Better yet, the batch convert feature is a big plus too as it allows you to convert multiple videos or a folder containing videos simultaneously by placing the files in a queue. On top of that, this open source also lets you edit the video by adjusting the dimensions, quality, framerate, bitrate, applying filtres, burning in subtitles, adding audio tracks, and defining the conversion speed – high speed results in lower quality compared to slow decoding.
You can either define your own conversion parameters or make the whole process very convenient using the built-in presets that simplify the whole process. This is the highlight feature in Handbrake and basically touches on the ability of this program to transcode/convert videos from one format into either the MP4 or MKV formats. Here are the key features that make it a must-have software. Handbrake is a pretty powerful open source video converter and DVD ripping software that proves to be very handy.
