However, users should be aware that since v1.4 the "iTunes Compatible" preset re-encodes movies before adding metadata to it. This is not acceptable, for myself and plenty of other users.

If you use Handbrake to encode movies and would like to _just_ add metadata, use iFlicks v1.2.3. If you use v1.4 (or higher), you might as well not use Handbrake.

I personally use Handbrake for most of my rips, but if I ever set out to rip my entire collection, I'll probably shell out $24.95 for RipIt from The Little App Factory. It's the fastest and easiest DVD ripper I've used.

I haven't tried it myself, but I'm sure you could use RipIt, Automator, and iFlicks together to automate the entire process.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13490?rss#comments_17283 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 14:12:31 EST http://tidbits.com/article/13490#comments_17283
