Handbrake - DVDs to media library

If you have young kids you'll know that DVDs don't last very long before getting scratched, smudged or otherwise rendered unfit for playing.

One of the best solutions is to convert your DVDs to video files and play them on a computer or media player like the WDTV or the Apple TV.

Converting the DVDs to video files is usually the hard part ... until Handbrake came along.

Handbrake is the only application I have found which will consistently convert DVDs to video files ( MP4 is the best format so far ) without hanging, crashing or requiring a dozen steps to start each DVD.

Downloads are available for Windows, Linux and Mac ... give it a shot and start creating your own media library.
