Convert anything with Handbrake!
If Handbrake was in my top 10 applications to install right away when I get a new Mac, it now holds the #1 spot. The version 0.9.3 was released and it is packed with improvements. I first want to talk about the downgrade, it is not possible to use it with encrypted DVDs anymore unless you have VLC installed. So it is not much of a downgrade, you just have to make sure to have an up-to-date version of VLC and you won't have any problems. I think the best new feature is that the source is not limited to a DVD or a VIDEO_TS folder. You can convert most video files with Handbrake now. It is using the FFmpegX project for the conversion. I think that's a great news because Handbrake has always been many times more efficient at using multiple cores than QuickTime. There is a lot more to talk about and you'll probably hear more about it soon. You can get the new version of Handbrake here from MacUpdate.

Sweet! I've been looking for a video converter with the power of handbrake.
So, if you have VLC installed, is it still a one-click operation, or do you first have to decrypt in VLC then convert with Handbreak?
Sounds good, I am new to this so what is VLC
VLC is a media player that you can get there: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
It's for Intel only. :(
The MacUpdate link is Intel only, but just under the main link, there is a link to the PPC version.
Does it require that I first decrypt the DVD with VLC before converting with Handbrake? Or with VLC installed...does it auto convert?
Just VLC installed is fine.
PPC can be downloaded here: http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
