    For those of you who can't handle the pineapple/cocktail logo (I sort of like it, personally), Achmkiii over at DeviantArt has put together an EXCELLENT replacement icon for you!

    Looks like a good programme when it works, however, I was unable to get it to work for myself.

    Very efficient converter for Apple TV in its 64bits version.

    It’s simple just click on one of presets, also you can choose everything manually.

    I love it. Probably the best ripper for the Mac. I use it for getting movies formated to fit my iPod Touch and it brings those file sizes down a lot too.

    Video converting for the average idiot. Honestly, I don't know much about video files except for the names of some file types and that I want to put my videos on my iPod. Handbrake lets me do that without having to pay a bunch of money or having to spend hours reading tutorials on the web.

    Packed with options, handy presets - though it could do with more being added for common devices. Interface gets the job done though it can be confusing for newbies.

    Excellent software but they need to focus on creating new presets.

    I'm frigging impressed!

    This thing works well! File or Disc, converts high quality files into a quicktime format that can be processed by high end video editing suites! Cool name too.

    Slow as dirt, but converting high quality DVD is always a pain in the arse unless its on a dedicated fast system

    free! cant beat free. Def needs some acceleration for the next stage of mastery!
