HandBrake is an open-source video transcoder that can rip any DVD or Bluray-like video source into MP4 or MKV. The HandBrake project started as a BeOS application later being ported over to MacOS X and to GNU/Linux. Latest version comes also with Windows support and with additional features such as:
- Chapter selection, Chapter Markers
- Subtitles
- Vobsub and Closed Captions
- SRT import and passthru
- SSA passthru or burn-in (experimental)
- Constant Quality or Average Bitrate Video Encoding
- Support for VFR, CFR and VFR
- Video: Deinterlacing, Decomb, Detelecine, Cropping and scaling
- Live Video Preview
Being not a native Windows application, HandBrake is a little bit complicated to use. Therefore the guys from Codeplex started a new project based on HandBrake source adding a new and improved interface to it.
