HandBrake is a tool that enables you to convert almost any video file or DVD to MP4 or MKV container. The interface of the application is standard and both beginners and experienced individuals can easily get accustomed to this program. You can import a DVD folder or video file by using the file browser or the "drag and drop" method. Then, you can select the title and chapters, preset, output format destination, as well as configure settings before initiating the encoding process. I recommend using the included Presets if you lack the needed advanced knowledge. Get started with HandBrake in seconds by choosing a profile optimised for your device, or choose a universal profile for standard or high quality conversions. Simple, easy, fast. For those that want more choice, tweak many basic and advanced options to improve your encodes.

Handbrake can process most common multimedia files and any DVD or BluRay sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection.
