Handbrake Update Adds New Features

"DVD-lovers, start your engines! On Monday, the developers of the free, open-source video transcoder HandBrake released an update that's small in number change but large in feature additions."

The update adds some new presets for the new AppleTV, the iPhone 4 and the iPad. It's also now Intel only. Interestingly, for OS X, it's added multiple instance support. I can't imagine why I'd need that, but if you do, now you have it. There are more feature updates, so be sure to click through to see what else has changed.

Handbrake Help Only a Click Away

"If you're a Mac user interested in ripping your commercial DVDs to a format playable on an Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone, the free video transcoder, HandBrake 0.9.3, is one of the easiest ways to go about it."

I've used Handbrake for years and found it very forgiving, but I haven't explored a lot of the options past the basic settings. If you are like me, this is a must read. It is a pretty good step-by-step instructional article by Chris Breen on how to go beyond the basics with Handbrake.

Handbrake 0.9.3 Released

"Handbrake, the popular multi-platform transcoding tool, has officially released version 0.9.3 to the public today. New in this version is the ability to transcode other sources of video besides DVDs. On the flip side, there is no longer any more built-in DVD decryption. While this may seem like bad news to users on the surface, it isn't really that bad. If you're a Mac user, and you install VLC in your applications folder, it will transparently use VLC's decrypting engine. Cool, huh?"

In the absence of Visual Hub, the idea that Handbrake could be my one stop shop for converting video and ripping DVD's is very comforting. Handbrake has always been a good piece of software and this seems like a worthy release. It's important to note for you bi-platformular people that the Windows version still won't decrypt a DVD even if you have VLC installed, but I imagine that can't be too far off now that they've got it working for OSX.
