HandBrake now encodes any video file, not just DVDs
There are a handful of other changes as well, including a GUI for the Linux version, improved video quality, and more control over audio tracks. Queued jobs are also saved to your disk so that if Handbrake crashes, you'll be able to recover the list of queued jobs without starting from scratch.
HandBrake 0.9.3 is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X with Intel and PPC versions available for OS X 10.5.

Misleading headline? I was under the impression that it no longer convert directly from DVD anymore.

It actually can still convert from both standard & commercial (CSS encrypted) DVDs; ripping commercial DVDs requires that the free VLC Player (http://videolan.org) be installed on the same Mac, and Handbrake will use the decss library from VLC to assist the DVD decode. Previous versions of Handbrake had the decss code built-in.
Windows users will need DVD43, AnyDVD or the like to accomplish the same task with Handbrake.

@Michael Rose: ohh so in Windows its just the css decryption. I thought it meant dvd copying in General. Thanks for clarifying :)

How is it misleading? "Not just" isn't the same as "Just not".

WoooOOOO!! It's a Christmas miracle! At Thanksgiving!
Seriously, though, I use Handbrake for all my DVDs and really needed something to batch-convert MythTV recordings with similar easy-to-quality ratio. I'm thrilled about this!

Unfortunately Handbrake appears not to be able to handle ISO. One reason to buy DVDFab. VLC can play them. I rip all my dvd's as ISO's then use DVDfab to create a smaller file my Xbox360 can play.

I use HandBrake on Linux and it handles ISOs perfectly.

I've tried several times in the past to do this with HandBrake, assuming it already did. I was quite glad to read that now it really does.

Though it can convert videos. I think Visualhub and iSkysoft are better.

VisualHub, the popular video converter on Mac OS X have now gone open source. They also has got new names, Film Redux (VisualHub) and PunyVid (iSquint). As you may or may not know, the developer, Techspanion has closed shop and after an outcry from fans, it has released the source code.

Looks like they forgot to include the new Microsoft Vista Media Center TV Pack 2008 .wtv file format...
So the headline should include "almost".
