Convert Your DVDs To MPEG Files

Posted Apr 7, 2008 by Jason Faulkner  

Have you ever wanted to convert your DVD library to files you can play on your computer, but don’t want to worry about having to find the right program? If so, make sure to give HandBrake a download.

HandBrake is an open source program which converts DVD videos to MPEG-4 files (among other formats such as AVI). HandBrake works on Windows, Linux and Mac so no matter what your OS of choice is, you can run it. You can view screenshots of HandBrake here. The only issue you may have is with some copy protection on DVDs which might require external programs to decode.

So if you are looking to build your DVD library on your computer, then HandBrake can be a great way to get your discs converting.
