HandBrake 0.10.2 Version Released, Install in Ubuntu/Linux Mint via PPA

HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, DVD ripper, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. It is a versatile, easy-to-use tool for converting DVDs and other videos into H.264, MPEG-4, or OGG formatted media. It's particularly useful for making videos that are compatible with portable video devices such as the Apple iPod/iPhone.

Changelog:

• Choice of Scalers
  
  • Lanczos
    
    • This is currently Handbrake's default scaler and will remain so.
      
  • Bicubic (OpenCL) (Beta)
    
    • Available on the Command Line (All Platforms).
      
    • Currently only available in OpenCL form so requires a AMD or Intel GPU supporting OpenCL 1.1 or later. Nvidia GPU's are not currently supported.
      
    • When downscaling, up to 5% performance improvement can be achieved. No benefit when not downscaling.
      
    • Small loss in quality over the Lanczos scaler.
      

• Denoise
  
  • hqdn3d filter now accepts individual settings for both chroma channels (Cr, Cb)
    
  • New NlMeans? denoiser. This is very slow, but results are significantly better than hqdn3d.

• Updated Libraries
  
  • x264 r2479-dd79a61
    
  • Libav v10.1
    
  • libbluray 0.5.0
    

• Libavformat is now used for muxing instead of mp4v2 and libmkv
  
  • "Large File Size" checkbox has now bee removed for mp4, as the new muxer will transition to 64bit files automatically.
    
  • mpeg2dec has also been replaced in favour of using libav
    

• The LibAV AAC encoder is now the default as FAAC has been removed.
  
  • This encoder is adequate for most, but until it improves a bit further, we have enabled support for the FDK-AAC encoder also.
    
    • This FDK option is a temporary measure until the LibAV encoder improves.
      
    • Note that FDK-AAC is much slower and will likely bottleneck the encode process, but will produce better quality audio.
      

• H.265 encoder
  
  • is now available through x265 1.4. While this encoder is still fairly new, we have seen some promising results come out of it. It's still under heavy active development and is only going to improve over time!
    

• Added VP8 Encoder (using libvpx)
  
  • Available in MKV files only.
    

• Removed mcdeint deinterlace and decomb modes. This relied on the snow encoder in libav which has been was removed by upstream.
  

• Subtitle Improvements
  
  • Burn in of SRT and Closed Captions is now supported.

• Automatic audio and subtitle track selection behaviours which can be stored per preset.
• Improvements to Auto-Naming feature.
  
• Batch Add to queue by list selection.
  
• Basic support for return codes from the CLI. (0 = No Error, 1 = Cancelled, 2 = Invalid Input, 3 = Initialization error, 4 = Unknown Error")
• Russian and Czech Translations
  
• Bug fixes and Misc Improvements
