![]() Quick Sync was added in November 2014 with version 0.10.0, while NVENC and the VCE became supported in version 1.2.0, released December 2018. ![]() It is less often used for transcoding like that performed by HandBrake because its compression efficiency can rarely match an optimized software encoder for the same codec, but HandBrake still provides the owners of compatible hardware (who are willing to accept the tradeoff) with the option of hardware encoding. This hardware is usually provided for scenarios where quick and power-efficient compressed video is desired, such as videoconferencing and streaming video. Some GPUs (including GPUs physically integrated with CPUs, referred to by AMD as APUs) contain dedicated hardware for video encoding and decoding ( Intel's Quick Sync Video, Nvidia's NVENC, or AMD's Video Coding Engine / Video Core Next). There is another transcoder, called VidCoder, that uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. On 24 December 2016 after more than 13 years of development, HandBrake 1.0.0 was released. The MediaFork website and forums were moved to HandBrake's, and the next release was officially named HandBrake. Plans were then made to reintegrate MediaFork as a direct successor to HandBrake. On 13 February 2007, Hester and Long were contacted by Petit who informed them of his support and encouraged them to continue development. Hester and Long named the new project MediaFork. Unable to submit their revisions as a successor to HandBrake, Hester created a subversion repository mirroring HandBrake's final subversion (0.7.1) on the HandBrake website and began development on top of that. Hester and Long made progress in terms of stability, functionality, and look and feel, but it was not possible to submit their patch to the HandBrake subversion repository without authorisation from Petit. Since their work was complementary, they began working together to develop an unstable, but still compileable, release of HandBrake supporting the H.264 format. ![]() In September 2006, Rodney Hester and Chris Long had been independently working to extract the H.264 video compression format from Apple's iPod firmware (1.2) through reverse engineering before meeting on the HandBrake forum. From May–June 2006, no one in the HandBrake community was successful in contacting Petit, and no further code changes were officially made. Petit continued to be active on the HandBrake forum for a brief period after. He continued to be the primary developer until April 2006, when the last official Subversion revision was committed. HandBrake was originally developed by Eric Petit in 2003 as software for BeOS, before porting it to other systems. HandBrake clients are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. These are collected in such a manner to make their use more effective and accessible (e.g., so that a user does not have to transcode a video's audio and visual components in separate steps, or with inaccessible command-line utilities). HandBrake's backend contains comparatively little original code the program is an integration of many third-party audio and video libraries, both codecs (such as FFmpeg, x264, and x265) and other components such as video deinterlacers (referred to as "filters"). It was originally developed in 2003 by Eric Petit to make ripping DVDs to a data storage device easier. HandBrake is a free and open-source transcoder for digital video files. GPL-2.0-only (Third-party components have their own licenses) Lastly, macOS 14 is getting some new functionality shared by iOS 17, including more powerful AI-powered predictive text, revamped stickers for chats, and more.English*, German*, French, Italian, Russian, others - *documentation available in the marked languages ![]() Web apps are also coming to macOS Sonoma, streamlining the process of using apps online - they can now integrate directly onto your desktop Dock with a click, and Safari notifications are also getting a facelift. New 'Profiles' in Safari will help to separate your personal and work accounts (or different people's accounts, if you're sharing your Mac device). The new Passkey feature will make sharing passwords easier, with end-to-end encryption to keep things secure. Security is a major feature, with private browsing mode now blocking URL trackers completely. Safari is getting a boost in macOS Sonoma too. There are new live reaction effects too, which are compatible with any video call app on macOS. ![]() You can present yourself in a movable bubble, or overlay yourself across your presentation fully with an AI-powered live cutout feature. MacOS Sonoma will also add a 'Presenter Overlay' to make things easier for video presentations. ![]()
