HandBrake 1.4.0 is a multi-platform video compression application which can be used on a variety of different operating systems (cross/multi-platform), including Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Mac OS (Intel 64-bit), and Linux. Using this software you can convert videos from almost any format to more modern formats or codecs supported by most media players such as libavformat (an audio/video library widely used by multimedia software). In other words, almost all popular video formats are now supported by Handbrake. In addition, it can also convert videos contained on DVD or blu-ray discs and other media.
One of the main functions worth considering is its ability to play audio (.mp3, .wma, .flac) and video (.mp4, .wmv, .avi, .mkv) formats. Unfortunately, not all video files can be played because the hardware specifications of the gadget are limited.
