What is HandBrake?
HandBrake is a general-purpose, open-source, cross-platform, multithreaded video transcoder software application. HandBrake supports batch encoding through Windows graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI). Users are able to customise the output by altering the bit rate, maximum file size or bit rate and sample rate via constant quality. HandBrake also supports deinterlacing, decombing, scaling, detelecine, and (auto-)cropping. HandBrake does not directly support the decryption of Blu-ray Discs.
About (from HandBrake Community)
