Handbrake

Wouldn’t it be just lovely to have your entire DVD library backed up onto a digital format, available for viewing at the click of a button?

Luckily, the good folks at Handbrake know this and have come up with this splendid piece of software. Handbrake can scan and convert any DVD into a digital format. At the current release, the supported formats are:

• .mp4

• .avi

• .mkv

• .ogm

There’s the option to fiddle with the properties of the file (bitrate, frame rate, encoder etc.) , but if all of this technical malarkey scares you, also included are a bunch of handy presets for different devices, e.g.: AppleTV, iPhone/iPod Touch, iPod, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360.
