Great conversion utility

by busybusy Jun 18, 2024 (Read all my 262 reviews)

HandBrake make it easy to do video conversions. They keep updating the software so it is good to see that that author is maintaining it and adding features. It has tons of video setting to match the type of video devices you may want to play a particular video on, so cool. Great Utility!

I who know nothing about video processing reduced a video file from 14 MB to 1.4 MB in a few minutes, got great quality and had fun. Very intuitive program that gives me the security of knowing I ccan edit videos with the greatest of ease. Thank you to HandBrake. PS - I'd surely pay for this program.

Fast, easy to use converter

by lental731 Dec 10, 2014

I'm surprised the editors have only rated Handbrake four stars. I've used other conversion programs in the past and all have worked reasonably well but Handbrake is by far the fastest and simplest to use. I use it to convert Quicktime MOV files to AVI files for use in Windows Movie Maker on Windows 7. It's worked flawlessly for me.

Good conversions and user friendly

by realbull2009250 Mar 15, 2013 (Read all my 60 reviews)

I've been using this for several years and it has always been reliable. The conversions are always good quality with very little quality loss and fairly fast. The interface is easy to understand. The default options should be good enough for most casual users, so there is not much tweaking needed, just add the video and convert. But it may have enough options for more advanced users. The downside is that on weaker systems, it can chew up a lot of CPU power and slow your system down.

Wow - I am impressed

by JcLu52 Aug 07, 2012 (Read all my 3 reviews)

I tried to convert a RM video (Real Media) to MPEG format that understands & supported by most players. I used VLC (the latest) both x86 and x64 on Windows 7 64bit machine. With VLC, it takes a very long time to convert. For a 54 minutes .rm file (Real Video 4.0 (RV40) resolution: 720x528, frame rate: 1000, cook audio 22050 HZ, mono, 32 bits per sample as reported by VLC), VLC used about 3050 minutes to convert - too long. With VLC, the resulting files are very often having troubles played by other player including VLC - what?! - yeah, VLC can't play the file it converted properly. It's probably user error in the end. VLC's options are extensive and complicated. With Handbrake, it was done in under 4 minutes on a Q6600 oc to 3.2G with 8G DDR2! WOW - I am impressed. Plus, the result file can be played by VLC, Media Plaer Classic & Media Player Classic Homecinema (both x86 & x64) and most importantly - Windows Media Player. The selection are very simple and straight forward. When I use multiple players (Windows Media Player, VLC (x86 & x64), Media Class (x86 & x64), Media Class Homecinema (x86 & x64), Nero Kwik Media) to play the same file, all players play them properly. Amazing!! I am in love with Handbrake. ;)
