Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
HandBrake 0.9.4 inherits speed, size and quality improvements from developments in the x264 video encoding engine, but also incorporates a number of changes to its own code.
These include support for soft subtitles (subtitles can be incorporated in the output file without rendering them permanently into the video track), live preview (so you can test the settings on a short clip), improved support for transport streams, and improved audio-video synchronisation.
UI changes target the desired quality rather than file size, and simplify the parameter presets.
HandBrake 0.9.4 also incorporates a different DVD reading library (libdvdnav) compared with its predecessors, and various other libraries have been updated. The Mac version allows the use of Core Audio for encoding AAC audio with "far superior" quality compared with the standard libraac library's output.
The 64-bit builds of HandBrake 0.9.4 are said to give a performance improvement of around 10% compared with 32-bit versions.
AVI, OGG/OGM and XviD support has been removed ("good riddance" says the project team to AVI).
In all, more than 1000 changes have been made since version 0.9.3.
HandBrake 0.9.4 for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux can be downloaded here.
