Automatic File Naming
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
HandBrake can automatically name your output files for you based on a number of criteria.
|
|
|
|
If you open the programs Preferences screen, you'll see a section that referes to the "Output Files"
|
|
|
|
<!-- .system-macos -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- /.system-macos -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- .system-windows -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- /.system-windows -->
|
|
|
|
Here you can define the default path where output files will be stored, and the format the file name will take.
|
|
|
|
By default, it will be {source}-{title}
|
|
|
|
| Placeholder | Description | Windows| macOS | Linux |

### Source Name Handling.
|
|
|
|
Many sources have awkward names. (i.e all capitals). HandBrake offers a few options to correct this.
|
|
|
|
The following options will affect the source name:
|
|
|
|
- "Change to Title case", This is also known as camel case where the first letter of each word is a capital followed by lower case letters.
|
|
|
|
- "Replace underscores with a space" i.e "_" to " "
|
|
|
|
- "Remove common punctuation" i.e ( Dash - Period . Commas ,)
|
|
|
|
### MP4 File Extension Handling
|
|
|
|
The last option allows you to choose the MP4 file extension handling.
|
|
|
|
MP4 and M4V are identical files. It's just a different file extension.
|
|
|
|
For MP4 files, HandBrake will automatically use the extension M4V when you pass-through audio (AC3), use SRT subtitles or have chapter markers enabled.
|
|
|
|
You can simply change the file extension between .mp4 and .m4v as the file is exactly the same. There are no differences in the content or container itself.
