After being in development for more than thirteen years, the open-source and cross-platform HandBrake video converter reached 1.0.0 milestone, and it can now finally be considered a mature application for editing video files.

Prominent features of HandBrake 1.0.0 include completely overhauled presets with new Matroska (MKV) and device presets, as well as a brand-new JSON-based preset system, improvements to the audio/video sync engine, VP9 video encoding by using the libvpx library, an Intel QuickSync Video H.265/HEVC encoder that requires Intel Skylake or newer CPUs.

There's also Ultra HD and 4K color pass-through support for BT.2020, a new automatic anamorphic mode that maximizes storage resolution, new Pad, NLMeans, and Decomb/Deinterlace filters, performance improvements to the x264 and x265 encoders, as well as high bit depth encoding, supporting 10-bit for x264 and both 10-bit and 12-bit for x265.
