- growlzor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+49Dugg for adding "all platforms" to the title. I hate reading about some amazing new program only to find out its not available for my operating system
- bwana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+43If you'd prefer not go to a blog first here is the link to the Handbrake site
http://handbrake.m0k.org/ - airencracken, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Finally available for Linux and Windows.
- sickswaystop, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23dugg for encouragement to post more free downloads
- sishgupta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17@willynilly: maybe because a handbreak is a backup brake...and handbrake backs up dvds...
I am so glad there is a new version, I love this open source tool. Keep up the good work! - Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14@thedobbler
wake up when you get yourself a halfway decent processor and a peice of common sense.
Selecting the correct title isn't that hard, and how long it takes to rip is minimally dependant on the software - sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Maybe read the blog post? I know this is going to get dugg down, but if I had just followed your link (blogspam BLARGLE) I wouldn't have found out that windows users need DVD43 downloaded first in order to decrypt dvds.

"You rarely see Windows software ported to anything else, seems far too much Windows software is made by ignorant programmers."
Or programmers with limited time/resources. - Harrison88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@ ebfoxbat
You understand that all an upscaler does is make the resolution of the file bigger? It doesn't improve the quality of the file. It's just like blowing a picture up. - Paperclip1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Get the graphical one.
Graphical = click on buttons
Command Line = type in commands at a prompt - darklord5907, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The only error is between your keyboard and your chair. You. Get your settings right and it might actually turn out good looking, if you don't know how, ask. Don't sit there bashing an application because you suck at ripping DVDs.

Let us know when you've got a multimedia player the size of a deck of cards with a screen that folds out to 20", a 100TB drive, and the ability to play back uncompressed audio and 1080p video. Until then, we'll stick to our more practical solution when we're on the go. - Myomax65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4CLI options

./HandBrakeCLI - EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5ADVICE: use the 5.1 audio track as the 2 channel track is almost always director's commentary.
- ChildeRoland420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It doesn't burn DVDs, it rips them.
- allancorbett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No. It's illeagal but it's also highly unlikely you'd ever get caught.

You understand you are totally wrong right? If all it did was make the resolution of the picture bigger than all upconverters would be the same. The fact is they are not. A good upscaler will in effect anti-alias a scaled up image making it a whole lot better.
My TV will take a 480p (or 480i) and display it at 720p because thats its native resolution. It is simply making the resolution bigger. That's why it looks horrible. While an upconverting DVD player will anti-alias the picture which gets rid of the jaggies.
What I want is software that will take its time and do that. Take my 480p/i upconvert it to 720p, anti-alias it, and de-interlace it (if needed). The result is clearer picture without flickering, color swirl, grains, or noise.
I don't know why you were dugg up but I'm pissed because you are simply wrong. I'm sure I'll be dugg down for flaming you if this is ever read (it's old now) but you are very, very wrong. - intelsucks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am hosting the Windows GUI. Hopefully you'll get be able to get better than 16.7kbps from mkk.org. Right-click, "Save Link As":
http://filexoom.com/files/2007/3/31/66212/Handbrake-win-2.21.msi - kensai111, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thank god, an all platform release finally. I've been envious of the mac only version for quite some time.
- tepidpond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you can find a store that'll let you purchase and return any number of DVDs ... be sure and let us know.
- gr8one, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Handbrake saved the day for me when I needed to extract some video clips for a multimedia presentation. Based on my previous experiences with attempting to rip DVDs, I envisioned hours of work. I discovered HandBrake and was literally done in half an hour.
- Dundasbro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What a great deal! I am seriously interested in purchasing this product!
/not - stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish they would post Linux x86_64 and Linux PPC binaries...
- dugem1, on 01/26/2008, -0/+1That's great find

http://jeniya.info - jdillingham, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A damn good piece of software. It makes DVD ripping/re-encoding oh so easy.
- dancandigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2nvr mind. :) figured it out.
- ne0g, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1is it legal (while i don't do this practice) to buy a dvd, rip it, and return it, you ARE giving back everything you bought, you just aren't NOT keeping it (doesn't sound legal)
- zjbird, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1im having that same prob
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I downloaded the linux version and extracted the file. i got a CLI file? i'm not sure how to install it? I couldn't find any directions on the site either.
- johnlande360, on 03/17/2008, -0/+0If you'd prefer not go to a blog first here is the link to the Handbrake site.
Download the latest freeware, shareware and demo software arranged by categories, including screenshots, descriptions, ratings, reviews and direct download links.
Free Software Downloads: http://www.freedownloads32.com - Reno582, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Soon to come Xbox 360 Profile?
- fuzzbox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Did they do something to the encoder for the sake of making it faster that made the image darker?
I just encoded a DVD into MP4 using Handbrake 0.7.1a5 (my old standby) and then did it with this new version, and the picture is significantly darker, and even a bit blurrier using 8. I checked to make sure the settings were identical, and they were.
Anyone else find the same thing? - dancandigg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1so now i have an error message at the install that says: "Handbrake can not be installed on systems with .NET Framework version smaller than 2.0." Whazzat?
- antitab, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"DVD Shrink works just as well."
DVD Shrink and Handbrake have completely different focuses. At least make it a valid comparison and say "MeGUI works just as well". Which is true, for the most part. - alphaeno, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1dvd shrink is a great dvd back-up program
- drakethegreat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5If only it went both ways. Its a Mac program program ported to Linux and WIndows. You rarely see Windows software ported to anything else, seems far too much Windows software is made by ignorant programmers.
- MikeOSX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2DVD Shrink works just as well.
- jinu123nyc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Excellent program for watching DVD's on the go.
- mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I used this back when I had a Mac. I sold the Mac because I just didn't like it, but I've yet to find another good dvd ripper that I like. Glad this is multi-platform now.
- abid786, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2@mfratt (#6318708) said: "I used this back when I had a Mac. I sold the Mac because I just didn't like it..."
That's why I hesitate to buy a Mac. I don't want to waste a good 1500 dollars only to realize that I hate the OS. - matt5108, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I like it when great programs support all platforms, it makes thing so much simpler. Especially when they are free.
I've noticed free software usually supports much more (PS3, Zune, AppleTV) -
