Converting Video to H.264

One of the nicest features of video hosting services is that they free you from worrying about codecs and container formats because they do the conversion for you. It’s up to you to create a video file with the desired resolution, but the hosting service takes it from there. If you’re hosting video yourself, you’ll need to convert your video to MP4 and perhaps Flash, too.

A number of tools are available for dealing with video, but when it comes to converting video from other formats to H.264, there’s only one you need to worry about: HandBrake. HandBrake is a free, open source application that enables you to convert video stored in pretty much any format to H.264. There are versions for Windows, OS X, and Linux that all work basically the same. You can download HandBrake at http://handbrake.fr/.

If you just want to convert your video to H.264, you can open it in HandBrake and click Start. However, you’ll probably want to tweak some of the settings to optimize your video for use on the Web. Check out the interface for HandBrake in Figure 14.6. I’ll walk you through the options you’ll want to set to optimize your video for the Web.
