How to Solve "Some File Refused to be Converted by HandBrake" Error
Handbrake users are allowed to choose DVD, DVD image, DVD VOB files, MPEG-TS, Matroska, AVI, MPEG-4 and more as input. Handbrake cannot at present encode from DRM-encrypted videos purchased from iTunes or found on DVD or Blu-Ray discs. However, if VLC Media Player (64 bit version) is installed under a Unix-based system, encrypted DVDs can be read as well.
Somehow due to there are numerous video codecs available in the current market, you cannot ensure all you video sources are supported by Handbrake. If occasionally you get an error message saying: "some file refused to be converted by HandBrake", which means your source video file is not supported by Handbrake.

Why Handbrake Refuses to Support These Files, and How to Solve It?

When you want to convert to MP4, MKV or M4V container formats from Handbrake unsupported format, then you need search online to get proper codecs for the conversion.
