    I’m not sure what your comment is supposed to contribute. Should the developers stop developing the software? What changes do you expect?

      You don’t have to be combative, all I was saying is the gui doesn’t make much difference to me. It worked perfectly fine before and I’m sure it’ll keep working just as well as before.

      What would make a bigger difference is improvements to the backend seeing that it effects over 90% of the experience and usability of the app. I spend less time in the gui than I do renaming files in my file manager or even the make mkv app.

      I’ve already said that but I guess you didn’t read past the first line. I didn’t say give up on development I said who cares about a change in graphics toolkit.

        I agree with you that the gui toolkit is pretty uninteresting from the users pov, or at least mine. I do wonder if the multi-threaded transcoding pipeline changes in ffmpeg 7 will improve performance in handbrake at all. I’m not sure if Handbrake calls the ffmpeg cli or not.

          It’s annoying but you can do multiple transcodes at a time on everything but Linux. It’s only annoying because the complexity of h265 means it’s highly serialized compared to older codecs.

          I could easily handle multiple transcodes at a time on my 12 core processor with dvds but something like 4k blueray and sometimes hd blueray (depending on the complexity) saturates my processor. It doesn’t run transcodes in a separate process

          Did they add support in this version?
