Your best using the PPA as @Andres311 suggested.

The version of HandBrake in the Ubuntu Repositories is not maintained by the HandBrake Team and has bugs that do not occur in the official PPA Release.

See https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.1.0/get-handbrake/where-to-get-handbrake.html

Handbrake is in the default repositories in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. To install it open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install handbrake

Handbrake can be installed as a snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. To find the handbrake snap package open the terminal and type:

snap find handbrake # the next 2 lines are the results of the command
Name          Version  Developer  Notes  Summary
handbrake-jz  1.0.2-0  jz         -      The open source video transcoder

The results of snap find handbrake will usually show that the version of handbrake-jz is the latest stable version of Handbrake. To install this handbrake snap package run these commands:

sudo snap install handbrake-jz

handbrake and handbrake-jz can also be installed from the Ubuntu Software app in Ubuntu 16.04 and later.
