The sheer number of options that Handbrake provides is amazing. the command line feature provides a lot of flexibility and allows to queue up tasks. The GUI has a lot of information for each option that is extremely helpful for newbies starting out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the lack of presets for handbrake is annoying. The default presets should have some easy to understand presets like max compression or highest quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software is very simple to use - very automated process that requires minimal attention or experience. Quickly converts file formats and compresses large video formats to manageable sizes suitable for emailing without compromising quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything I dislike yet... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly use this to compress files and when I have to convert Iphone footage to use in a editing program. It is great when compressing files into small limit sites such as under 2gb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That there is a seperate window for the queue and I wish some of the outputs were more customizable such as .mov or other file formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature of the software is the ease of usability. It looks complex at first but is very easy to get the hang of, and once you press 'start', the job is done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program has a older aesthetic. If you aren't familiar with the 2000's style windows desktop OS, it's designed with the same style in mind. Updating the program's visual likability would also increase usability further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have lots of video conversions to do either from class, or my lab - Handbrake is great for this! Flexible conversions from one codec to another, pretty fast, user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing - it is great. Queue for multiple automatic or batch conversions could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to pull content from a DVD. My organization uses this feature all the time to pull old game footage off of DVDs that we keep in our tape room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the consistency and reliability of the program. And by that I mean that there are often times when I choose a specific output format and when it's done encoding, the file isn't in the format I chose and requires me to do further conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simplicity and its results.... with only 3 or 4 clicks you can reduce the size of any video file to half or better (in most cases)... You just have to select your source video... select the output folder and hit "start" thats it... By default it auto transcodes your video into an HD .mp4 file... but if you want to get all pro, you can edit the advanced settings... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of options that I have never ever used, and some (way too) pro for me, but probably somebody likes them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best thing is that Handbrake it's free to download. You can use it as it is or use all the advanced controls that the interface provides you. It is also useful if you want to work on blurays. The presets for the different devices and formats are always good if you do not know how to move in the interface.

The interface is really difficult. I had to watch many tutorials online to understand how to move the first steps. Also the graphic composition of the interface is really confusing. I've also to underline the fact that sometimes to convert files will take sooooo long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how effective it is reducing the file size of videos as how fast it can be when you need to quickly convert them to use in social media. The variety of tools make it easy to work with, and you can easily use presets to make the process faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the extremely outdated interface, which makes the batch conversion a pain to work with. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the software as it is available for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the different optimization features when exporting videos, the ease of using presets and the availability of options. While compressed videos are hard to further reduce the file size, it is highly effective when it comes to projects that need to be uploaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to Handbrake, one of the biggest issues I disliked is the outdated interface, making the batch options annoying to use and annoying to make new presets. The rendering options can be a little slow sometimes, but I guess that is to expect from a software that is still in development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
