Check out the documentation on how to write custom profiles:

> [@MCEBuddy - Understanding Profiles Basics](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/mcebuddy-understanding-profiles-basics/27):

> MCEBuddy [Profiles Basics](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/27) Stock MCEBuddy profiles are in the profiles.conf file located in the config directory where MCEBuddy is installed. One can create new profiles or customize existing ones. It’s highly recommended to create your own custom profiles.conf file in a directory outside of MCEBuddy’s installation folder (e.g. C:\MCECustomProfile) and configure MCEBuddy to use that custom profiles.conf from Settings → Expert Settings → Profiles.conf → Click on … → select your custom profiles.…

You can also refer some of the existing profiles in `profiles.conf` and customize it to use handbrake presets. Feel free to post back here with your custom profile and if there’s any issue you’re facing.

There are profiles for H.265, H.264 and lots of other types as well in `profiles.conf`
