Can Handbrake Convert Audio Files? A Complete Guide

Although this does not provide you with a separate audio track right away, you can use some other software to later extract the audio stream.

2. Changing Audio Settings in a Video

HandBrake also assist you by changing the audio tracks in videos. For example, you may want to:

• Convert audio codecs (AC3 to AAC, etc.))

• Reduce Bitrates For Larger File Sizes

• Down-mix channels (ex 5.1 surround to stereo)

The process is:

• Load your video in HandBrake.

• Go to the Audio tab.

• Select your codec (for example, AAC), bitrate (for example, 64kbps), and mixdown (the only sensible option here is Stereo).

• Export the file with the edited sound.

This can be helpful if you're optimizing video files for playback on various devices.
