What is HandBrake?

HandBrake is a free and open-source video transcoder developed by the HandBrake Project, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It converts video from a wide range of source formats and physical media including DVDs and Blu-rays to modern output formats using codecs such as H.264, H.265, and AV1. It relies on libraries including libavcodec and libdvdread for broad format support.
