- New Help via the Help menu and Mac's Help Center

- libdvdcss library is now mandatory, replaces the need for VLC. A download link is provided in the download menu.

- Other things that I've already forgotten about
Batch Encode (Updated)
- VLC is no longer supported by HandBrake for decryption, libdvdcss library is now manditory. Link provided in the download menu.
- Added support to burn-in blu-ray PGS subtitles via HandBrakeCLI. BDSub2Sup has been deprecated in this version.
- MKVtoolnix chapter, sub and audio extract/muxing has been deprecated in this version. HandBrake and MakeMKV have got it handled.
- Encode 1 now includes a unique preset called MakeMKV that will create an MKV file from optical and folder sources using MakeMKV. The resulting MKV file will be used as the source for Encode Targets 2-4. Useful if you'd like an uncompressed MKV file that includes all audio and subtitle tracks.
- Added Alternate Language option. Useful for those who desire more language options. Also used as a fallback when Native Language is not available.
- Added! Default Audio Track Selection:
- Default Audio: sets the default audio track to the source's "default" audio track. Useful for films where the main audio differs from your native language. Like if the main audio is Japanese and you want English subtitles.
- Native Language: selects an audio track (if available) that matches the native language preference set in the workflow. If an audio track is not available in your native language, it will try to find one that matches the alternate language preference set in the workflow. If neither are available, it will fallback to the title's default audio track.
- Added! Additional Audio Track Selection:
Batch Encode will now include additional audio tracks if selected.- Native Language: Selects all audio tracks in your native language.
- Alternate Language: Selects all audio tracks in your alternate language.
- Native & Alternate: Selects all audio tracks in your native and alternate language.
- All Tracks: Selects all audio tracks audio available regardless of language.
- Mixdown: Will mixdown additional tracks to 2-channel DPL2 for a smaller file size. If disabled, any selected multi-channel tracks will be passed-through as AC3.
- Added! Burn-in Subtitle Track Selection:
The Burn-in option will burn-in subtitle tracks that match the language preference set in the action. Burned in subtitles are written on top of the image permanently.- None: Will not burn any subtitle track.
- Auto Detect: Burns in forced-only subtitles (if available) in your native language for short foreign language segments. Additionally, if the default audio track language is different from your native language, will burn in subtitles in your native language (if available).
- Forced Only (Native): Burns in forced-only subtitles (if available) in your native language.
- Native Language: Burns in subtitles in your native language (if available) regardless of the default audio track language.
- Added! Pass-thru Subtitle Track Selection:
The Pass-Thru option will pass-thru "text-based" subtitle tracks that match the language preference set in the action.- Native Language: Selects all audio tracks in your native language.
- Alternate Language: Selects all audio tracks in your alternate language.
- Native & Alternate: Selects all audio tracks in your native and alternate language.
- All Tracks: Selects all audio tracks audio available regardless of language.
