The first step is to select the source video or directory, either by browsing your local storage or by dragging the file or folder onto the screen.

The default preset and settings of Handbrake are within our recommended settings, but you may still tweak other settings before encoding your video to get your desired result.

Recommended video file format and quality settings for a balance of good quality and decent file size for upload:

Before you start encoding your video, you may also want to check the filename and the destination folder where the file will be saved. Click the Browse button to choose a different folder on your local storage.

To rename the file before saving, you may edit it directly through the Save As field.

Once you’re all set and satisfied with the settings, you may either start the process quickly by clicking the Start Encode button or click the Add to Queue button to place it in the queue and start working on another video.

If you choose to add it to the queue to work on another video, click the Open Source tab and upload your other video/s.

To view, manage, or remove the videos in the queue, click the Queue button, and it will open a pop-up with the list. To start encoding the whole queue, click any of the Start Queue buttons.

Once the encoding process has finished, you may find the saved videos in the destination folder, which you may then upload to your Uscreen store.
