Metadata handling has also become more sophisticated, now preserving more details like creation date, cover art, and even location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a noticeable performance boost too, with fixes for excessive memory use during deep scans and improved handling of high-resolution frame metrics in the Framerate Shaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the video side, users now have more control over encoder color range, updated NVEnc CQ ranges, and fixes for VCN encoder presets. Audio work includes proper EAC3 + Atmos signaling in MP4, new options for track name passthrough control, and improved fallback behavior when no audio track is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hanbrake110-app.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hanbrake110-app-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"HandBrake 1.10 Video Transcoder\" class=\"wp-image-182069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hanbrake110-app-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hanbrake110-app-380x224.jpg 380w, https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hanbrake110-app-768x453.jpg 768w, https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/hanbrake110-app.jpg 1345w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">HandBrake 1.10 Video Transcoder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Subtitles benefit from native SubRip\/UTF-8 passthrough to MKV, plus a fix for potential crashes when burning bitmap subs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the hood, HandBrake 1.10 updates a host of third-party libraries\u2014ranging from FFmpeg 7.1.1 to the latest versions of x264, x265, and SVT-AV1\u2014ensuring both performance and codec compatibility remain top-notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Platform-specific improvements are also in the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Linux<\/strong> users get stability fixes for Opus\/Vorbis in WebM, hidden presets for unavailable hardware encoders, and an updated set of active translations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>macOS<\/strong> users can now take advantage of the VideoToolbox AV1 hardware decoder, a Metal-accelerated Render Sub filter, reduced CPU usage with hardware decoding, and better integration with Time Machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Windows<\/strong> sees new preferences for title range mode defaults and queue completion actions, DirectX-based AV1 decoding on ARM devices, optimizations for ARM64, and a handful of fresh translations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important heads-up<\/strong>: make sure there are no pending encodes in your queue, and back up any custom presets or preferences, as they might not work with the new release.
