   HandBrake 1.0.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   The HandBrake Team has released version 1.0.0 of its open-source video
   conversion program [1]HandBrake (after 13 years of development) with a
   number of new additions and improvements. The update completely
   overhauls the official presets with new general use presets for broad
   compatibility and Matroska (MKV) presets (including VP9 video with Opus
   audio), plus new device and web presets. (Official presets from
   HandBrake 0.10.x are still available under "Legacy;" any custom presets
   you may have previously created may not be compatible with newer
   versions.) It also improves the audio/video sync engine to better
   handle difficult sources, adds VP9 video encoding via libvpx and Opus
   audio encoding/decoding via libopus, improves subtitle rendering for
   some languages, adds new Decomb/Deinterlace filter settings and
   improved defaults, improves support for importing/exporting
   comma-separated (.csv) chapter markers, adds support for multiple
   source URLs for third-party downloads, and improves drag and drop
   support.

   Shortly after this release, Handbrake 1.0.1 was issued to fix a
   potential crash when using the subtitles burn feature on OS X systems
   prior to macOS 10.12 Sierra, resolve an issue with certain controls not
   updating when saving or loading a preset, and fix additional crashes.
