Everybody swears by HandBrake as the free, open source tool for ripping DVDs. But every time I’ve used it, it hasn’t been able to rip movies. The trick, it seems, is to also install DVD43, which runs in the background waiting for you to stick in a DVD, at which point it strips off the copy protection. Voilà, Beetlejuice to Amelia’s iPod.
Hi
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is my weblog. It's mostly links to stuff I find interesting (here are some of my favorites), but some stuff is mine. I also created Listology in the previous millennium (raised it from a pup but I stopped playing with it and I feel bad so I'm giving it away to a good home), and the fitness weblog Lean & Hungry Fitness, which is gone, subsumed, but it was a cool domain while it lasted.

I've turned off comments, but I'm not a complete recluse. I like email (feedback, tips, suggestions, etc.). I am also, tentatively, on Twitter.
