HandBrake 1.1.2 Released Sunday, September 9, 2018 'A Fallacy of Software: If it works, and we don't change anything, it will keep working.' —Jessica Kerr The HandBrake Team is pleased to announce the release of HandBrake 1.1.2. This patch / bug fix release remedies issues reported with the 1.1.0-1.1.1 releases. If you happen to discover any reproducible bugs or issues, please tell us about them on our GitHub issue tracker. You can also get in touch on our IRC support channel.
I first discovered HandBrake when I used DVDs. A lot has changed since this video transcoder was released some ten years ago. DVDs are bargain bin cheap, supplanted by copy-protected Blu-Ray disks.
Upgrade Notice Before updating, please make sure there are no pending encodes in the Queue. If you are currently using HandBrake older than version 1.0.0, please also make note of any custom presets you have created, as they may not be compatible with newer versions. Iam using different software for editing and encoding to mkv. I actually hate default presets in Handbrake like peak framerate etc. But it become invaluable when encoding MKV files, that are created by merging two files together in mkvtoolnix.
Only GUI that is able to convert them propertly is Handbrake. Nor Vidcoder, which is based on handbrake nor avidemux and others that I tested didnt work properly. It is invaluable, when you capture TV something, GOP starts in commercial and finished when film already started. In avidemux I reencoding start of movie (x264) interlaced tff as rest of TV something is. Then I merge it in mkvtoolnix. Everything is fine. But problem begins when you try to reencode it to different format, like h265 or just recommpress it with different settings in h264) but Handbrake handles it perfectly (dont know about ffmpeg iam not familiar with command line but I believe ffmpeg will do it as well properly).
So it is for me invaluable software for this one special reason.Other software has problem with 1st part of video that was merged in mkvtoolnix to one video track and one audio track (But audio seems not to be affected). Sorry my english is bad, and I know it.
