Everybody's favorite DVD ripper/converter, Handbrake, is back with a vengeance. The most significant feature for this release is the support for 5.1 AC3 surround sound for MP4 files, which is supported by the Apple TV. Now, you too can get full-surround sound from your ripped movies on your Apple TV. No need to spend money on HD rentals to get that feature.

Other notable features of Handbrake 0.9.2 include multi-track support for "iDevices" and anamorphic video support for iPhones. And, of course, bug fixes and faster and snappier version of x264 encoder are all included for FREE.

Mac users take note.  The new version only runs on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Thanks, leonysmile. Actually, I haven't even upgraded to Leopard yet. I guess, now is a good time.

This is awesome news. I tried it last night and it works perfectly. Dolby 5.1 finally! I was using Visual Hub to do this but I like Handbrake's interface better. Now all we need is DTS.

I tried 6 different DVD's, and all the resulting files were unreadable by QuickTime, and as such, my AppleTV too.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but so far for me it's all cr*p !
