Handbrake crashing during encode - Fixed

Handbrake 1.0.0 has fixed many bugs in the lower versions. But it seems now that the job is not perfect remaining on Handbrake 1.0.0 craching issues. Many feedback unveiled that Handbrake 1.0.0 freezes and crashes when encoding:

"When ever I'm encoding a video the progress will get to a certain percentage then Handbrake 1.0.0 just closes, most of the logs I can find are incomplete because it didn't seem to finish making them when it crashed. Encode a complex visual and audio video with H.264 10-bit, profile: High 10 Level 5.2 RF -12 constant framerate same as source"

"Handbrake 1.0.1 closes itself several minutes into the encoding. This was fixed in the latest update, but it now seems to do it every time I try to start an encoding job. I have tried reinstalling Handbrake with no success"

"I'm running Windows 10 x86_64 - patched to date as of 09/01/2017 on an Intel i7 with 32gb of ram. I have experienced this problem handbrake crash encoding certain decrypted DVDswith the pre 1.0 nightly build, the current 1.0.1 build and the current nightly build. I have decrypted American Dad Season 10 DVD's with zero compression using DVDFab10. I attempted to encode these DVD's using the Apple 720 preset changing the tuning options to "animation". Starting the encode it will run between 10 - 60 seconds before crashing with "handbrake has stopped working" and crashing. "

Tips You can try to Fix Handbrake Crash Encoding

Workaround 1: Try lower bitrate settings when this occurs. The test sample causes the crash reproducibly using 512 kbps, but finishes encoding when using 256 kbps.

Workaround 2: HandBrake is very CPU intensive which may result in high CPU temperature. If you use Handbrake to batch convert videos when running many other progresses, it will come to crash.

Workaround 3: The problem is deep in the guts of the encoder and is going to take someone who is knowledgeable about the encoder to fix it. For normal people, we suggest you to switch to Handbrake Alternative until a patch is released.
