The command "handbrakecli --preset-list" is used to display a list of available presets in HandBrake, a popular open-source video transcoder.

HandBrake presets are pre-defined settings that determine how the video file will be converted or compressed. Each preset specifies various parameters such as video codec, audio codec, bitrate, resolution, and many other options that determine the output video's quality, compatibility, and file size.

By running the "handbrakecli --preset-list" command in the command-line interface, HandBrake will provide a textual list of all available presets that can be used for transcoding videos. These presets can serve as a starting point for users with different requirements, such as converting videos for specific devices, optimizing for web streaming, or achieving a balance between quality and file size.

After getting the list of presets, users can select a desired preset and apply it when running HandBrake to convert their videos. The preset can be specified with the "--preset" parameter followed by the name of the preset.
