DVD Ripping to the Xoom: Handbrake
There are a few movies I love. I buy these and would like to keep a copy with me on the Xoom….but I don’t have a Bluray player on my PC yet. I generally find good pre-order prices on the Bluray/DVD bundle packs. It was only $2 more for Captain America.
I went through a lot of trial error until I found the right application and the right settings. I’ve discovered that Handbrake seems to work best. Once of the best reasons: it’s free! I tell it explicitly to use 1200×800 resolution, use the AAC audio codec and have it save to an .m4v file.
On a completely side note, I found a series of really nice sunrise photos of Mt. Ranier linked from the Neatorama blog. I added several of these photos to the list of rotating images in Wallpaper Changer.
