If you want command line, you can always use ffmpeg that is more powerful and HandBrake uses it underneath anyways. Quite honestly, HandBrake should be used as a GUI application. If you want to install the CLI version of Handbrake, simply use this command: sudo apt install handbrake-cli It will help you to remove PPA, if you ever need to uninstall HandBrake installed via the PPA. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases It’s better to uninstall any existing version of HandBrake beforehand. If you want to install the latest version of HandBrake on Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based distributions, you can use its official PPA. However, the software center might feature the older version. The output not as I expected.You can also use terminal for installing HandBrake with apt or apt-get command: sudo apt-get install handbrake I try to convert mkv to mp4 format using command: HandBrakeCLI -i video.mkv -o video.mp4 -e x264 -q 22 -r 15 -b 128 -B 32 -X 320 -Y 240Īnd it still failled.

On HandBrake wiki, there are many options offer. But the problem is I do not know how to set the output file I convert. And then I found HandBrake for converting video. I have VPS, so I think to use it to convert video that has a size more than 100MB. I know to convert big size video will take a time, and need computer with good specification for good performance. I usually use online tool to convert video less than 100MB and use desktop application AVS Video Converter for video more than 100MB. Another reason is because not everyone has good internet connection to download videos with big size for desktop version. I made it to help people who don't have a computer, or are not able to watch on the computer. I have FansConvert site that convert anime and movie into mobile device format, especially 3gp and mp4.
