Free DVD to MPEG-4 Converter HandBrake is a useful open source tool that converts DVD to MPEG for free.

Functions (function () {('overview-application-page-desktop');});

Forget about paying for a program to upload DVDs to your computer. Given that HandBrake does not pay a penny, the application offers exceptional results.

Handbrake allows you to perform two-way conversions and encode two audio tracks. Another good feature is the bit rate calculator, which changes the quality of the video according to the final file size you want to achieve.

You can even trim black bands around the movie to maximize the file size. Other notable features include chapter selection, basic subtitle support (embedded in the image) and grayscale coding.

Easy to use

By converting all types of DVDs with an easy-to-understand graphical user interface, the program speeds up the production of an MPEG-4 file to save on your computer.

Note that the correct codecs, such as DivX, Xvid, OGM, 3ivx, etc., must be installed for the file type to convert. Handbrake supports all DVD-like sources, such as VIDEO_TS folders, .VOB files, .TS, real DVD images and DVDs. . Non-encrypted security methods, including CSS, are not internally compatible and must be managed externally with third-party software and libraries.

Although I experienced some crashes with this version of HandBrake, it is still a good open source solution to rip DVDs.

Strong encoder

HandBrake is an incredibly impressive and powerful video encoder for all your MPEG-4 extraction needs. Best of all, it's free!
