Encoding videos takes time, and can use a lot of your computer's computational power.
Luckily, you can set up multiple encodes at once by adding them to HandBrake's `Queue`.
## Adding encodes to the Queue
Begin by [opening a Source, selecting a Title](../workflow/open-video-source.html), and [selecting a Preset](../workflow/select-preset.html). Then select the `Add to Queue` button on the toolbar.
<!-- .system-win -->
![HandBrake toolbar on Windows](../images/windows/toolbar.png "Select the Add to Queue button on the toolbar to add your encode to the queue.")
<!-- /.system-win -->
Select the `Show Queue` button on the toolbar to see the queued encodes, or `Jobs`.
<!-- .system-win -->
![HandBrake toolbar on Windows](../images/windows/toolbar.png "Select the Show Queue button on the toolbar to open the Queue window.")
![Queue window on Windows](../images/windows/queue.png "The Queue window lists pending Jobs.")
<!-- /.system-win -->
You may open additional `Sources` and add them to the `Queue` in the same manner.
## Adding multiple encodes simultaneously
When using the `Queue`, you may find it beneficial to create multiple `Jobs` at one time.
<!-- .system-mac -->
On Mac, first open the `Preferences` window using the `HandBrake` menu.
![Opening the Preferences window on Mac](../images/mac/preferences-menu.png "Open the Preferences window using the HandBrake menu.")
In the `General` section, ensure that the `Automatically name output files` setting is selected and `Title` is part of the `Format` field.
![Selecting the Automatically name output files setting](../images/mac/preferences-auto-naming.png "Select Automatically name output files ensure unique file names when adding multiple Titles to the Queue.")
This ensures that each of your `Jobs` will be given a unique file name, and not overwrite each other.
<!-- /.system-mac -->
<!-- .system-win -->
On Windows, first open the `Preferences` window using the `Tools` menu.
![Opening the Preferences window on Windows](../images/windows/preferences-menu.png "Open the Preferences window using the Tools menu.")
In the `Output Files` section, ensure that the `Automatically name output files` setting is selected. Set a `Default Path` (where your new videos will be created) and make sure `Title` is part of the `File Format` field.
![Selecting the Automatically name output files setting](../images/windows/preferences-auto-naming.png "Set up Automatic File Naming to ensure unique file names when adding multiple Titles to the Queue.")
This ensures that each of your `Jobs` will be given a unique file name, and not overwrite each other.
<!-- /.system-win -->
If your `Source` is a Blu-ray, DVD, or other disc or disc-like format with multiple `Titles`, you may open it with HandBrake and add multiple `Titles` to the `Queue` simultaneously.
Additionally, you may open multiple single-`Title` videos (excluding discs and disc-like formats) as one virtual `Source` with multiple `Titles` using the `Open Source` dialog, and then add multiple `Titles` to the `Queue`[^batch-scan-subdirectories].
<!-- .system-lin -->
On Linux, select `Add Multiple` from the `Queue` menu, then select the `Titles` you wish to encode using the presented dialog. Be sure to give each a unique file name.
<!-- /.system-lin -->
<!-- .system-mac -->
![Open Source dialog](../images/mac/open-source-dialog.png "The Open Source dialog allows you to browse your files for a video to open.")
On Mac, select `Add Titles to Queue...` from the `File` menu, then select the `Titles` you wish to encode using the presented dialog.
<!-- /.system-mac -->
<!-- .system-win -->
On Windows, select `All Selection to Queue` from the `Queue` menu to add all `Titles`.
<!-- /.system-win -->
You may open additional `Sources` and add them to the `Queue` in the same manner.
## Editing Jobs
To make changes to `Jobs` in the `Queue`, first open the `Queue` window by selecting the `Show Queue` button on the toolbar.
<!-- .system-win -->
![HandBrake toolbar on Windows](../images/windows/toolbar.png "Select the Show Queue button on the toolbar to open the Queue window.")
<!-- /.system-win -->
To remove a `Job`, select the `` button next to the unwanted `Job`.
<!-- .system-win -->
![Removing an encode Job on Windows](../images/windows/queue.png "Select the remove button, which looks like a red X, to remove a Job from the Queue.")
<!-- /.system-win -->
If you want to make changes to a `Job` already in the `Queue`, select the edit button next to the `Job`. Editing a `Job` opens the `Source` in HandBrake's main window and removes the `Job` from the `Queue`.
<!-- .system-win -->
![Editing an encode Job on Windows](../images/windows/queue.png "Select the edit button, which looks like a sheet of paper, to make changes to a Job.")
<!-- /.system-win -->
When you're finished making changes, again add the encode to the `Queue` by selecting the `Add to Queue` button on the toolbar.
<!-- .system-win -->
![HandBrake toolbar on Windows](../images/windows/toolbar.png "Select the Add to Queue button on the toolbar to add your encode to the queue.")
<!-- /.system-win -->
## Starting the Queue
When ready, select the `Start` button on the toolbar or `Queue` window to begin encoding the `Jobs` in the `Queue`.
[^batch-scan-subdirectories]: When opening multiple videos in a folder, HandBrake ignores any additional folders inside. Make sure the videos you wish to open are at the top level of the selected folder.
