MediaFork is the successor to HandBrake. I downloaded version 0.8.0, public beta 1, today.

I’m experimenting converting a DVD using the following settings:

Preferences

• Use iPod/iTunes friendly (.m4v) file extension for MP4 output files
• Reset picture width to 640 when x264 (iPod) encoder is selected
