The basic features of HandBrake are straightforward so that a beginner can easily rip a DVD or convert a file. In less than a minute, we were able to convert an AVI file into an MP4. Obviously small files take less time to convert than a full length DVD but that doesn’t diminish the fact that basic conversions are easy to navigate in HandBrake.
Whether it’s ripping a DVD or converting a multimedia file into a different format, ‘HandBrake’ is one of my favorite video transcoders due its powerful features. Where most others lack (subtle) advanced features such as video cropping, ‘Handbrake’ has it all, well, almost.
HandBrake for Linux is a GPL'd multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper or converter. HandBrake was originally available on the BeOS, but now has. HandBrake is a multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder. Supported sources: Any DVD-like source: VIDEOTS folder, DVD image or real DVD, and some.VOB and.TS files, Blu-ray source, Most any multimedia file it can get libavformat to read and libavcodec to decode.
With ‘HandBrake’ you can crop (manually or automatically), add denoise filters, change height/width & aspect ratio, encode the video based on the bitrate or quality, gain audio volume, change the sample rate & channels, add multiple audio streams, add subtitles & DVD chapters, and a whole lot more.
That said, ‘HandBrake’ contained a very useful feature that used to let one to set the quality, based on the output file’s size, but it’s not there anymore. And that’s my only complaint so far 🙂 .
So anyway, if you’re using Fedora 22 and want to install the latest version (0.10.2), then please follow the below steps. They’re based on the command-line, but they’re easy to follow.
1. If you have already enabled the ‘RPMFusion’ repository (it includes proprietary software packages that Fedora doesn’t provide due to their proprietary licenses etc) then you can skip this step. Otherwise, enter the below command to enable it:
3. Now enter the below commands to install ‘HandBrake’ and the ‘libdvdcss’ package (which is required to decrypt DVDs)Â :
sudo dnf install HandBrake-gui libdvdcss
That’s it!. If you use the ‘Gnome3 Classic’ desktop like me, then you should be able to open it through the ‘Sound & Video’ section of the Main Menu.

HandBrake 64-bit is a free and open source tool for converting video files from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. It enables anyone to easily prepare their camera videos to be played on a wide variety of devices, including all versions of iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Android phones, Android tables and more. Of course, the app fully supports one of the most popular video conversion processes of all time -transfer of movies from your DVDs to your hard drive by converting them to files in the MPEG-4 format. You can apply many great video filters (grayscale, detelecine, decomb, deinterlace, denoise, deblock), as well as set the video codec, quality and framerate, audio codec, mixdown, sample frequency rate and bitrate. This software was originally created in 2003 by the Eric Petit who made this app exclusively for the shortly lived BeOS operating system, but was shortly after ported to Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Ubuntu). Petit continued being active on the development of the app until 2006 when he left and enabled its community to continue working on updates (originally made under the name “MediaFork”, but later renamed back to Handbrake). Today, after so many years and turbulent state of development, Handbrake 64-bit still represents one of the most popular video conversion programs on the market, with support for many features that make the conversion process easy and intuitive. Even still, the program remains to be 100% free and with regular updates continues to expand its capability to work with all currently popular video and audio codecs on the market. Just a few of the reasons we think you'll love this software: Built-in Device Presets
