Same answer I gave you on reddit:
Hosting solves none of the problem, they'll still be sued by any authors of GPL code in HB where the project/people are, not where the hosting is.
Compile instructions are available for all platforms. It's a bit more than a script, but you could write a script for your environment.

Nope. It's not practical. Even compiling from source is sufficiently difficult it's beyond the vast majority of users.

As mduell says. It's nothing to do with where it's hosted.
Violating peoples copyright will burn bridges with the very projects we work closely with. If we lose those ties, then HandBrake loses out too. Bugs won't get fixed. We won't be able to contribute new features etc.
End of the day. It's gone and it's not coming back unless FDK change their license which doesn't look like will ever happen.
Oh, I assumed you meant a HandBrake-specific issue with x265 + 2-pass. If we are affected, then we'll get the fix when x265 fixes it and we update it in HandBrake.
Is this a statement or a question? If you have questions about VP9 support in HandBrake, try doing a forum search for "VP9". There has already been plenty of discussion on the topic.
I am posting on this thread since I am using 0.10.5 and hadn't noticed this problem earlier. If you think I should be on another thread just say so and I'll move it over there.
My problem is, I have been converting to "MP4" for some time and when I do, I like to include all of the audio tracks and all of the subtitle tracks (but I don't want any "burned in"), so I set it up that way and saved it as my default preset. In the past, I could just cycle through quickly, and add all the videos on a particular DVD to the queue without having to look at anything. Just recently (possibly related to 0.10.5?) I am having some problems because Handbrake seems to always be checking a single subtitle to "burn in" after I load the DVD directory. Having to uncheck the "burn in" subtitle is a pain in the but and slows me down. Is my problem related to 0.10.5 or am I just being stupid and missing a setting? I did notice that if I set the container to "MK4" then my problem went away but I would prefer "MP4" (or "m4v") as my container.
It used to be you could only burn in vobsub in mp4,not passthru. That restriction wasn't removed from the GUI so it auto-selects burn in for the last added track. (The others would be dropped in older builds iirc).

I will also point out that you can also do this a bit easier by simply installing Handbrake (the release version), downloading the release source code to your Linux VM, compile the libhb and CLI against the release source with the --enable-fdk flag, and merely overwrite your existing hb.dll and HandBrakeCLI.exe with the ones you compiled on Linux. By doing it this way, you only have to do one compile.
After compiling 10.5 with --enable-fdk, will fdk become default for AAC or will it have to be selected on the command line?
Hey, Devs, just wanted to say thanks for persisting and adapting with all of these licensing issues and fixing things for us. HandBrake has really helped me, and my family, by helping us to digitize our own content, be it our family videos on CD (transcoded from old VHS) into streamable files, or other content that we own. Thanks for keeping on even with all of these AAC complaints you've received - I definitely appreciate it a lot, and I'm pretty sure lots of other people do as well.
What am I doing wrong? HandBrake is installed on my Win 10 computer and I select the source, but receive the following message when I click on Start- "scan a source and set up your job before starting an encode". There are no Title, Angle, chapters/seconds/frames, Through or Duration options and I designed the .swf file so no copyright issues apply. Arrrgghhh! How does one start to use HandBrake? I simply want to change the video format to mp4
