App Highlight: Open Source Video Transcoder Handbrake
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
_**Brief: HandBrake is a free and open-source video conversion tool that is quite useful. 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.

|
||
|
||
### 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.
