The only problem I have found with the latest version so far is that when I convert a new movie from one drive to another for storage, it will not finish the conversion, in that I either end up with a zero size file, too small a file, or no file at all in the directory on the other drive. I have some more double checking to make sure it's not my particular system though. Anyone else seen this problem with 0.9.3?

When will DVD producers realize that stuffing their DVDs full of FBI warnings, copyright notices in several languages, unskippable splash screens, unskippable previews, etc. will only drive people to rip DVDs even more?

Is there anything or will there be anything soon for High Def movies? I like the ability to rip DVDs to a computer connected to a TV so that I can have all my movies available by remote control and not have to load a DVD when I want to watch a movie I've purchased. However DVDs are low def, so I quit buying them some time ago. As yet, there isn't a good high def solution, so I quit spending my money. Right now the movie companies are losing my business.

Problems with existing media
1. Apple's movies are tied to their hardware/software.
2. Blu-ray movies have only one movie per disk.
3. DVD movies are low res.

Totally sucks. VisualHub is an app that I use on a daily basis for getting movies/videos properly formatted for my iPhone and AppleTV. Glad to hear that Handbrake will be improved to do this as well, but I will definitely miss VisualHub. It was fast, stable, and easy to use. Hopefully someone will see an opportunity and purchase it from them.

Was excited to try out the new version, but it doesn't seem to work for me for protected DVD's even with newest VLC installed. Instead I get a green image, with a little image in the upper left corner. Doesn't work right for me at all. I does seem to create chapter stops correctly though, which .92 does not do for me, even with the setting set. And using other video does work. Hmm, Oh well, looks like I stay with the older version which actually works for me.

Chris, I certainly might have missed it, but I don't see a caveat anywhere that says HB 9.2 requires OS 10.5, and HB 9.3 needs an Intel Mac. That's something we poor old users need to know. The latest MacTheRipper (v3.0r14m) works nicely on my MDD G4 running OS X of the 10.4.11 persuasion.
