HandBrake is a free and open-source tool for converting video files from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. It enables anyone to easily prepare their camera videos to be played on a wide variety of devices, including all versions of iPhones, iPods, Apple TVs, Android phones, Android tablets, and more. Of course, the app fully supports one of the most popular video conversion processes of all time -the transfer of movies from your DVDs to your hard drive by converting them to files in the MPEG-4 format. You can apply many great video filters (grayscale, detelecine, decomb, deinterlace, denoise, deblock), as well as set the video codec, quality and framerate, audio codec, mixdown, sample frequency rate, and bitrate.

HandBrake was originally created in 2003 by the Eric Petit who made this app exclusively for the shortly lived BeOS operating system, but was shortly after ported to Windows, macOS, and Linux (Ubuntu). Petit continued being active on the development of the app until 2006 when he left and enabled its community to continue working on updates (originally made under the name “MediaFork”, but later renamed back to Handbrake).

Today, after so many years and a turbulent state of development, the software still represents one of the most popular video conversion programs on the market, with support for many features that make the conversion process easy and intuitive. Even still, this program remains to be 100% free and with regular updates continues to expand its capability to work with all currently popular video and audio codecs on the market.

Just a few of the reasons we think you'll love this software:
