quade 4 #2 March 14, 2008 Handbrake In my opinion, far more user friendly since it has some very nice presets for ripping to other devices such as the iPhone and MacTV.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Identify what your needs are, and go fishing. versiontracker.com is a very useful site when searching for software (free or not) "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

As a bonus, it's developed in Sebastian, Florida. Xshelf is an incredibly useful little utility that adds a shelf to a screen edge (hidden when you're not putting stuff on it or taking stuff out) that has saved me much frustration over the past few years. It is inspired by NeXTshelf in NeXTSTEP, which was the predecessor of OS X. I'm not sure why Apple has not re-implemented it into the OS. Perian allows Quicktime to play AVI, DivX, XviD and other video formats. VLC is a freeware media player that started out on Linux. It doesn't have the useful database features of iTunes, and isn't as polished as Quicktime, but it will play just about any file format you can throw at it, DRMed files notwithstanding. I've found many useful freeware apps for my Mac, but these four are likely my most used.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
