Handbrake/ other dvd rippers
I use handbrake on my macbook and it works wonders, but the new version for windows doesnt seem to work. Im ripping all my dvds for college and putting them on a external harddrive and if i get the old family pc working to rip dvds it'll go twice as fast. I know, i know this is a repetitive question on appleinsider but does anyone know how to get handbrake to work for windows or of a decent windows ripper. The only reason i ask is because i dont ever use the pc so im unfamiliar with any and googling isnt working well
thanks
thanks

and good luck to you. Report back if it works
The only two things that I changed was that I turned on the 2-pass encoding & I changed the average bitrate (kbps) to 1000. I'm not sure if this is the optimum settings for the iPhone though. Hopefully they will have an update with an iPhone preset.
Watch what version you are using. The 0.8 b doesn't work on Mac anymore. It rips for a few minutes then stops. Known issue and they are telling everyone, in a round about way, to go back to 0.7x.
0.8.5 b works just fine for me.

Not on my 24" iMac CD2. Who knows... I wished it worked for me.

guys, we are talking about windows here!
Is there a way to apply "album artwork" to one of these converted DVDs like one can do with CD albums? So far it is showing a stillframe from the beginning of the movie as the album artwork.

It might be nice to add extra graphics to the album artwork for a movie (like you can for CDs) but I wanted to follow-up that after iTunes converted the movie it automatically put the title graphic of the movie as the album artwork. Is there a way to put alternate/additional images for a movie's album artwork?

Highlight the movie in itunes by hitting i to bring up the info panel (or File> Get Info).
Then go to google and search for a nice juicy dvd cover of the movie (or any that you like) and C (copy) the picture.
Go back to the itunes movie info panel and there you will find the last tab that says "artwork." Click on it and delete the current picture. Click on the now empty white field and simply hit V (paste) to enter your dvd artwork.
This also works for any music in itunes and for any file symbol on your computer (you can change the file icons the exact same way!)
It's awesome in coverflow with tons of movies. Just wished coverflow worked in frontrow.
hope this helps!

The shortcuts (_) would be *control __* instead on a windows machine

I just got a new iMac 24" and I can't get Handbrake to work either. It works fine on my Powerbook G4 but now on the iMac it detects DVDs but says "no valid title found" after it scans all of the titles.
Do you know how to make it work?
This could maybe go in general discussion. it doesn't really belong in applications, because he is looking for a Windows app.
I suggest looking at WinTel forums.
Handbrake on the Mac is a tool that I was shocked at when I switched. Been looking for something like that for years.
