HandBrake is a program that allows you to convert video files that are in unusable file formats to a new file that uses a better or more commonly used format. The program is useful for converting videos to a format for use on mobile devices that support video and converting movies to a single video file. You can burn converted files to a DVD using a different DVD burning program. You cannot burn a DVD directly with HandBrake, but you can first convert a video for burning.
