HandBrake description Download
HandBrake is a GPL'd multi-platform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter.

HandBrake has been originally available on the BeOS platform, but now has been ported over to MacOS X and to GNU/Linux.

Here are some key features of "HandBrake":

Supported sources:
· Any DVD-like source: VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD (encrypted or unencrypted, but protection methods other than CSS are not supported and must be handled externally with third-party software), and some .VOB and .TS files
· PAL or NTSC
· AC-3, DTS, LPCM or MPEG audio tracks

Outputs:
· File format: MP4, MKV, AVI or OGM
· Video: MPEG-4 or H.264 (1 or 2 passes or constant quantizer/rate encoding)
· Audio: AAC, MP3, Vorbis or AC-3 pass-through (supports encoding of several audio tracks)

Misc features:
· Chapter selection
· Basic subtitle support (burned into the picture)
· Integrated bitrate calculator
· Picture deinterlacing, cropping and scaling
· Grayscale encoding


Limitations:

· Does not handle DTS audio tracks
· Does not handle single VOB files or any other file format



What's New in This Release:

· AC3 in MP4 support
· Multi-track audio support for Apple devices
· Better handling of audio discontinuities
· More flexible, "loose" anamorphic
· Variable frame rate encoding
· MP4 optimization for progressive downloads
· Dynamic range compression for encoding from AC3 audio
· Ability to encode an audio stream and pass it through at the same time
· iPhone-compatible anamorphic (pasp atom)
· Robust program and transport stream support
· Better handling of DVD read errors from invalid VOB units
· Detects and works around missing end of cell markers
· Recovers from loss of signal in a stream
· Drops subtitles less often
· Keeps chapter markers in better sync and prevents duplicates
· Better handling of B-Frames
· Tunes FIFO sizes by CPU count
· Finally squashes the bug that cut off the end of movies
· Preset changes
· Standardizes on standard out for progress and standard error for everything else.
· Correct channel counts when passing AC3 audio to Matroska
· Tag MP4 files as encoded with HandBrake
· No more merging short chapters
· Newer copies of x264,
· VBV 2-pass patch for x264
· Sets keyframes for x264 by frame rate.
· Support for >2GB MKV files in Linux
· Code audio languages in a way QuickTime understands
· Better subtitle positioning
· Fewer crashes in 2-pass encoding
· Leopard Only
· Sparkle
· Reads .eyetv files as well as .dvdmedia files
· Much better queue
· More white space
· Code restructuring
· Activity window logging, complete with a "black box recorder" for crashes
· Ability to open a single title for a DVD instead of scanning the whole thing
· Warns people when they try to queue up two files with the same name
· Maintains picture filter states between jobs
· .xib Interface Builder files SVN can track
· Switches to NSImageView for previews, so no more useless OpenGL effects
· Temporary loss of localizations for foreign languages (the old system was broken anyway)
· Separate filter settings for every queued job... [ read full changelog ]
