 HandBrake is available for Linux, OS X, and Windows, at the [official HandBrake website](https://handbrake.fr/).

+#### Warning about 3rd party download sites
+
+Please be aware that this is the *only* official download source for HandBrake. If you download from any other website, we highly recommend you check the download checksums against those published on our website: [Checksum List](https://handbrake.fr/checksums.php).
+
+Unfortunately, since HandBrake is free and open-source, 3rd parties are able to re-package our downloads. In some cases they bundle Adware / Malware with our code. We have no control over this which is why we highly recommend you only ever download directly from https://handbrake.fr to avoid any problems.
