Featured Editor's Review
Our featured Editor's Review for November is HandBrake.

We live in an interconnected world, each of us having multiple devices to support media content wherever we go. That's why it's surely possible that you may have neglected your DVD collection, allowing it to waste away in a corner somewhere. Why not coax those old titles out from hiding with HandBrake and convert them to a more universal format, like MP4? Ripping laws vary from country to country so consider this when making a "personal use" copy of a CD. It's also worth mentioning that HandBrake steers clear of this legal issue by recommending a third-party program to decrypt commercial DVDs, which installs libdvdcss--an open-source library that can circumvent the Content Scramble System (CSS) used on DVDs. But once you run the recommended installer and download HandBrake, you'll be ready to let it rip! Download HandBrake now.
