    Linear video editor supporting basic cutting, filtering, encoding, batch scripting, and many formats; ideal for single-file edits, trimming, re-encoding, and simple cleanup but not for multi-track or montage projects requiring nonlinear editing capabilities.

    Quick and easy but still allows in-depth changes (codecs/filters).

    Old, reliable, works anywhere!

    I like XMedia Recode as an alternative to HandBrake because XMedia Recode offers a much better UI. While both apps are great in most respects, HandBrake's UI leaves much to be desired.

    It allows more customization, f.e. choose the aspect ratio.
