Handbrake is considered the Swiss Army knife of video conversion tools. Running on the three major operating system platforms, Handbrake can open a huge variety of formats, including common ones that others can't handle (like the titles in the MPEG TS structure of a DVD).

It has advanced features including chapter marking, subtitle inclusion and audio selection, plus filters for optimising video.
