HandBrake 0.9.4
A year after its last significant update, version 0.9.4 of the open-source video conversion program HandBrake has been released. The update incorporates the latest version of the x264 video encoder, offers 64-bit builds with 10 percent greater performance for most Intel-based Macs, adds soft subtitles which users can turn on or off, and includes a new live preview window. Also, input support has been improved for DVD and non-DVD sources, encoding now shifts to maintain a set quality rather than maintaining a constant bit rate, and unnecessary encoding presets have been eliminated.

Note there is an issue with DVD sources on 64-bit Handbrake. VLC is required for this and the VLC 64-bit edition got pulled for bugs.
Workaround is to use the 32-bit VLC and the 32-bit Fairmount. This mounts the DVD in a way that 64-bit Handbrake can access it.
