Handbrake 0.9.4 is released. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder.

If you're not currently using the open-source Handbrake application, your life is woefully incomplete. Handbrake is one of the applications that you will continue to use when you die. Angels are using it, even as I type, to rip their DVDs to their hard-drives so that they can save battery life on long trips (to Redmond, most likely :-).

HandBrake is a free, open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. I have used Handbrake to convert several types of video files to work on my various gadgets including the Sidekick and g1 mobile phones.

HandBrake is a multithreaded video transcoder, This will allow us to rip DVD to MP4, MKV, AVI or OGM. It is open source and is under the GPL. To use this program only need the DVD VIDEO_TS folder with the files or a DVD image to pass to the other formats are MP4 and MKV, MPEG-4, H.264, AAC audio or Theora, MP3, Vorbis or AC-3 and DTS.

Handbrake, the closest thing to entertainment manna we have, has released the newest version of its open-source DVD ripping software, version 0.93. There's just one problem: it no longer rips DVDs. At least, not the kind you'd want to rip.

What if you wanted to adopt digital media on your own terms, using free software? Well, Handbrake is here to take care of digitizing your DVD collection.

This is an overview of 5 most popular applications for ripping DVDs in Linux: dvd::rip, K9Copy, AcidRip, thoggen and HandBrake.

I decided earlier this week I needed to rip a DVD and looked around at the available options on Linux. I’m not overly experienced at doing this sort of thing, in the past I’ve always got the job done with applications like dvd:rip but not had a very satisfying experience.

I’m close to my goal of being able to manage my iPod Touch completely without iTunes on Ubuntu. HandBrakeCLI (HandBrake’s command line interface) for Linux encodes excellent quality video, and although it runs in the terminal is simple to use.
