Handbrake Reviews & Product Details

The sheer amount of compatibility with files it has. It's crazy how much you can do with it. Once you learn, and need something simple done, it's relatively easy to get a quick file converted for proper use if you don't mess it up. It's saved me countless times with damaged files, unreadable files, or converting files to a more readable format for Adobe to be able to import from discs or lost media types. Recommend it so often because it's also free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extremely displeasing UI. It's not pleasant to look at, or easy to navigate and use. You'll find you haven't selected one of the hundred sliders or drop downs and mess up your file. So integrating it into workflow will be difficult as will implementing on computers as it can be really simple to delete by accident. It's not easy to use unless you really know your background tech stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Efficiency, once applied the correct settings, creating your own preset, you can process every video in a breeze, and it always delivers outstanding results. With basic audio processing, you can adjust the volume gain and normalise on the fly, which is a must, when dealing with inconsistent volume footage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HandBrake is a free, open-source tool that offers powerful video conversion capabilities. It supports a wide range of formats and codecs, making it versatile for various needs. The batch processing feature is particularly useful for converting multiple files simultaneously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface can be overwhelming for beginners due to its numerous settings and options. Additionally, while it supports many formats, it doesn't handle encrypted DVDs or Blu-rays, which limits its utility for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I stopped over to review Handbrake because I know it's a great tool.

I've used a lot of video conversion tools l in the past and even though they're good at what they do, however, Handbrake stands out from the rest.

In my experience, almost all the video converting tools that I've tried out tend to either reduce the pixel quality of my videos or even increase their sizes. Handbrake works contrarily to them all.

-A little testimonial*

It's a tool that has really amazed me and when I told my friends that I'm using software that can potentially reduce video sizes (weight) but will not affect the quality (pixels) - they never believed me.

Here is what happened...

A friend of mine who is a gospel singer and who runs a YouTube channel brought his new clip ( I think it weighed around 1+ GB) in file size and he told me to upload it to his channel.

I suggested we should compress the file considering the fact that we regularly experience network issues and uploading it might not be easy, but he kept insisting that I should upload it in its original file size.

Well, I agreed but when he left, I uploaded the video to Handbrake, and did all the necessary output configurations for YouTube and after conversion, I uploaded the video.

A few days later, he came to my place and I teased him and asked him, "What are the impressions you have regarding the quality of the video we just published on your channel ?" he responded "It's fine, very original"

Wow! I said, "Great".

When I finally told him I'd converted that video he didn't believe me. So I went to my PC and opened up the two files (Original and converted) and the result was amazing - the file size dropped from 1+GB to 200MB yet, the video qualities were the same (original vs converted).

handbrake is the only tool that has ever achieved this result as per my experience. It's easy to use and has a friendly user interface. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While converted videos work perfectly on mobile screens, however, there is no mobile version of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
