It didn’t when I last used it. But that was also years ago. The Handbrake devs were pretty adamant back then about not adding remuxing.
If you just want to remove audio and subtitle tracks, don’t use Handbrake. That will re-encode your video which will result in quality loss. Use MKVToolNix or FFmpeg to remux instead and only remove the tracks you don’t want.
Remuxing is also much faster and less cpu intensive than re-encoding.
I’m switching to AV1. But I’ve also been following its progress for years and understand the benefits and drawbacks. I wouldn’t recommend blindly jumping in if you’re new.
With docker-compose and Watchtower, I’m upgraded before I even see the announcement.
