I'm trying to convert multiple videos I usually use handbrake and I use apple universal cause I like the file size to quality ratio but I have around 70 videos so I would like a batch conversion. Any help would be great thanks.

Are they separate files you have or what? Handbrake has a queue which you can easily have a list of videos that you want to convert and then tell it to start the encoder queue...

If the problem is the tediousness of configuring the settings for every file - then you can either use the CLI with something like this:

HandBrake • View topic - Batch encode a folder of videos

or a little further down in that thread:

HandBrake • View topic - Batch encode a folder of videos


or you can try this software which I have honestly never tried, but is supposed to make batch encoding easier with handbrake (basically a gui front end to the cli I guess):

HandBrake Queue Manager 1.0 software download - Mac OS X - VersionTracker

YMMV but at least that might help.
