There are several different modes HandBrake can operate in.
### Average Bitrate
HandBrake supports average bitrate for all audio encoders except FLAC.
### Quality based Encoding
Quality based encoding is supported for the following codecs:
- AAC
- MP3
- Vorbis
The scale of the quality if much less pronounced compared to the video quality slider, so changes do not have nearly as big an impact on file size.
### Lossless
HandBrake supports FLAC (both 16 and 24bit) when the output format is MKV.
In addition, HandBrake can passthru the following source audio track formats:
- AC3 and E-AC3
- DTS, DTS-HD
- TrueHD
- AAC
- MP3
- FLAC
