HandBrakeBatch overview

HandBrakeBatch is a fully independent application which uses HandBrake video converter under the hood, and allows you to drag & drop a bunch of files at the same time, and convert them using any of the default HandBrake presets. With version 2.0, I have added the most requested feature: support for multiple audio languages and subtitles.

The application is Charityware (if you find the application useful, please go ahead and donate! I have selected some charities, but feel free to suggest more and I will consider adding them) and licensed under GPL (as HandBrake is). The source is available on github.com, and the complete application is available here. A wiki is also available on github, with additional information (release notes, requested features, etc.). If you find problems, please send me a message or add an issue on github.

What's new in version 2.25

Version 2.25:
  • New: Updated HandBrakeCLI to version 0.10 to match the latest HandBrake
  • Fixed: Improved parsing of UserPresets; you should get less corruption warnings on valid preset files
  • Fixed: Fixed HandBrake native AppleTV presets; this should fix files that did not play in iTunes

Why is it that HandBrake can run on OS 10.6+ but HandBrake Batch needs at least 10.7? Hmmm.

Use this more then handbreak itself, its the missing drag and go solution. Needs an update for mavericks, crashes if you try to do more then 75 videos in a batch Overall a handbreak must have!

As some comments correctly point out, HandBrake has added batch support recently. More details on this post: http://www.osomac.com/2013/08/08/handbrake-adds-real-batch-processing/ Thank you all for the support! All the best, Cesare Tagliaferri (HBB's developer)
