Checking for updates
-
-
HandBrake can let you know when a newer version is available, and even automatically download and install available updates.
-
-
Before updating, make sure there are pending encodes in the Queue and make note of any custom presets you have created, as they may not be compatible with the newer version.
-
-
From the main menu, navigate to HandBrake and select Check for Updates....
-
-
-
-
If an update is available, you will be given the opportunity to install it right away. To enable automatic updates, select the appropriate checkbox labeled Automatically download and install updates in the future.
To download HandBrake to your computer, click the download button on the HandBrake website’s Home page. You can also choose a version for a specific operating system from the Downloads page.
-
-
Experienced users may wish to try HandBrake’s nightly builds1.
-
-
Installing
-
-
Once you’ve downloaded HandBrake for OS X, open the DMG file in your Downloads folder (your web browser, e.g. Safari/Chrome/Firefox, may do this for you automatically). Drag the HandBrake application to your Applications folder.
-
-
-
-
HandBrake is now installed. You may eject the disk image and move it to the Trash.

About OS X Gatekeeper
-
-
The first time you attempt to launch HandBrake, OS X may present this warning to you:
-
-
-
-
HandBrake is not “signed” by Apple. This message doesn’t mean anything is wrong; rather, it indicates that HandBrake is not part of Apple’s paid program to validate OS X applications. Click OK to dismiss the dialog.
-
-
To instruct Gatekeeper to allow HandBrake to run, press the Control key, then click the HandBrake icon, and then select Open from the shortcut menu. Gatekeeper will ask whether you are certain you wish to open HandBrake, and you may confirm that you are by clicking Open2.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Now HandBrake is up and running. You should not have to repeat the Gatekeeper process until you update HandBrake.
-
-
Launching HandBrake
-
-
You may launch HandBrake by quickly clicking twice (double-clicking) on the cocktail & pineapple icon.
-
-
-
-

Nightly builds are based on HandBrake’s latest development code, including new and experimental features that may be unstable or significantly different than the latest release version. Although everyone is welcome to try them, nightly builds are best suited for experienced users and developers.↩
-
-
These instructions are taken directly from Apple’s OS X Gatekeeper support documents. You can learn more about Gatekeeper here and here.↩
Ubuntu Linux users should install the official release PPA or the official snapshots PPA. The PPA may work, but is not tested, on other Debian-compatible distributions. Users of other BSD- and *nix-like distributions may compile from source.
Other versions obtained via third parties are not supported.
-
-
Warning about broken third-party builds
-
-
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.
-
-
Broken third-party packages/builds include but are not limited to:
Please do not request support for these or any other unofficial versions. The HandBrake Team has zero control over them and therefore cannot provide meaningful support.

HandBrake is an open-source video transcoder available for Linux, OS X, and Windows, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2 (TODO: license link).
-
-
Everyone can use HandBrake to make videos for free.
-
-
What HandBrake does
-
-
HandBrake takes videos you already have and makes new ones that work on your mobile phone, tablet, TV media player, game console, computer, or web browser—nearly anything that supports modern video formats.
-
-
HandBrake works with most common video files and formats, including ones created by consumer and professional video cameras, mobile devices such as phones and tablets, game and computer screen recordings, and DVD and Blu-ray discs. HandBrake leverages tools such as Libav, x264, and x265 to create new MP4 or MKV video files from these Sources.
-
-
HandBrake does:
-
-
-
Convert nearly any video to MP4 or MKV
-
Crop and resize video
-
Restore old and low-quality video
-
Remove combing artifacts caused by interlacing and telecine
-
Pass-through audio without conversion for certain audio types
-
Downmix discrete surround sound to matrixed surround or stereo
-
Adjust audio volume levels, and dynamic range for certain audio types
-
Preserve existing subtitles, and add or remove soft subtitles (subtitles stored as text)
-
-
-
-
HandBrake can also make videos that are smaller—taking up less storage space on your device—than the originals.
-
-
What HandBrake does not do
-
-
HandBrake does not:
-
-
-
Combine multiple video clips into one
-
Pass-through video without conversion (video is always converted)
-
Create Blu-ray, AVCHD, or DVD discs
-
Make cocktails (yet)
-
-
-
-
HandBrake also does not defeat or circumvent copy protection of any kind. It does not work with video files employing Digital Rights Management (DRM). This includes but is not limited to, copy protected content from iTunes, Amazon Video, Netflix, or other online providers, and many commercial DVD and Blu-ray discs.
-
-
Applications such as AnyDVD HD for Windows and MakeMKV (TODO: link) for Linux, OS X, and Windows create DRM-free copies of DVD and Blu-ray discs that HandBrake can open; however, the HandBrake Team has no affiliation with these third parties and as such can neither recommend nor support these applications or their usage.
-
-
Do not use HandBrake to copy materials you do not own or have the right to copy. If you are uncertain about your right to copy any material, you should contact your legal advisor.
HandBrake takes videos you already have and makes new ones that work on your mobile phone, tablet, TV media player, game console, computer, or web browser—nearly anything that supports modern video formats.
-
-
This quick start guide assumes you have already downloaded and installed HandBrake. If you do not already have HandBrake, please see Downloading and installing HandBrake.
-
-
Let’s get started.
-
-
Launch HandBrake
-
-
Typically, you can launch HandBrake by quickly clicking twice (double-clicking) on the cocktail & pineapple icon.
-
-
-
-
Read about the icon and more at HandBrake lore (TODO: link).
-
-
Open your original video
-
-
HandBrake calls the video you already have the Source.
-
-
Drag your Source video onto HandBrake to open it. You may also select the Open Source button on the toolbar and browse for it.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Select a title
-
-
Some types of Sources contain more than one video clip, or a collection of Titles. Use HandBrake’s Title control to select which video clip you want to use. Many Sources have only one Title.
-
-
-
-
Select a preset
-
-
HandBrake provides a number of settings Presets to make your new video work well with your playback devices and software. For instance, if you have a third generation Apple TV, you may wish to select the AppleTV 3 preset. The default Normal preset is fast and relatively compatible.
-
-
-
-
Presets can affect compatibility (whether your video will work with your devices and software) and encoding time. Learn more: Selecting a preset
-
-
Select a destination
-
-
Destination is where your new video will go. You can select the Browse... button to choose a new location and name, or type it directly in the box.
-
-
-
-
Please take special care to note your destination. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find your new video. You can move it later if you desire.
-
-
Start the encode
-
-
Select the Start button on the toolbar to make your new video.
-
-
-
-
-
-
HandBrake will report its progress while it’s working and alert you when it’s finished. Then you will have a new video file at the Destination you specified.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Congratulations! You just encoded your first video using HandBrake. It’s now ready to watch on your devices.
-
-
Next steps
-
-
If you didn’t get a video file as expected, encountered an error, or had some other trouble, you can continue reading to learn more about how HandBrake works or jump right to Getting help.
One of HandBrake’s strengths is its ability to open a wide variety of video formats. HandBrake uses Libav under the hood and generally can open whatever Libav will, in addition to disc-based formats like DVD and Blu-ray.
-
-
Note: HandBrake does not defeat or circumvent copy protection of any kind. It does not work with video files employing Digital Rights Management (DRM). See About HandBrake for more information about what HandBrake does and does not.
-
-
Videos made by mobile phones, tablets, and many video cameras and DSLRs
-
-
Typically, each video will be a single file that you can copy to your computer, and later open using HandBrake. Common video file types are MP4 or M4V, MOV, MPG or MPEG, and AVI.
-
-
Some cameras store multiple videos in a folder structure with a playlist similar to Blu-ray discs, specifically cameras that record in AVCHD or AVCHD Lite. HandBrake may be able to open individual video files from the Stream folder inside the BDMV folder. In some cases this is not reliable, e.g. where a single video stream spans multiple files.
-
-
Screen and game recordings, web videos, video editing projects, and other computer-related sources
-
-
Some screen recording softwares can export or record directly to video files HandBrake can open. Common video file types are MP4 or M4V, MKV, MPG or MPEG, AVI, and WMV.
-
-
HandBrake can open web videos in FLV, WEBM, MP4, and many other formats.
-
-
Videos made using consumer video editing software such as iMovie must first be exported to a common video format for compatibility with HandBrake.
-
-
Professional video production formats
-
-
HandBrake can open a number of production formats produced by professional video cameras and NLEs, including ProRes and DNxHD.
-
-
DVD, Blu-ray, AVCHD/AVCHD Lite1, and HD-DVD2 discs or disc backups
-
-
HandBrake can directly open DVD and Blu-ray discs. In most situations it is better to first copy the contents to your computer’s hard drive3. Common folders are VIDEO_TS and BDMV. Common video file types are VOB, EVO, and MTS or M2TS.
-
-
Certain third-party disc copy tools such as MakeMKV (TODO: link) commonly make… wait for it… MKV video files. Other tools create ISO (sometimes labeled CDR) images of DVD and Blu-ray discs. HandBrake usually can open these directly.
-
-
BIN+CUE, MDF+MDS, and Toast images must first be mounted. Open the image using your operating system or appropriate software, and then open the virtual disc with HandBrake.
-
-
Broadcast TV recordings
-
-
HandBrake can open common video file types produced by TV recording hardware and software such as TS/MTS/M2TS, MP4 or M4V, and MPG or MPEG.
-
-
Recordings made by TV-to-DVD recorders are generally supported, but do note that some recorders are known for poorly making discs. Some discs may not work due to mastering errors.
-
-
Digital recordings of VHS, Beta, Video8/Hi8, LaserDisc, and other analog sources
-
-
First convert your analog video to digital using a computer-based hardware recording device such as the Blackmagic Design Intensity. It is important to choose a recording device and software that allows recording to or exporting to common video formats. HandBrake can open many common video files produced by recording software, including but not limited to TS/MTS/M2TS, MP4 or M4V, MOV, MKV, MPG or MPEG, and AVI.
-
-
-
-
-
AVCHD and AVCHD Lite playlists are not fully supported. Individual files/streams may work.↩
-
-
HD-DVD playlists are not fully supported. Individual files/streams may work.↩
-
-
Without special software, it is not possible to directly copy VIDEO_TS and BDMV folders from copy-protected discs.↩
English Docs > HandBrake Latest > Adjusting quality
-
-
Adjusting quality
-
-
HandBrake’s default settings and built-in Presets use a constant quality encoding method. This makes your new video look consistent from start to finish. Always use constant quality unless you have a specific reason not to.
-
-
You can use the default setting for the Preset you selected, or adjust the quality control higher or lower depending on your tastes. Increasing quality will make your new video take up more space on your computer or playback device, whereas reducing quality will typically make your new video take up less space.
-
-
Using the quality control
-
-
Most of HandBrake’s built-in Presets use the x264 video encoder and a constant quality value of RF 20. A lower RF number means higher quality.
-
-
To increase video quality, adjust the quality control toward the right. To reduce video quality, adjust the quality control toward the left.
-
-
-
-
Begin by making small adjustments (plus or minus 1-2 RF is usually noticeable).
Lower quality settings may be used to produce smaller video files or for web videos where bandwidth is a concern. Drastically lower settings may show significant loss of detail.
-
-
Using higher than recommended quality settings (exceeding RF 18 or so) can lead to extremely large files that may not be compatible with your devices. When in doubt, stick to the recommended range or use the default setting for the Preset you selected.
-
-
Display size and viewing distance
-
-
Imperfections tend to be more noticeable at larger display sizes and closer viewing distances. This is especially true for lower resolution videos (less than 720p), which are typically scaled or “blown up” to fill your display, magnifying even minor imperfections in quality.
-
-
You may wish to slightly increase quality for viewing on larger displays (50 inches / 125 cm diagonal or greater), or where viewing from closer than average distances4. Reduced quality may be acceptable for viewing on smaller screens or where storage space is limited, e.g. mobile devices.
SD video has a resolution of 720x480 or fewer pixels. DVDs, small web videos, and most analog sources are SD.↩
-
-
720p HD video has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. With three times the resolution of SD, and about half that of 1080p HD, 720p HD is commonly used by consumer video cameras, web videos, and broadcast TV sports.↩
-
-
1080p HD video has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels—twice the resolution of 720p and six times the resolution of 480p. 1080p HD video is commonly used by mobile phones and tablets, consumer and professional video cameras, and Blu-ray.↩
In HandBrake terms, the original video you already have is called the Source. One of HandBrake’s strengths is its ability to open Sources in a wide variety of video formats, including but not limited to:
-
-
-
Videos made by mobile phones, tablets, and many video cameras and DSLRs
-
Screen and game recordings, web videos, video editing projects1, and other computer-related sources
-
Professional video production formats including ProRes and DNxHD
-
DVD, Blu-ray, AVCHD/AVCHD Lite2, and HD-DVD3 discs or disc backups
-
Broadcast TV recordings
-
Digital recordings of VHS, Beta, Video8/Hi8, LaserDisc, and other analog sources
Note: HandBrake does not defeat or circumvent copy protection of any kind. It does not work with video files employing Digital Rights Management (DRM). See About HandBrake for more information about what HandBrake does and does not.

-
Previewing your settings
-
-
Video encoding requires a lot of computer resources and can take awhile to complete. Exactly how long depends on a number of factors, including the duration, resolution, and complexity of your Source, and the settings for making your new video.
-
-
Luckily, HandBrake has a Preview feature that allows you to do a test run on a few seconds or minutes of your Source, so you can see what your new video will look like without waiting for a complete encode to finish.
-
-
Opening the Preview window
-
-
At the top of HandBrake’s main window, you’ll see a toolbar with various buttons.
-
-
-
-
Select the Preview button to open the Preview window.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Adjusting Preview settings
-
-
Move your mouse cursor over the Preview window, and some controls will appear.
-
-
-
-
Set the starting position by dragging the Position control left or right. Choose how many seconds of video you want to encode using the Duration control. Longer durations will take more time to encode.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Starting a Preview encode
-
-
When you’re satisfied with your starting position and duration, select Live Preview and be patient. HandBrake will report its progress while it works. When your Preview is ready, it will play automatically. You can use the playback controls to pause, rewind, and replay your Preview.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Finishing up
-
-
To create a new Preview, select the Still Previews button to start over. When you’re finished previewing your work, you may close the Preview window.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Next steps
-
-
If the Preview you created was lacking in quality or otherwise not as expected, you may need to adjust quality or select a different Preset, after which you can create another Preview to see any changes.

Selecting a preset
-
-
Presets, presets, presets.
-
-
Selecting a Preset can go a long way toward ensuring your video works where you want it to. A Preset is a group of settings specifically tailored for the software or device you want your videos to play on.
-
-
Built-in presets
-
-
HandBrake includes a number of built-in Presets for various devices and general use.
-
-
-
-
Once you’ve opened a Source, select the Preset that most closely describes the device you want your videos to work on. For instance, if you want to play your videos on an iPad, choose the iPad Preset.
-
-
-
-
If your device is not listed, or you wish to play your videos on a computer, choose the Normal Preset or High Profile Preset. The Normal Preset is fast and compatible across a wide range of softwares and devices. The High Profile Preset makes better quality videos that take up less space, leaving room for a second audio track in surround sound.
-
-
Custom presets
-
-
If you’ve previously saved one of your own Presets, you may select it in the same way as the built-in Presets. Learn more about Custom presets (TODO: link).
