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.

I love the vast array of presets and options. I can create my own templates with ease, and choose various scaling options, as well as deinterlacing as well. It's very easy to use and doesn't leave a big footprint on my computer. I use it a lot in my video work, to create H264 files, so the clients don't have to use ProRes files when posting their videos online.

1. The compressive quality 2. Variety of formats while converting 3. Easiest converting and resizing video tool 4. It is absolutely free 5. Takes less time for conversion compare to other tools 6. Batching of videos
