HandBrake, the open source video transcoder, in every build the HandBrake project publishes for Windows, macOS and Linux, with the Microsoft runtimes the Windows builds use and the HandBrake project's own manual, on one disc or drive.
HandBrake takes a video and writes a new copy of it in the format you choose. It reads nearly any source, from a phone recording to an unprotected DVD, and it writes MP4, MKV and many other formats. The encoders cover H.264, H.265, AV1, MPEG-4 and MPEG-2, and the graphics hardware is used when the machine has it, through Intel Quick Sync, NVIDIA NVENC, AMD VCN and Apple VideoToolbox. A library of presets sets the options for a phone, a tablet, a television or a named device, so the work is choosing the device rather than setting every control. Resizing, cropping, rotation, deinterlacing, several audio tracks, several subtitles, chapters and metadata are all handled in the same job, and a queue runs as many jobs as you like one after another.

This is the pair most people want.HandBrake-1.11.2-arm64-Win_GUI.exe, or HandBrake-1.11.2-arm64-Win_GUI.zip. Open Settings, then System, then About, and read System type if you are unsure.HandBrake-1.3.3-x86_64-Win_GUI.exe, or HandBrake-1.3.3-x86_64-Win_GUI.zip.HandBrakeCLI-1.11.2-win-x86_64.zip, or HandBrakeCLI-1.11.2-win-aarch64.zip on Arm64.HandBrake-1.11.2.dmg, which is right for an Intel Mac and for an Apple Silicon Mac. The command line build is HandBrakeCLI-1.11.2.dmg.HandBrake-1.11.2-x86_64.flatpak, or the source archive HandBrake-1.11.2-source.tar.bz2.The figures above are the ones the HandBrake project publishes on its own system requirements page for the current release.
If there is an issue with your order, contact us and we will make it right (including replacements for defective media).
Windows, macOS and Linux, with the correct build supplied for each, including Windows on Arm64 and a Mac image that carries both processor types in one file.
Ten builds in total. The current release covers Intel, AMD and Arm64 machines as an installer and as a portable folder, and HandBrake 1.3.3 covers Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1.
The Microsoft runtimes both Windows graphical builds use travel on the media, so a machine with no internet connection can still be set up.
The HandBrake project's own manual travels on the media as two sets of Markdown articles, readable on the computer with nothing to fetch afterwards.
Every installer, image, Flatpak and source archive here is the official release from the HandBrake project, taken from its own release pages.
HandBrake is open source under the GNU General Public License version 2, with no monthly fee, no product key and no expiry. The source archive is included as well.
This listing complies with eBay's software policy. This is a lawful compilation of redistributable software. No paid, commercial, or copyrighted software is included. Every program fits one of these categories:
The HandBrake name is used here to refer to HandBrake itself. This pack is an independent compilation and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the HandBrake project or with Microsoft. The software box shown in any product images is a display image only and is not included. You receive the media only.
eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program targets listings that infringe intellectual property. This listing does not fall into that category because HandBrake's license already authorizes the copying and redistribution being done here. Buyers receive only the rights the original license grants.
How is this item delivered?
This is a physical item (USB drive or DVD) that will be shipped to you. Choose your format when you order.
Which build should I install?
On Windows 10 or 11 with an Intel or AMD processor, use HandBrake-1.11.2-x86_64-Win_GUI.exe. On a Windows machine with an Arm64 processor, use HandBrake-1.11.2-arm64-Win_GUI.exe. On Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1, use HandBrake-1.3.3-x86_64-Win_GUI.exe. On a Mac, use HandBrake-1.11.2.dmg, which suits both processor types. On Linux, install HandBrake-1.11.2-x86_64.flatpak. The Read Me on the media repeats this list, and tells you how to check which machine you have.
Does the Windows version need anything installed first?
Yes. The graphical build uses a Microsoft runtime that is not part of Windows itself. For the current release, install the Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 10 from the Microsoft .NET Runtime folder on the media, choosing the Intel and AMD edition or the Arm64 edition. For HandBrake 1.3.3 on Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1, install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 from the same folder instead. A machine that already has the runtime can skip that step, and the installer will tell you. The command line build, HandBrakeCLI, needs neither of them.
Can it copy a protected commercial title?
HandBrake works with unprotected sources and with ordinary video files. The HandBrake project states that HandBrake does not defeat or circumvent copy protection, and it names many commercial DVD and Blu-ray titles among the sources it cannot read. Unprotected sources, your own recordings and video files are what it is for.
Is the manual included?
Yes. The HandBrake project's own manual travels on the media as two sets of Markdown articles, which open in any text editor with no internet connection.
Can it run without being installed?
On Windows it can. Each release has a .zip beside its installer, and that build runs from the folder it is unpacked into with no administrator rights. The .zip also carries a small setting file, portable.ini.template, and renaming it to portable.ini keeps settings, presets and logs beside the program instead of in your user folder, and turns the update check off. On Linux the Flatpak is the published package. On a Mac you drag the application into your Applications folder.
Does this software need a product key or activation?
No. HandBrake is open source released under the GNU General Public License version 2, so there is no product key, no activation step, no registration, and no account.
Where does HandBrake keep its settings?
In a folder of its own in your user directory, not in the program folder: AppData\Roaming\HandBrake on Windows, and the equivalent application support folder inside your home folder on a Mac and on Linux. The Windows .zip builds offer the portable setting described above instead.
Do I need to copy the pack to my computer first?
For DVD orders, copy the pack folder to your computer (for example, your Desktop) first, then run the installer from there. DVDs have much slower read speeds than USB drives, and a DVD install run directly from the disc will be slow.
