In HandBrake terms, the original video you already have is called the `Source`. One of HandBrake's strengths is its ability to open `Sources` in a wide variety of video formats, including but not limited to:
|

Once you've [downloaded and installed HandBrake](../get-handbrake/download-and-install.html), it's time to open a video for encoding.

- Videos made by mobile phones, tablets, and many video cameras and DSLRs
|

- Screen and game recordings, web videos, video editing projects[^consumer-editor-export], and other computer-related sources

## Using the Open Source dialog
|
||||
## Ways to open a video source
|
||||
|
||||
At the top of HandBrake's main window, you'll see a toolbar with various buttons.
|
||||
By default, HandBrake presents the `Open Source` dialog on launch. It is also accessable from the `Toolbar` at the top of HandBrake's main window.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Select the `Open Source` button to select the video you want to open.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Select the `Open Source` button to select the video you want to open. You can also drag and drop a video `Source` onto HandBrake's main window.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Dragging and dropping
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can also drag and drop a video `Source` onto HandBrake's main window.
|
||||
HandBrake will scan your selection and after a few moments, the main window will show the file name of the `Source` you opened along with some additional information.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Next steps
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Great! At this point, HandBrake knows which video you want to use.
