Versie 1.6.0 van HandBrake is verschenen. Dit opensourceprogramma, dat beschikbaar is voor Windows, Linux en macOS, kan filmmateriaal omzetten naar bestanden met onder meer een h.264-, h265- of mpeg4-beeldindeling en een aac-, ac3-, mp3- of Ogg Vorbis-geluidsindeling. Er zijn presets aanwezig voor veelgebruikte apparatuur, zoals een iPad, AppleTV of Android-tablet en er kan ook met zaken als hoofdstukindeling en ondertiteling rekening gehouden worden. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
GeneralVideo
- Added AV1 video encoding
- Added high bit depth and color depth support to various encoders and filters
- Added 4K AV1 General, QSV (Hardware), and MKV (Matroska) presets
- Added 4K HEVC General presets and updated related presets to use similar encoder settings
- Revised Web presets and renamed to Creator, Email, and Social
- Removed VP8 presets
- The VP8 video encoder is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release
- Related, the Theora encoder is long deprecated and will be removed in a future release
- Miscellaneous other preset revisions
Filters
- Added SVT-AV1 (software) and Intel QSV AV1 (hardware) video encoders
