How to use HandBrake
HandBrake can be a really useful tool for compressing large files or re-encoding unsupported file formats.
For a full list of file types Panopto does support, please click here.
To install HandBrake, please visit http://handbrake.fr/
If you plan to encode more than one video at once, click Tools - Options - Output Files - select
"Automatically name output files" - choose a path then click Close
Click Source and choose either Open Folder (for more than one file) or Open File (for a single file). In this
example, we will choose Open Folder.
Select the folder containing your video files and click Select Folder (note: subfolders within this folder will
not be recognized)
Select High Profile
If the source resolution matches the Display Size, skip the next step
If it doesn't match (like in the above example), change Anamorphic to None - set the Width & Height to
match the source
Click Add To Queue
These steps need to be repeated on each file. To move on to the next file, click the dropdown next to Title
and choose the next video file
After all the video files have been properly configured and added to the queue, click start
Then batch upload the new m4v files to Panopto. Click here for instructions on batch upload
