Handbrake Now Available for PC’s

For its second mention today, the inevitable has happened. Handbrake has been ported for Windows. It’s still in the VERY experimental beta stages, but now Windows users can partake in easy DVD rippage.

    This gui is not being developed and has not been in years. it will NOT be developed any further.

    Read the website, You’ll find that there has been a new gui project for some time.

    Eh, whatever. The Windows PC folks can use the most excellent DVD Shrink, which I will admit to using all the time via Parallels. Frankly I think it’s an amazing piece of software. I might have to try Handbrake again, but last time I tried it, it just ripped the DVD contents straight to the hard drive, no recompression possible. Then I had to run some other program to recompress the video to fit on a single layer DVD. Then I had to make an ISO from the recompressed video. As a workflow, that sucks!

    I should definitely look into the process again now, but I have yet to find a single thing that I don’t like about DVD Shrink.

    Jason,

    I think you are referring to Mac the Ripper which is just that a DVD Ripper. Handbrake creates high quality compressed (mp4 or xvid) backups.
