Selecting a preset
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
A `Preset` is a group of settings specifically tailored for the software or device you want your videos to play on. Selecting a `Preset` can go a long way toward ensuring your video works where you want it to.
|
|
|
|
## Official presets
|
|
|
|
HandBrake includes a number of official `Presets` for specific devices and for 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 a Roku that supports 1080p High Definition, choose the `Roku 1080p30 Surround` preset under `Devices`. See the technical documentation for more information about [official presets](../technical/official-presets.html).

|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Linux figures. -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- /.system-linux -->
|
|
<!-- .system-macos -->
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- /.system-macos -->
|
|
<!-- .system-windows -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: Windows figures. -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- /.system-windows -->
|
|
|
|
If your device is not listed, or you wish to play your videos on a computer, the default `Fast 1080p30` preset is a good choice. It's fast and compatible across a wide range of software and devices.
|
|
|
|
## Custom presets
|
|
|
|
If you've previously saved one of your own `Presets`, you may select it in the same way as the official `Presets`.
|
|
|
|
You can learn more about [Custom presets](../advanced/custom-presets.html) in the advanced features section.
