The main HandBrake release includes a number of enhancements, beyond a better pineapple icon. Blu-ray subtitle support now works with foreign audio search, can be burned into video, and can be passed through to MKV files. Additional video framerates have been added for 30, 50, 59.94 and 60fps, and a double framerate mode for deinterlace/decomb is now supported. There is also improved audio remixing with more mixdown targets, upmixing to 5.1 and the ability to discard a channel, the ability to select higher or lower audio rates where appropriate, audio dithering for 16-bit FLAC, and the use of libavcodec for DTS audio decoding.
