EasyBrake

EasyBrake is a compact Windows application whose purpose is to help users convert video files to MP4 or MKV file format.

It sports a clean and minimalistic layout that allows you to perform most operations with minimum effort. In case you don’t manage to understand the functionality of each built-in parameter, you can rely on tooltips for giving you information about them.

EasyBrake gives you the possibility to create a list with videos to be processed, and delete the selected file or clear the entire list with just one click.

The tool offers support for the following file formats: 3GP, AVI, FLV, MKV, QT, and others. Plus, it offers support for batch processing, which means you can upload multiple files and process them at the same time.

When it comes to video and audio configuration settings, you are allowed to select the output format (MKV or MP4), bitrate, and size, choose between various preset profiles (e.g. iPod, iPad, Android, Apple TV), pick the audio codec, and specify the gain.

You are allowed to select a default subtitle language, upload an external subtitle file (SRT file format), burn the default subtitle, and use the decomb filter for deinterlacing frames.

Last but not least, it is possible to rip audio CDs, VCDs, and non-encrypted Blu-Ray Discs, split or compress videos, download online clips from YouTube and convert them, as well as preview the files.

During our testing we have noticed that the tool carries out a task quickly and without errors throughout the entire process. It doesn’t put a lot of stress on CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

EasyBrake proves to be a reliable tool that offers very good output results and a handy set of parameters, which can be configured by rookies and professionals alike.
