Handbrake

By Scott McNulty

One of the largest take aways, for me,  from Andy's keynote is Handbrake. Andy says, 'This does to DVD's what iTunes does to CD's,' and it is very cool. What exactly does that mean? Give it 6 hours, or so, and your favorite DVD and it will convert all the contents of that DVD into a Quicktime file (Mpeg 4) that you can put where ever you would like.

But, Scott, why would I want to do this?  Handbrake plus iTunes 4.9's video support = media library on the go (well, if you have a Powerbook that is).

You know, the Beatles were right, the best things in life are free as is Handbrake.
