As a follow-up to a recent post on how to get video, specifically DVDs, onto your iPod, here’s a tutorial on how to use Handbrake in a one-step process.
HandBrake is a GPL software that can decrypt and convert a DVD into a MPEG-4 video file in .mp4, .avi, or .ogm containers. Originally created for BeOS, it has been created for Mac OS X and Linux. It is very popular for its ease of use, fast encoding, and excellent layout and set of features.
A Windows port was created, but the project was abandoned as the creator, titer, has begun to devote more time to his other project, Transmission. However, a new project has been started to create a real GUI for a Windows version of HandBrake in the official HandBrake for Windows forums. The current working GUI (as of January 2007, version 2.0) converts DVDs well and as it should, but the project is far from the completeness of the Mac OS X or BeOS versions. (wikipedia)
