I’ve just been teaching someone how to use Handbrake on Windows. 

Although the interface isn’t as pretty as the Mac version, it still seems to do the job.
Overall, i am impressed with the whole of Handbrake, it seems to do ipod/iphone encoding very well. 

I shall inspect in around 2 hours.

Over 2 hours later: The video looks as good as the Mac version. Although the film content (St. Trinians) is rubbish the quality of the rip is very good.
