It is so well suited for transcoding DVDs to video files. I have never had it not work on any DVD. It can read anything. It does a great job batching multiple videos on a DVD. It does not do a great job in converting one type of video file to another type of video file. The speed is also slower than other options on the market.

This is definitely the best video converter I've used. They frequently update the product and customer service is helpful. If you have any needs for downloading online videos, editing videos, or getting videos to a certain file type then I'd definitely recommend it

Handbrake Video Transcoder does the best job on the market of DVD scanning, transcoding, and batch processing. Other options on the market do not scan DVDs and throughly, reliably, or with the ability to batch all of the video segments. Other software costs a lot more and does not perform as well as Handbrake Video Transcoder with a variety of DVDs.

I used a variety of Chrome extensions to download video but they were always wonky and didn't deliver the quality downloads that HitPaw Video Converter does. I've also used the PullTube app, which is great, but its functionality is limited to only downloading YouTube videos. I like that HitPaw Video Converter also offers the ability to convert and edit files.
