HandBrake: DVD to MPEG-4 ripper

HandBrake homepage

I believe this is legal for DVDs you own for personal use only. It is perfectly legal for distributing video of the kids to Grandma.

HandBrake is a GPL'd multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter. HandBrake was originally available on the BeOS, but now has been ported over to MacOS X and to GNU/Linux.

Cute net address. I'm sure "m0k" means something ominous to some people.
