Convert DVD Media Format To Run On Portable Devices With Handbrake

I have posted several media converter before such as freemake and Oxelon but i'm not done yet. Today, I want to introduce another similar software that is consistently voted as the best media converter and DVD ripping tool, it is called Handbrake. It is open-source and available to MacOS X, Linux and Windows. The supported media source are DVD-like source (VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD, and some .VOB and .TS files) and any multimedia file that libavformat can read and libavcodec can decode. You can convert any source mentioned to MP4 or MKV which are the most popular format for mobile devices.

With the preview function, you can check if the quality of the selected output is acceptable to you.
