Popular open source DVD ripping app HandBrake has been available for Mac and  Linux for some time now, and has finally been ported to Windows. HandBrake is a slick all-in-one ripping app that will encode your ripped video in MPEG-4 or H.264 (MP4, AVI, or OGM) and has a great built-in calculator that takes the fuss out of choosing a bitrate, which is especially great if your video's destination is an iPod or PSP. Hit the HandBrake forums to get the Windows release.

So what's the deal with the logo? The FAQ says "don't ask."
