### Video Options
-e, --encoder <string>
Set video library encoder Options: x264 / ffmpeg4 / ffmpeg2 / theora (default:
ffmpeg4)

--x264-preset <string>
When using x264, selects the x264 preset:

ultrafast / superfast / veryfast / faster / fast / medium / slow / slower /
veryslow / placebo

--x264-tune <string>
When using x264, selects the x264 tuning:

film / animation / grain / stillimage / psnr / ssim / fastdecode / zerolatency

-x, --encopts <string>
Specify advanced encoder options in the same style as mencoder (x264 and ffmpeg
only): option1=value1:option2=value2

--x264-profile <string>
When using x264, ensures compliance with the specified h.264 profile:

baseline / main / high / high10 / high422 / high444

-q, --quality <number>
Set video quality

-b, --vb <kb/s>
Set video bitrate (default: 1000)

-2, --two-pass
Use two-pass mode

-T, --turbo
When using 2-pass use the turbo options on the first pass to improve speed (only
works with x264, affects PSNR by about 0.05dB, and increases first pass speed two
to four times)

-r, --rate
Set video framerate (5 / 10 / 12 / 15 / 23.976 / 24 / 25 / 29.97 / 30 / 50 / 59.94
/ 60) Be aware that not specifying a framerate lets HandBrake preserve a source's
time stamps, potentially creating variable framerate video

--vfr, --cfr, --pfr
Select variable, constant or peak-limited frame rate control. VFR preserves the
source timing. CFR makes the output constant rate at the rate given by the -r flag
(or the source's average rate if no -r is given). PFR doesn't allow the rate to go
over the rate specified with the -r flag but won't change the source timing if it's
below that rate. If none of these flags are given, the default is --cfr when -r is
given and --vfr otherwise

### Audio Options
-a, --audio <string>
Select audio track(s), separated by commas ("none" for no audio, "1,2,3" for
multiple tracks, default: first one). Multiple output tracks can be used for one
input.

faac
ffaac
copy:aac
ffac3
copy:ac3

supported passthrough audio type. Separated by commas for more than one audio
track. (default: faac for mp4, lame for mkv)

--audio-copy-mask <string>
Set audio codecs that are permitted when the "copy" audio encoder option is
specified (aac/ac3/dts/dtshd/mp3, default: all). Separated by commas for multiple
allowed options.

--audio-fallback <string>
Set audio codec to use when it is not possible to copy an audio track without
re-encoding.

-B, --ab <kb/s>
Set audio bitrate(s) (default: depends on the selected codec, mixdown and
samplerate) Separated by commas for more than one audio track.

Set audio quality metric (default: depends on the selected codec) Separated by
commas for more than one audio track.

Set audio compression metric (default: depends on the selected codec) Separated by
commas for more than one audio track.

-6, --mixdown <string>
Format(s) for surround sound downmixing Separated by commas for more than one audio
track. (mono/stereo/dpl1/dpl2/6ch, default: up to 6ch for ac3, up to dpl2 for
other encoders)

-R, --arate
Set audio samplerate(s) (22.05/24/32/44.1/48 kHz) Separated by commas for more than
one audio track.

-D, --drc <float>
Apply extra dynamic range compression to the audio, making soft sounds louder.
Range is 1.0 to 4.0 (too loud), with 1.5 - 2.5 being a useful range. Separated by
commas for more than one audio track.

--gain <float>
Amplify or attenuate audio before encoding. Does NOT work with audio passthru
(copy). Values are in dB. Negative values attenuate, positive values amplify. A 1
dB difference is barely audible.

-A, --aname <string>
Audio track name(s), Separated by commas for more than one audio track.

### Picture Settings
-w, --width <number>
Set picture width

-l, --height <number>
Set picture height

--crop <T:B:L:R>
Set cropping values (default: autocrop)

--loose-crop <#>
Always crop to a multiple of the modulus Specifies the maximum number of extra
pixels which may be cropped (default: 15)

-Y, --maxHeight <#>
Set maximum height

-X, --maxWidth <#>
Set maximum width

--strict-anamorphic
Store pixel aspect ratio in video stream

--loose-anamorphic
Store pixel aspect ratio with specified width

--keep-display-aspect
Preserve the source's display aspect ratio when using custom anamorphic

--pixel-aspect <PARX:PARY>
Set a custom pixel aspect for custom anamorphic (--display-width and --pixel-aspect
are mutually exclusive and the former will override the latter)

--itu-par
Use wider, ITU pixel aspect values for loose and custom anamorphic, useful with
underscanned sources

--modulus
Set the number you want the scaled pixel dimensions

<number>
to divide cleanly by. Does not affect strict anamorphic mode, which is always mod 2
(default: 16)

-M --color-matrix <601 or 709>
Set the color space signaled by the output (Bt.601 is mostly for SD content, Bt.709
for HD, default: set by resolution)

### Subtitle Options
-s, --subtitle <string>
Select subtitle track(s), separated by commas More than one output track can be
used for one input. Example: "1,2,3" for multiple tracks. A special track name
"scan" adds an extra 1st pass. This extra pass scans subtitles matching the
language of the first audio or the language selected by --native-language. The one
that's only used 10 percent of the time or less is selected. This should locate
subtitles for short foreign language segments. Best used in conjunction with
--subtitle-forced.

-F, --subtitle-forced <string>
Only display subtitles from the selected stream if the subtitle has the forced flag
set. The values in "string" are indexes into the subtitle list specified with
'--subtitle'. Separated by commas for more than one subtitle track. Example:
"1,2,3" for multiple tracks. If "string" is omitted, the first track is forced.

--subtitle-burned <number>
"Burn" the selected subtitle into the video track If "number" is omitted, the first
track is burned. "number" is an index into the subtitle list specified with
'--subtitle'.

--subtitle-default <number>
Flag the selected subtitle as the default subtitle to be displayed upon playback.
Setting no default means no subtitle will be automatically displayed If "number" is
omitted, the first track is default. "number" is an index into the subtitle list
specified with '--subtitle'.

-N, --native-language <string>
Specifiy your language preference. When the first audio track does not match your
native language then select the first subtitle that does. When used in conjunction
with --native-dub the audio track is changed in preference to subtitles. Provide
the language's iso639-2 code (fre, eng, spa, dut, et cetera)

--native-dub
Used in conjunction with --native-language requests that if no audio tracks are
selected the default selected audio track will be the first one that matches the
--native-language. If there are no matching audio tracks then the first matching
subtitle track is used instead.

--srt-file <string> SubRip SRT filename(s), separated by commas.

--srt-codeset <string>
Character codeset(s) that the SRT file(s) are encoded in, separted by commas. Use
'iconv -l' for a list of valid codesets. If not specified latin1 is assumed

--srt-offset <string>
Offset in milli-seconds to apply to the SRT file(s) separted by commas. If not
specified zero is assumed. Offsets may be negative.

--srt-lang <string>
Language as an iso639-2 code fra, eng, spa et cetera) for the SRT file(s) separated
by commas. If not specified then 'und' is used.

--srt-default <number>
Flag the selected srt as the default subtitle to be displayed upon playback.
Setting no default means no subtitle will be automatically displayed If "number" is
omitted, the first srt is default. "number" is an 1 based index into the srt-file
list
