In this article, I will show how to use Handbrake to convert video files. Some of the popular tools include ffmpeg, mencoder, and my favorite Handbrake. There are dozens of such tools out there, and I am covering the one that I frequently use, because it’s easy and I’ve been using it for a long time. Just keep one point in mind: this is just one of the “many” ways you can do it in Linux.
In this article, I will share how I transcode video in Linux using CLI tools. I would mount the removable drive on my desktop and convert files using GUI tools. I confess that even if I ran a headless file server at home, I never really bothered to do it via an SSH session. There was a demand for CLI (command-line interface) tools for the same job. In a previous article, I wrote about some GUI tools that can transcode videos with ease. However, if you want to play videos on mobile devices such as your iPhone or iPad, or if you run streaming servers, then transcoding your videos into supported formats becomes essential. Linux users don’t need to transcode video files, because they have VLC and many other apps at their disposal that can play almost any media format out there.
