This post was published 2 years 8 months 17 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.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.
Right now the PC version supports:
- 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 encoding of two audio tracks
- Supports picture deinterlacing, cropping and scaling
perfect just what I was looking for
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.
Here is a GUI that is being developed….

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.
