    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.

    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.
