The new version of Handbrake is fantastic. While Mediafork 0.8 fixed back-end bugs, Handbrake 0.8.5 adds features; Presets, chapters, 6-channel AAC Audio, 2-pass h.264 iPod encoding and quite a few more.
Still the Robust, but Clunky interface, but it is simple enough for the average user to use.

A tremendous deal. Now all I have to do is buy a Hi-Fi (er...no).
Misjudged the marketplace, eh Griffin?

$10.00? Wow, that so cheap it makes me want to buy one, even though I don’t have an iPod Hi-Fi!

I ordered one. The shipping is only $3.00. Now I need to find a cheap iPod Hi-Fi to put in it.
