Since their work was complementary, they began working together to develop an unstable, but still compilable, release of HandBrake supporting the H.264 format. In September 2006, Rodney Hester and Chris Long had been independently working to extract the H.264 video compression format from Apple's iPod firmware (1.2) through reverse engineering before meeting on the HandBrake forum. From May–June 2006, no one in the HandBrake community was successful in contacting Petit, and no further code changes were officially made. Petit continued to be active on the HandBrake forum for a brief period after. He continued to be the primary developer until April 2006, when the last official Subversion revision was committed. HandBrake was originally developed by Eric Petit in 2003 as software for BeOS, before porting it to other systems. HandBrake clients are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. These are collected in such a manner to make their use more effective and accessible (e.g., so that a user does not have to transcode a video's audio and visual components in separate steps, or with inaccessible command-line utilities). HandBrake's backend contains comparatively little original code the program is an integration of many third-party audio and video libraries, both codecs (such as FFmpeg, x264, and x265) and other components such as video deinterlacers (referred to as "filters"). It was originally developed in 2003 by Eric Petit to make ripping DVDs to a data storage device easier. HandBrake is a free and open-source transcoder for digital video files. GPL-2.0-only (Third-party components have their own licenses) If not, readjust your specs and preview again.English*, German*, French, Italian, Russian, others - *documentation available in the marked languages Click the Preview button and then Live Preview for 30 seconds to see if this is what you want.If you really do want it squished, then uncheck Automatic and change the display size (width) to be the same as your scaled size width.If you are trying to change the storage dimensions (Storage Aspect Ratio=SAR) but keep the display aspect (DAR) as it was, then keep Final Dimensions.Don't worry that the Pixel Aspect changes. Change Scaled Size to the desired dimensions width x height.With the video loaded, select your desired preset.Make sure you are using a recent version of HandBrake.Here's how to stretch a video any way you like: If this is not the case, be sure to match the proper numbers to the scaled dimensions (step 6 below). Also 640 x 1136 (w x h) indicates a vertical capture such as from a smart phone (portrait mode). This will change your aspect ratio and may make the output video look squished. In your description, you are upsizing (1080 -> 1136) and downsizing (708 -> 640).
