A new version of HandbrakePM, the batch video conversion tool based on the famous HandBrake video converter, is now available:

v2.6 (02-may-2022)

Fix: files are now read correctly, even with a '/', ç or ü, etc. in the path or file name.

Update: HandBrakeCLI updated. Minimum macOS version is now 10.13.

Update: You can install HandBrakeCLI outside of the app, in /usr/local/bin/. This way you can always use its latest version.

Update: If HandBrake itself is not installed, the app reads the presets from an internal file.

Bug fix: the 'Auto-crop' button also [en|dis]abled the 'Select folder' button.

There's now also a version for Windows 7 or higher!
