The introduction of a 64-bit version is good news for those of us using true 64-bit multi-core processors, though the performance increase is a fairly modest 10 percent. I’ll just assume it’s all very swish and futuristic and good for my rips. It also adds the ability to include multiple subtitle tracks to exported video and a new “live preview” for viewing the likely outcome of an export before committing to a lengthy rip.Īccording to the release notes on the Handbrake website, the latest version includes new features like “macroblock tree rate control” and “weighted P-Frame prediction.” I’ve absolutely no idea what any of that means, and although they do provide links to explanatory articles, it made my head swim.
The latest release, Handbrake 0.9.4, includes support for Snow Leopard, and is also available in 64-bit editions for both Leopard and Snow Leopard. For many years, it has served as the single easiest way to get my movies off-of DVD discs and onto my iPods, iPhones and even my PSP. In addition, DVDs can be converted into a number of formats, resolutions and aspect ratios. (Contrary to the outright lies of major motion picture studios, there’s nothing wrong with having digital backups of movies you already own).
Handbrake is a very handy (pun intended) DVD-ripping utility that converts DVDs to self-contained video files that can be played back on a computer or mobile device. Handbrake is undoubtedly one of those essentials.
#HANDBRAKE FOR MAC LEOPARD INSTALL#
Beyond that, there are a handful of “essential” apps most Mac owners install on a new machine within minutes of booting it up for the first time. When it comes to personal information management, entertainment and the Internet, it’s got all the basics covered.
