Handbrake for Windows

Do you have a ton of DVDs? Want to watch them on your iPod? For years, the best DVD ripping program, Handbrake, was only available for Mac. But the unthinkable has happened. Handbrake has been ported for Windows. It’s still in the experimental beta stages, but you can download a PC version of Handbrake now.

If you are unfamiliar with Handbrake, it’s a GPL’d multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter.

Features:

  • Can encode directly from DVDs (even encrypted ones) or from VIDEO_TS folders
  • Supports AC3, LPCM and MPEG audio tracks
  • Outputs MP4, AVI or OGM files
  • Outputs AAC, MP3 or Vorbis audio
  • Supports 2-pass encoding
  • Supports encoding of two audio tracks
  • Includes a bitrate calculator
  • Supports picture deinterlacing, cropping and scaling

PC users looking for a super DVD-to-iPod easy solution should use DVD Copy by InterVideo.

Update: HandBrake 0.9.3

    Handbrake is open source and noncommercial, it is difficult to use for beginner, lack support and weak stability. HandBrake attend technology and ignore user experience.

    Is there an online set of instructions for HandBrake for Windows? I have downloaded the MethodShop tutorial, and since screens do not seem to match, I am guessing I need a Windows set of instructions, not Mac. Thanks for any help.
