Instant Handbrake: DVD to iPod conversion

Not long ago, I detailed the shareware program ViddyUp, a utility for converting video files to iPod-compatible formats. Now there’s an easy way to convert your DVDs as well. Instant HandBrake is a branch of the free HandBrake app, both of which convert DVD format video to MPEG-4. Instant HandBrake, however, is specifically designed to convert DVD titles to iPod.
I need not remind U.S. readers about the legal issues surrounding the breaking of DVD copy protection, so keep that in mind while you’re converting your favorite movies to pocket sized format. Legalities aside, Instant HandBrake will create both H.264 and MPEG-4 files, either cropped or scaled to fit the 320x240 iPod screen. Download the beta build here and get converting!
