A couple of days ago I downloaded Handbrake for my laptop. It was a while since I’ve downloaded it last and I nonchalantly downloaded a 64-bit version, thinking nothing of it. Turns out 64-bit handbrake is brand spanking new.
I’ve been spending a lot of time ripping my DVDs lately, trying to get the on my Mac Pro so I can stream them to my Mac Mini attached to my TV. The college chic of having a billion DVDs on a shelf is getting a little stale. If you need to get your DVDs in a digital format so you can put your discs in storage than handbrake is the first thing you need to take a look at, it’s the gold standard in DVD ripping on the Mac.
The 64-bit version has a bunch of interesting new features that are a little too complicated for me to grasp, but if you’re into the minutae details of video archiving then you’ll benefit from checking out their change log.

Don’t forget you’ll also need the 64-bit version of VLC, which is not currently available except in the nightly beta builds.
