Overview

What is HandBrake?

HandBrake is the reference open-source video transcoder, used for over twenty years to convert and compress videos into modern formats. It accepts virtually all existing input formats and produces optimized MP4, MKV, or WebM files.

HandBrake supports the latest codecs — H.264, H.265 (HEVC), AV1, VP9 — with optional hardware acceleration to drastically reduce processing times. Its queue engine allows you to convert entire batches of videos without intervention, ideal for standardizing a catalog or reducing the size of a media library.

Deployed by DINAO on a dedicated server in France, HandBrake becomes a sovereign encoding platform : your raw footage and media are processed on our servers, never passing through a third-party service, with presets prepared for your use cases.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

What formats does HandBrake support?

HandBrake reads most input video formats and encodes to MP4, MKV, or WebM with H.264, H.265 (HEVC), AV1, and VP9 codecs. Presets cover common use cases (web, mobile, archiving).

Are my videos confidential?

Yes. Your source and encoded files remain on the DINAO instance hosted in France. Nothing is uploaded to a third-party service, and automatic source purging can be enabled.

Can I convert multiple videos at once?

Yes. HandBrake manages queues: drop an entire batch via watch-folder or SFTP, and the server processes everything sequentially according to your presets.

Is encoding fast?

It depends on the chosen power level. Higher tiers add a GPU for hardware acceleration, significantly reducing encoding times, especially for AV1.

Do I need to be a video expert?

No. DINAO prepares presets tailored to your needs. You drop your files, you retrieve the converted versions. Advanced options remain available for experienced users.
