   Reviewing 0.9.5 (Mar 27, 2011)

   I am running 0.9.5 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Service Pack 1 with 12 gig of RAM and a GTX 460 1gig and 266.58 drivers and am having good luck so far with the application.
   
   I am using it to convert DVD rips of TV shows and movies that I own and create versions that will play on our 64 gig 3G iPad 2 and it is working very well overall. I have to manually enable De-Interlacing (set to Slower) but other than that I am using the default settings provided by the iPad preset.
   
   The De-Interlacing does soften the video somewhat, but other than that, the videos come out great. The Animorphic properties are retained and I'm getting a full 480 pixels of vertical resolution in M4V files that play fine with VLC on the PC and read directly into iTunes and sync to the iPad 2 without problems. They look good on the iPad 2 and sound fine as well, each 44 min episode coming in at 450-650 meg depending on the variable compression involved with each.
   
   I'm very glad that this Open Source app is available, because while DVDFab HD Decrypter (the free function portion of the program) works for actually ripping the DVD's to the hard drive, the conversion options of the full program (8.0.8.5 trial) generated out-of-sync audio, playback artifacts, aspect ratio problems and large file sizes.
   
   With HandBrake you can avoid paying through the nose for crap such as the conversion code included in the DVDFab retail and just use the free ripping feature and then put that app away.
   
   Thanks to the programmers for their hard work on what seems a solid new release. There is work yet to be done, and the Queue setup for batch conversions really needs to be refined for ease of use, but on balance, this is one really good app and one that is easy to recommend.

   Works great for me. Stable and easy to use. Often the default settings are all you need to get a fast conversion to mp4 and go. One nice improvement of the latest:
   
   0.9.5 - BluRay disc structure support.
