Welcome! Are you sure that it is Handbrake adding the text and not the media player showing the file name as it starts playing? I know that sounds obvious, but I've seen that trip people up before.

I'm with Michael on this one, VLC used to do that to me and it drove me mad until I figured out how to turn it off. There's very little chance this is coming from Handbrake!

When I am creating videos using the Handbrake software, it puts the filename I am using in white text on the start of the video.

Is there a setting to stop this or some way around this?

I would like to create some high-quality files and do not want the filename like this to mess it up! Thanks!
