# HandBrake
[HandBrake](handbrake.md) is an open-source and multi-platform program that can compress video
files.
## Setup
Various ways to set up HandBrake can be found on
[their website](https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php).
## Usage
On [Windows](/wiki/windows.md) and Mac the program can be started by clicking the icon.
This way is also possible on [Linux based operating systems](/wiki/linux.md).
Additionally the command `ghb` can be called in the [Terminal](/wiki/linux/shell.md).
### Presets
Presets are used to store settings that specify the transcoding of video files.
#### Importing and Exporting Presets
Presets can be imported and exported from HandBrake by selecting `Presets`, `Actions` and then
`Import` or `Export`.
#### Simple 1080p AC-3 Encoding
The following is a preset that is a `.json` file which is used for the transcoding of movies to
1080p and AC-3 audio.
This can save some disc space.
