App 3: HandBrake

In order to watch videos on your iPod or other multimedia devices, you have to jump through many hoops and hurdles. There are so many shoddy transcoders for iPods that all want your money, or come with spyware.
But I bring salvation AADD sufferers, and its called HandBrake.

HandBrake allows you to convert movie files, and DVDs to another format, so you can watch it on another device.


It can output as .mkv or .mp4 video formats, which are supported by many devices including iPods, PS3s PSPs and Xbox 360's.
It also supports multi-threading for quick conversions of files.
One of the best features of HandBrake is its ability to rip a DVD video to whatever format you need. This is much quicker than using one application to rip the DVD, then another to transcode it.

Have a lot of files to transcode? HandBrake allows you to queue them up, so you can just click and go.
HandBrake is available for Windows, Mac and Linux Operating Systems and comes in GUI (Graphical User Interface, show as above) and CLI (Command Line Interface) versions.
