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 no 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.

The Linux version of HandBrake does not have a built-in update checking feature. Your Linux distribution's package manager will handle any updates to the official PPA.
