Let’s see what are its main features and how to use them for converting videos from one format to another.**_ + +### HandBrake: An Open Source Video Transcoder + +![][1] + +[HandBrake][2] is a quite useful tool which helps you to convert a video from one format to some of the widely supported codecs (**.mp4/.m4v/.mkv/.webm**) + +It can support any video format and help you convert it. In addition to that, you have several features on board to customize the video attributes while converting. + +If you are looking for a [Format Factory alternative][3], this is your best bet. + +I shall highlight the key features to help you know more. + +![HandBrake][4] + +### Features of HandBrake + +When you start using the video transcoder, you will find a lot of tiny features for video conversion. However, here, I’ll highlight the important things you need to know about HandBrake: + +#### Video Conversion Presets + +![HandBrake Presets][5] + +Suppose you want to convert a full HD video to play on a mobile which was originally tailored for desktop viewing, what do you do? + +Would you test various dimensions and convert them repeatedly to get the perfect mobile port? Or, would you rather prefer to have pre-defined settings for such conversions? + +If you opt for a preset, you just have to select the target device (or type of device) from the list of available presets. + +It even features presets for PS4 Pro (4K) and Discord. So, you can expect a big list of presets available. + +#### Input Sources Support + +Unless the file has some sort of copy protection, HandBrake can help you convert it. You will have no problems whatsoever even if you have an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc as the source with no copyright protection. + +All the available video encoding formats should work fine as an input source file. + +#### Basic Video Manipulation + +![HandBrake Screenshot][6] + +In addition to the ability of video conversion, it also lets you tweak the video to suit your requirements. + +You can change the dimensions, crop it, add a filter, change the frame rate settings, and a lot more things. + +If that wasn’t enough, you also get the ability to add subtitles and chapter markers. + +#### Live Video Preview + +This may not be a big deal to have – but I haven’t seen any video converter tool featuring video previews while being able to convert/tweak the video. It could come in handy for someone specific. + +### Installing HandBrake on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions + +HandBrake is a cross-platform application and you can install it on all different platforms like Linux, macOS and Windows. Just head over to heir website and download it from there. + +[Download HandBrake for any platform][7] + +On It’s FOSS, our focus is on Linux so I am going to show the steps to install it on Linux. + +**Installing HandBrake on Ubuntu** + +HandBrake is available in the [universe repository in Ubuntu][8]. If you have it enabled, you should find it in the software center. Just search for the name and install it from there. + +![HandBrake in Ubuntu Software Center][9] + +You can also use terminal for installing HandBrake with apt or [apt-get command][10]: + +``` +sudo apt-get install handbrake +``` + +However, the software center might feature the older version. If you want to install the latest version of HandBrake on Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based distributions, you can [use its official PPA][11]. It’s better to uninstall any existing version of HandBrake beforehand. + +``` +sudo apt remove handbrake +sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases +sudo apt update +sudo apt install handbrake-gtk +``` + +You can [learn more about using PPA here][12]. It will help you to [remove PPA][13], if you ever need to uninstall HandBrake installed via the PPA. + +If you want to install the CLI version of Handbrake, simply use this command: + +``` +sudo apt install handbrake-cli +``` + +Quite honestly, HandBrake should be used as a GUI application. If you want command line, you can always [use ffmpeg][14] that is more powerful and HandBrake uses it underneath anyways. + +**Installing HandBrake on other Linux distributions** + +HandBrake is one of the [popular Linux software][15] and it should be available in the official repositories of almost all Linux distributions. + +Just use the software center or package manager of your distribution to install HandBrake. + +But again, your distribution might not have the latest version of HandBrale. So, if you want the latest version installed, you can try installing the [Flatpak package][16] available. If you are not sure how to use Flatpak, refer to our guide on [using Flatpak on Linux][17]. + +[HandBrake][2] + +**Wrapping Up** + +A free and open-source video conversion tool that gets the job done. I’m quite satisfied with it personally. + +If you use HandBrake extensively, mention at least one feature that you like the most about it. + +If you use some other application for converting video formats, do share it with us in the comments. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/handbrake/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/handbrake_software_logo.png?ssl=1 +[2]: https://handbrake.fr/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/format-factory-alternative-linux/ +[4]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/handbrake.png?ssl=1 +[5]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/handbrake-presets.png?ssl=1 +[6]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/handbrake-screenshot.png?ssl=1 +[7]: https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-repositories/ +[9]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/handbrake_ubuntu_software_center.png?ssl=1 +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/apt-get-linux-guide/ +[11]: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/ubuntu/handbrake-releases +[12]: https://itsfoss.com/ppa-guide/ +[13]: https://itsfoss.com/how-to-remove-or-delete-ppas-quick-tip/ +[14]: https://itsfoss.com/ffmpeg/ +[15]: https://itsfoss.com/essential-linux-applications/ +[16]: https://flathub.org/apps/details/fr.handbrake.ghb +[17]: https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/
