Videos shot on mobile phones quickly accumulate to several gigabytes. They are too large to send to family, and storing them for a long time is a burden. Free and open-source video conversion tools HandBrakeBy using this, you can convert the original video into widely used formats such as MP4 while significantly reducing the file size.
What kind of tool is it?
- It is completely free and open source (GPL) and can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- It accepts almost all standard video files as input and outputs them in MP4 (.M4V), MKV, and WebM formats.
- The video codecs support H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9, etc., and device-specific default settings (presets) are built-in, so you can simply select a preset for the first time.
- It provides features for maintaining and adding subtitles (SRT, SSA, etc.), displaying chapters, and a queue to process multiple files at once.
- DVDs and Blu-rays with copy protection cannot be processed.
Try starting like this
- Download the installation file from the official website and install it. Since there are many paid or advertising sites with similar names, please make sure to check that it is the official address.
- After loading the video, select a preset for mobile phones or tablets, set a save location, and start the conversion.
- Please play the converted version first to check the video quality and subtitles before deciding whether to organize the original. Since the conversion may take time, it is recommended to keep your laptop plugged in.
This is a particularly useful tool when you want to reduce the size of video files, such as those of your children or grandchildren, or video files brought from Korea, for storage.
