HandBrake
HandBrake is a free and open-source transcoder for digital video files, originally developed in 2003 by Eric Petit (a.k.a. "titer" from his SVN repository username) to make ripping a film from a DVD to a data storage device easier. Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions.[2]
HandBrake is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.[3] It uses third-party libraries such as FFmpeg, libvpx, and x265.
