What do you like best about Handbrake?

My primary use case for Handbrake is shrinking down files to smaller size for web delivery, or uploading over slow internet. I'm not exactly sure what all the sliders do, but the program always seems to do an excellent job of keeping quality while meeting an extremely efficient file size.

What do you dislike about Handbrake?

The queueing function seems like it's pretty outdated at this point. I wish I could just add a whole folder at once with the same preset. In this way it struggles like Adobe Media Encoder does. I also have to guess & check a lot as far as what settings will work best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Handbrake:

It's completely free! That's reason enough to keep it around. Client also will appreciate that you deliver smaller files, as they often work on overstuffed computers with slow connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Handbrake solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm often on the road, in airports, or in coffee shops, and trying to upload video files; on slower connections, smaller files will always win. Handbrake is an essential part of my workflow for shrinking files to size to still be able to do my job regardless of location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
