Question about converting avi to mp4 in Windows PC?

Do you know what is disadvantages of using HandBrake to convert AVI to MP4 in Windows computer? Although HandBrake is user-friendly, if you’re not tech-savvy, it might take a bit of time to grasp all the settings. The options for adjusting video encoding and quality can be overwhelming, especially if you’re just looking to quickly convert a file.

Depending on the size of the files and your computer’s specs, HandBrake can be quite resource-intensive. If you're running it on an older machine, it might slow down your system or take a lot of time to process big files. While there are presets for specific devices, I’ve found that sometimes none of them perfectly match what I need, which means I have to tweak the settings manually. This can make the process a bit tedious, especially if you're in a rush.

After converting AVI to MP4 in Windows computer, you’ll have to open it in a separate media player since HandBrake doesn’t have one built in. If you save it to a location that's hard to find, it may take some extra clicks to find your converted file.

If you stumble upon any of these issues, Microsoft’s own Movies & TV app (or Films & TV, depending on your version of Windows) might be a good option for converting formats directly. While it doesn’t convert files, it plays a wide array of video formats and could serve as a useful tool to view your AVI files without needing to convert them first.

Another option could be using Microsoft Photos (yes, the photo app does a bit more than just show pictures!). It has video editing capabilities and can handle basic video conversions by exporting videos in different formats, although it’s primarily for simple edits rather than wide-ranging conversions.
