HandBrake
From public sourcesHandBrake is an open-source desktop video transcoder for Linux, macOS and Windows that converts existing videos into MP4, MKV or WebM for phones, TVs and browsers.
Overview
Many videos from cameras, phones, screen recordings, DVDs and Blu-ray discs do not play on the devices you want to watch them on. HandBrake solves this by transcoding your existing files into modern formats that work on mobile phones, tablets, TV media players, game consoles, computers and web browsers.
HandBrake works with most common video files and formats. It uses tools such as FFmpeg, x264, x265 and SVT-AV1 to create new MP4, MKV or WebM files from your sources. It runs as a desktop application on Linux, Mac and Windows.
HandBrake is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. It is aimed at anyone who needs to convert video files for playback on other devices, from casual users to professionals. Documentation and community support channels are available on the project's official website.
HandBrake is developed in the open, and contributions and translations are welcome.
