Old thread update: I didn't see anything on the home page or
softpedia's page about a dotNET requirement, but I found one on the HandBrake FAQ:
Requires v.3.5

Good news. HandBrake has been around forever at this point and is presumably a very mature code base. I can definitely see some advantages to a portable version including running it on the fastest computer available and use/distribution of a very carefully selected settings set.

Handbrake v1.1.0 released (changelog at
https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases/).
A review of changes from BetaNews is at

For a good in-depth (albeit somewhat outdated) review against

Looks like after many years this has fulfilled the requirements for portability. It's actually been in this state for
some time now but I hadn't checked on the program so I missed that fact.
- Download portable version and extract
- Rename portable.ini.template to portable.ini
Without step 2, the program is essentially a "noinstall" tool that saves to
AppData.
Status:
Portable. Writes to application folder:
\storage\HandBrake\settings.json and
presets.json.
Moving to the submission thread.
Testing: I had a badly cropped video created with OBS (made in a rush) and it worked beautifully. The settings and encoding were easy to understand and worked very well. Many functions were a little over my head but the tool tips and preview helped prevent interference with use of a great encoder.
Wishlist:
* Available no-encode modifications (e.g. cutting commercials or long video intros)

Hope you won't mind -- feel free to revert -- that I took the liberty of editing in the official site (
https://handbrake.fr/) and download links and add the DotNET v4.8 dependency.
Please note that
Handbrake is 64-bit only.
Excellent documentation at
https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.3.0/, btw.

Sweet! Didn't know Handbrake was natively portable. Thanks to those that updated the listing!
