handbrake.m0k.org — After a 14-month hiatus, a brand new development team, a project forked then unforked, and literally hundreds of revisions? a new (beta) version of HandBrake is available! (HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 converter available for MacOS X, Linux, and Windows.)

@sbgskl> Just tried the Windows GUI version. Failed at reading both Fargo and Wall Street DVDs. Guess I'll have to try the Linux version.You used DVD43 to enable decoding so you could read the DVD from the disc? If so, post up what the problem was.If you didn't try that, either install and use DVD43 (so you can 1-step rip and transcode to MPEG, etc) or rip first and encode with Handbrake later. I use DVDFabDecrypter (free version) to rip.Guide on how to rip: <a class="user" href="http://roflmaocopterzor.googlepages.com/">http://roflmaocopterzor.googlepages.com/</a>

Smaller file size, better quality per megabyte, iPod and PSP compatible.For example, an MPEG-2 movie (DVD-quality) is easily over 4GB. With MPEG-4, it can be as small as 700MB, perhaps even smaller depending on bitrate.

Hi, to speed up Linux dev, whey not just use the QT Designer, the visual GUI editor? It is a RAD IDE great for GNU projects (due to it's license style). I have used it successfully for a few projects.One can build a GUI that forks a system call given parameters entered into boxes, in a matter of minutes (but I am sure your GUI will be more c omplex). Then, you can also cross compile this code to all platforms, Windows, Linux and MAC, as QT can tie to native widgets (or something like this) on all the major OS types.Maybe that helps? But maybe I just told you what you already know.
