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.
