HandBrake, the free and open-source video converter and encoder, has released a new update. HandBrake 1.9 has improved support for Intel hardware, VP9 video, disc sources, and much more.
It also supports many of the newest codecs, and the linked article also mentions which codes are succeeding which ones in future.
It is also using the latest FFmpeg version 7.1.
If you don’t use FFmpeg on the command line, then HandBrake is pretty well much the go-to GUI alternative.
