Handbrake 0.9.4 Review (Video Transcoder For Windows, Mac OS X & Linux)

I’ve long considered Handbrake on of the best DVD ripping applications available, and after a year long wait, it’s finally been upgraded to version 0.9.4, complete with over a whopping thousand changes. I tested Handbrake 0.9.4 on Mac OS X, specifically the 64-bit version which promises a 10% performance boost over the 32-bit version. If you’re a Windows user, you won’t have a 64-bit option, as this is only available on Mac OS (including Leopard) and Linux.

If you’ve used Handbrake before, you’ll be familiar with many of the features, but there’s things you’ll have to get used to in the latest version. Firstly, you can now include subtitle tracks in your rips without having to hardcode them in to the movie, so you can choose whether or not to have them available when watching. As well as this, there’s also support for .srt files which you can download from the internet.

MKV2VOB Review (MKV HD Video File Converter)

Being a PS3 owner can be fairly frustrating at times. Particularly, when you are trying to watch movies or TV shows. There are so many restrictions it can drive you insane. Yes, I’ve heard of programs such as TVersity which stream directly from your PC to PS3, however, unfortunately for me my PS3 is positioned in a place where it cannot access the wireless network and I simply refuse to have Ethernet cables sprawled all around my home. So what should I do? Well, a number of months ago I stumbled across a program called MKV2VOB.

At the time, I wasn’t too impressed so after not too long, I gave up. But just recently, I decided to give it another try after hearing about a major new update. And now, finally, I have the solution to all my problems with the PS3.
