HandBrake 0.9.3

HandBrake 0.9.3 has been released and the good news is that HandBrake is no longer limited to DVDs - it will now accept practically any type of video as a source. This was achieved by tapping into the power of libavcodec and libavformat from the FFmpeg project acording to the release notes.

On the flip side, no more internal DVD decryption. Seems that HandBrake will dynamically load VLC's copy of libdvdcss if you have it in your Applications folder in Mac OS X, and if you're on Linux, and you want to live on the wild side, you can install libdvdcss on your system and get the same effect.

Translation of the last paragraph from nerdese:

"We're not about to stop you from choosing to decrypt DVDs. If you're on a Mac, and you have VLC 0.9.x installed, you won't even notice the internal capability's gone. If you're on Linux, all you have to do is install a library."
