Handbrake is ideal for compressing particularly long files which otherwise would not compress down as much using compression programs such as compressor. It's also easily customisable which makes changing settings incredibly easy and very convenient for the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For particularly large files Handbrake can be quite slow on occasion. By tailoring the settings you can find a means of making this faster but it is a learning curve. With faster machines this issue also will be reduced and simply requires some trial and error between your own computers memory settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far it has ingested and exported any file I have thrown at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could be updated a bit. It feels very old but still works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful feature about Handbrake is its flexibilty in converting videos to and from a large number of formats. It is quiete easy ti use it and even quick in converting large files. It also allows me to convert videos in a format that can be read on Apple devices, without needing ti download any app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though it supports lots of formats, I found out that it doesn’t support a specific format for devices like Sony PSP. Sometimes the quality of the converted video is a bit lower that the original one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plenty of options that Handbrake provides is just great. Command line feature provides a lot of flexibility and allows to queue up tasks. The interface has many information for each option that is extremely helpful for newcomers.

I wish there was more presets really. The default presets should have some easy to understand presets like max compression or highest quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its easy to convert any video to MP4. I can resize a video and ad subtitles so i can forget the srt files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cant create a dvd disc or mix 2 or more videos in one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HandBrake is the easiest way I've experienced to change video file codecs or pull files from DVDs. It's simple to set up, simple to use, and very customizable. I'm pleased to be able to implement more Free & Open Source software into my workflow, and this is one of the most reliable programs we've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HandBrake doesn't always make it obvious which setting you'll want to use for videos, so it may take a bit of trial and error to find your perfect file fit. It's not a real issue to me. The design holds over from older design sensibilities and could definitely be freshened up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often when videos are sent from suppliers they are very large and not suitable for web or email. Handbrake makes cutting the video size down a breeze. Easy to use and not CPU intensive at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visually these days its a bit lacking, looks very "95".

Guides online are helpful but a novice would struggle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handbrake is a great utility for converting or reducing the size of videos, and since it is open-source based it is available for free and constantly updating with new features. Once you learn how to use it properly, it really can save a lot of time and space, which is often a problem when working with videos mostly on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The offering of options and tools for converting video can be confusing for someone not used to the software, and since some of the official documentation can be outdated it can give you problems learning to use it by yourself. Also, the interface for batch video conversion could be better as it is outdated by today's standards, but other than that I'm satisfied with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handbrake is an exceptional video file tool. It is a great product to turn to because its so versatile, you can achieve so many different end results with it. It is incredibly reliable, and works very quickly. The progress bar and messages along the way of a file conversation are fun and user friendly too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's very little to dislike. Its like a swiss army knife for video file handling. I'd love for it to be easier to edit/shorten file lengths, but it is still possible with Handbrake. Along with so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works fast and doesn't compromise quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything that I can think of that I would change. Maybe adding a small rollover explanation of what the different settings options do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
