Description
Handbrake Web is a self-hosted video transcoding solution that provides a web-based interface for managing and processing video encoding jobs using the powerful HandBrake video transcoder. The application features a distributed architecture with a central server for job management and dedicated workers for processing, allowing you to scale encoding capacity by adding more workers. The web interface enables you to upload videos, configure encoding presets, monitor job progress, and manage your transcoding queue from any browser. Handbrake Web supports all the encoding formats and options available in HandBrake, including H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, and AV1 codecs, as well as various container formats like MP4, MKV, and WebM. The worker-based architecture allows for parallel processing of multiple videos and can leverage hardware acceleration when available. Perfect for media enthusiasts who need to convert video collections to different formats, content creators preparing videos for multiple platforms, home server administrators managing media libraries, or anyone who needs a reliable self-hosted solution for batch video transcoding without installing desktop applications.
