       | Been using Handbrake for years, fantastic easy to use software
       | and absolutely flies on the new M1/M1 Pro chips.

       | Handbrake is incredibly useful to me since I use many older
       | machines that don't have hardware (or even software) support of
       | modern codecs. I basically treat handbrake like an "unzip"
       | software to unzip the h265/av1/etc to a standard h264 with aac
       | audio. The file sizes really aren't that much different.

         | it's worth reposting every now and then.
