## HandBrake 1.4.0

### All platforms

#### General
- The HandBrake engine is now 10 and 12bit capable. Please note that not all filters support 10 and 12 bits. Using an 8bit filter will cause the pipeline to run at 8bit. Please see the documentation for more information.
- HDR10 metadata will be passed through from the source file if present. 
- Static Previews that are generated during file scans are now stored in compressed jpeg format (previously stored as YUV420).  Temporary disk space usage and disk writes are massively reduced. This uses libjpeg-turbo

#### Filters
- New Filter: Chroma Smooth
- New Filter: Colourspace Selection. 
- New Filter: Support for QuickSync hardware accelerated Crop/Scale when using full path.

#### Hardware Encoding

- New Encoder: Media Foundation
  - For Windows based ARM64 devices powered by Qualcomm Chipsets. 
- Updates to the AMD VCN encoder:
  - Quality tuning for VCN's constrained vbr rate control mode. Results are the same or better than cqp mode, and bit rate is much more predictable.
  - Included optimised H265 presets for 1080p and 4K content.
- Updates to the Intel QuickSync encoder:
  - Minor performance improvement by skipping VFR and Crop/Scale filters when they are not required. 
  - Overhauled memory management including improved zero-copy support where software filters are not used which should also improve performance. 

#### Audio
- MP2 Audio Passthru support.

#### Subtitles
- New General purpose subtitle decoder
  - Added support for DVB Subtitles (Passthru and Burn-In)
  - Added support for EIA608 Closed Captions.
  - Replaced current decoders for PGS, SRT and SSA  with those in ffmpeg. This should correct a number of rendering issues on Burn-In
- Reduced default CC burn-in font-size.

#### Third-party libraries
- The following 3rd party libraries have changed:
  - ffmpeg 4.4
  - AMF 1.4.18 (AMD VCN encoding)
  - nv-codec-headers 11.0.10.1 (Nvidia NVENC encoding)
  - libmfx 1.34
  - freetype 2.10.4
  - fribidi 1.0.10
  - harfbuzz 2.8.1

The app will still run on Windows 7 and 8.1 however you will receive a message noting that it is not supported (twice) after which it will continue to run. Please note some functionality may not work correctly on these older operating systems and no support will be provided.
- Process Isolation
  - When enabled, any encodes that are started are run under a separate "handbrake.worker.exe" process. 
  - This protects the main UI from any crashes that could occur whilst processing a file and allows the queue to continue.
  - Multiple jobs can be run simultaneously to improve CPU utilisation on high core count systems.
- Audio Tab
  - Minor improvement to the usability of auto-passthru. To prevent confusion, the "auto-passhtru" audio "encoder" option is now only available on the defaults screen and not the main audio tab.

  - Windows only
  - Suitable only for slower machines so disabled in preferences by default
- Choice of scalers
  - Lanczos
    - HandBrake's default scaler
  - Bicubic (OpenCL) (experimental)
    - Available on the Command Line Interface (all platforms) and Windows GUI (Mac / Linux GUIs will come in a later release)
    - Currently only available in OpenCL form so requires an AMD or Intel GPU supporting OpenCL 1.1 or later; Nvidia GPUs are not currently supported
    - When downscaling, up to 5% performance improvement can be achieved; no benefit when not downscaling
    - Small loss in quality over the Lanczos scaler
- Denoise
  - hqdn3d filter now accepts individual settings for each chroma channel (Cb, Cr)
  - New NlMeans denoiser, very slow, but results are significantly better than hqdn3d

- The LibAV AAC encoder is now the default as FAAC has been remove
  - This encoder is adequate for most, but until it improves a bit further, we have enabled support for the FDK-AAC encoder also
    - This FDK option is a temporary measure until the LibAV encoder improves
    - Note that FDK-AAC is much slower and will likely bottleneck the encode process, but will produce better quality audio
- H.265 encoder
  - Now available through x265 1.4
  - While this encoder is still fairly new, we have seen some promising results come out of it; it's still under heavy active development and is only going to improve over time
- Added VP8 Encoder (using libvpx)

### A special note on the new presets (they're collapsible-triangle-folder-thing-errific!)

- Deux Six Quatre, Blind, Broke, and Bedlam are gone. They were dead weight.
- iPod Low-Rez is now iPod Classic & iPod Nano
- iPod High-Rez is now iPod Legacy
- iPhone / iPod Touch is now iPhone & iPod Touch, so take care CLI users
- Animation and Television now use the decomb and detelecine (VFR) filters
- High Profile presets now use psy-trellis and the new subme 9 mode with B-frame RD refinement
- AppleTV is now CRF, so sizes will vary with content
- PS3 preset should be fixed
- Constant Quality Rate still needs its quality % lowered, probably

The keen reader is already asking "iPod Legacy? WTF is iPod High-Rez called iPod Legacy now?"

The answer is Universal.

The Universal preset is designed to play on all modern iPods (anything newer than the iPod 5.5G). It also plays on iPhones. It also plays on AppleTVs. It should also play just about anywhere else, hence the name. It is full anamorphic DVD resolution--no tricks with downscaling like stuff from the iTunes Store. It includes chapters, and has the first audio track in both AAC (DPL2 downmixed) and AC3 pass-thru, just like the AppleTV preset. In fact, it should give the same quality as the AppleTV preset, but faster...and at a larger file size. Like the AppleTV preset, it used CRF, so sizes will vary.

## HandBrake 0.9.3 Snapshot 3 (SVN revision 1797)

### Core Library

- Universal input support, utilizing libavcodec from the FFmpeg project for decoding non-MPEG-2 video
- Newer, faster, better version of the x264 codec, including psychovisual optimizations
- Better AV sync through full compliance with the MPEG Standard Target Decoder timing model
- More accurate auto-cropping
- Support for New Zealand and Norwegian HDTV broadcasts (H.264 and AAC-LATM in MPEG-TS)
- Detelecine is now "VFR detelecine" by default, dropping some frames and extending others to make up lost time, old behavior of keeping duplicate frames is enabled by selecting a framerate besides "Same as source"
- Threaded deinterlacing in Slow and Slower modes
- Threaded and entirely rewritten decomb filter
- Better audio resampling interpolator
- Better gamma in QuickTime through the use of the COLR MP4 atom
- Better constant quality encoding when using FFmpeg
- Hopefully better cache and virtual memory performance by recycling buffers that were most recently used instead of least
- Fix for MP4s with "negative duration" errors.
- Set the detelecine filter to work better with PAL by using "loose" breaks
- Fix for missing initial H.264 NAL units, improves reliability of 8x8dct
- Fix for subtitle-scan with XviD encoding
- Fix for crash at the end of 2nd pass using x264
- Deblock filter works now
- Rewritten update system, so the core library can read a portion of Sparkle appcasts.
- Updates for libsamplerate, libogg, xvidcore, libtheora, libmpeg2, lame, faac, and of course ffmpeg and x264.

### Mac GUI

- Entirely rewritten and far more flexible queue that can be saved between sessions, capable of preserving queued items after a crash
- Now requires vlc 0.9.xx to read protected dvd's in the users /Applications folder
- Fix for 4x3 loose anamorphic to keep it from downscaling
- Countless other improvements

### Windows GUI

- Resolution calculation
- Better preset bar
- Better queue (including queue recovery feature)

### Linux GUI (GTK)

- It's alive!

### Known Issues in Snapshot 3

- Possibility of a flickering line at the top or bottom of the frame after Slow or Slower deinterlacing or decombing
- Input bitrate display may be off by a factor of 100 for H.264-in-TS sources
- Constant Quality Rate preset probably needs a lower quality level (60% - 55%)
- With non-DVD sources that don't have AC3 audio, you can't encode 1 input audio track to multiple output audio tracks
- Slow and Slower deinterlacing and decombing are BROKEN in Windows
- QuickTime won't read Xvid-in-MP4 output, although VLC will
- Windows GUI does not detect all audio tracks from non-DVD sources

## HandBrake 0.9.3 Snapshot 2 (SVN revision 1477)

### Core Library

- Decomb filter (selectively deinterlaces when it sees interlacing in the frame)
- Filter bug fixed, that would skip any filters after detelecine, if VFR wasn't enabled
- Loose anamorphic + FFmpeg video bug fixed

### Windows GUI

- Title dropdown list bug fixed
- Missing log file bug fixed

### CLI
