HandBrake 1.10 Open-Source Video Transcoder Brings New “Social 10MB” Presets
Highlights of HandBrake 1.10 include new “Social 10MB” presets, a new option to choose the encoder color range, a new command-line option to disable Dolby Vision and HDR10+ passthru, a new option to disable audio track names passthru and autonaming, and a new option to disable subtitle track names passthru.
HandBrake 1.10 also improves metadata passthru to preserve additional metadata, including creation date, over art, and location, improves the performance of Framerate Shaper metrics for high resolution frames, properly signals EAC3 + Atmos in MP4, and improves support for SubRip/UTF-8 subtitles to be passed through to MKV without conversion to SSA.

Handbrake Video Converter Gets More Presets and Bug Fixes
HandBrake, everyone's favorite free and open-source video converter, just got a big update. In its first update in seven months, the latest Handbrake v1.10 for Windows, Mac, and Linux gets even better presets for Discord users, Linux-specific improvements, and a load of bug fixes.
The new update improved Handbrake's already excellent sharing presets, which makes it easy to preset a specific file size or type for encoding and sharing online. With the latest update to version 1.10, there's a new "Social 10MB" preset built with Discord users in mind.
The idea here is to allow for small, short, sharable videos that work with Discord's 10MB free user size limit. Handbrake says this is similar to the 25MB presets released in 2024. For example, you can easily convert clips of up to 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 2 minutes into a shareable 10MB file size limit. Here's what Handbrake had to say: "The slow x264 encoder preset helps squeeze a bit more quality out of these lower bit rates, making a small but noticeable improvement in edge artifacts, especially for complex objects surrounded by flat areas, e.g., a plane in the sky."
