HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder tool built by volunteers for converting video intended to both rip and convert video files to work on a number of supported devices from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. It can process most common multimedia files and any DVD or Blu-Ray sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection. Handbrake outputs file containers such as .MP4, .MKV and WebM. It supports video encoders such as AV1, H.265 and H.264, MPEG-4 and MPEG-2, VP8 and VP9. You can download HandBrake from their official website.
How to use HandBrake:
To use HandBrake to convert a video file to another format, you can follow these steps:
- Launch HandBrake by clicking twice (double-clicking) on the cocktail & pineapple icon. Depending on your system settings, a single click may suffice.
- Open your existing video by selecting the Open Source button on the toolbar to browse your files for a video to open.
- Set a save folder by selecting the Browse button next to the Destination field.
- Select the output format on the “output setting” and “preset”.
- Press the green icon to start encoding.
Some of the cons of HandBrake are:
- It does not support copy-protected DVDs or Blu-rays.
- It can be slow when processing large files.
- It does not have a built-in video editor.
