HandBrake 1.7.3

4.8 from 5 Reviews

HandBrake is a software tool for multithreaded video transcoding and converting, whose main advantage is the ability to handle many video and audio file formats.

Check GUI vs CLI: A Comparison of Two Software Interfaces guide and Video Encoding Wars: StaxRip vs HandBrake.

Convert your DVDs to MP4 and MKV video formats fast and easy!

DVD folders can be imported either using the file browser or by the more intuitive and attractive “drag and drop” method.

Encoding is not the only operation performed by HandBrake.

You also have the possibility of applying video filters, such as grayscale, decomb, deinterlace, deblock or denoise.

Don’t settle for less and also set the video codec, the quality, the framerate, the sample frequency rate and other advanced features as you wish.

Additionally, you can add, remove or import subtitles (only in the SRT format, though), and create chapter markers.

After playing with all the features of HandBrake, you can preview your results before conversion and apply other conversion options, as well, such as task lists, presets or program settings.

Apart from the subtitles, another limitation of this virtual item is the fact that unencrypted protection methods including CSS are not supported internally and they must be resolved.

IMPORTANT!
+ Upgrade Notice:
- Before updating, please make sure there are no pending encodes in the Queue.
Please also make a backup of any custom presets and app preferences you have as they may not be compatible with newer versions.
- For Windows users, please make sure you have Microsoft * DESKTOP * runtime 5.x installed.
