HandBrake Updates to 0.9.4 with Over 1,000 Changes, 64-Bit Support

Is this for the Windows version or the Mac version?

A while back, someone mentioned that they thought the Windows version ALSO ripped directly from DVD to file (without needing an intermediary program for stripping out copy protection, etc.). I tried to use HB for Windows that way and it didn't work. Anyone know if this version does that?

By the way, as an aside, I had an email exchange with someone from Catalyst, which is program that DOES rip DVD to file straight and was on promotion for $10 I think. It seemed good; but I haven't had a chance to download the trial or play with it; and I don't know if (given the season) I will right now. It does sound very easy and 'one-touch.'

As you can see HERE, it is for all platforms. I don't know about ripping as I've never used Handbrake.

My link in the first post:

Windows/Mac/Linux: If you ever have to rip DVDs to your desktop or convert video, you know how awesome open-source encoder HandBrake is. Well, it's just been updated with over 1,000 changes since the last release, including 64-bit support.

Thanks for the heads-up, jig! I hadn't noticed the upgrade. Particularly interesting is the promise that the constant quality feature has been improved to the point that two passes are no longer needed. I'm a bit skeptical about this, so I'm running some tests to see if I can notice any difference.

Another interesting feature is that now soft subtitles can be added (instead of burned or hard coded on the image).
