Freemake is a lot more flexible than Handbrake as it is able to output to all the formats mentioned above as well as WMV, AVI, MPEG, QuickTime, VOB, SWF, 3GP, and Blu-ray.

These formats cover most devices but not all the format needs for some people. Handbrake can only output videos in MP4 and Matroska, and audio in an MP3 format. Freemake has a clear advantage over its competitor, starting with the formats that they can output to. On the other hand, Handbrake is multi-platform accessible and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux users.īeing multi-platform is probably the only thing going for Handbrake in this comparison. Freemake is only available in Windows platforms. The main difference between Handbrake and Freemake is the platforms that they work in.

Two examples of this are Handbrake and Freemake video converters. There are software available that do the job pretty well, and they are absolutely free. Nowadays, there is really no reason to pay big bucks just so you can convert your videos and store them on your phone or other devices.
