Can a compression be stopped and continued the next day?

Post by kpoviv7 »

Yesterday I compressed a video from 9gb to 800mb in low.
It took me 16 hours to compress that video.
I want to compress another video that weighs 30gb, but handbrake tells me that it will take more than two days. Is there a way to pause or stop the compression, turn on the pc the next day and continue?

It can be paused, but you can't close HandBrake. All you can do is put the computer to sleep instead of turning it off.
