Handbrake 0.9 Out The Door

One of my favorite video converting application for the Mac, Handbrake, has just been upgraded to 0.9.0. New in this version is a “re-envisioned” interface for the Mac OS X and a completely rebuilt UI for Windows. Picture quality has also been improved quite a bit through some neat new effect; filters and deinterlacing techniques. Overall speed has also been bumped up, and you no longer have to customize encoding settings if you want to convert video for the iPhone, thanks to new presets that make you life easier.

In total nearly 300 changes were made for the new version, so head on over and give it a whirl.
