New Handbrake snapshot, closer to 0.9.4…

The Handbrake devs have released the second snapshot for the upcoming 0.9.4 release. Whats new this time around?

[Edit 11/24: The final version has been released]

The new download page is here, and there are some new features that have landed since the last snapshot. First is better support for subtitles (importing from SRT files), as well as closed captioning support. There are many minor fixes as well, including subtle option reductions like the removal of the output extension on the Windows GUI (so you don’t have to know what the difference between MP4 and M4V extensions are).

What isn’t a part of this release was the recent enhancements to x264 – the MB-tree enhancement. The Handbrake devs rolled back to a previous version of x264 until more testing can be done and the enhancement can be refined some. Hopefully it makes it into the final 0.9.4 release.

Remember that these snapshot releases aren’t supported, they’re only for you to play with and find bugs (and report them).
