I like the all in one approach that Handbrake takes, but it is very unstable on my systems. Some movies rip just fine on my Mac Pro and yield very nice results. My problems is that a lot of movies cause it to crash at the end of the process, wasting a lot of processing time. I tried the Windows version (with AnyDVD) on another PC and while didn't crash, it either won't recognize some movies or if it did, I ended up with either an entire jerky movie or movies with an entire blocky green video. This is with the ATV preset and 2 pass encoding and turbo first pass checked and no other changes to settings.
It's hard to complain about a free application like Handbrake, but I just can't get good results out of it. Since I don't see others complaining about it, it must be something about my systems - or me! Has anyone used any other all in one tools (open source or commercial) that they can recommend?
