Why Does Handbrake Install Demand Download .NET 6.0 Runtime?

Post by keepupquestions »

Hi. At https://odysee.com/@OdyseeHelp:b/upload ... da6ae4a1f4 you can see the Odysee video platform team recommends using Handbrake to encode video.

I downloaded Handbrake but then during install I get a “Download .NET 6.0 Runtime” activating a web browser to open at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down ... dotnetcore apparently for the download.

Why is this happening? Should I do it? Is it a spam risk? Seems odd the Odysee team didn’t mention downloading that too. I can’t seem to use Handbrake unless I “Download .NET 6.0 Runtime.”

Thank you.

Yes, HB requires .NET 6, which you can get from the very credible source of Microsoft.

Online guides on third party sites are often out of date, misguided, or both.
