A fifth Handbrake snapshot leading up to the 0.9.4 release has been released. This will hopefully be the last snapshot before the official release, probably some time this month. The big fix for this version was fixing soft subtitles – removing bold/italics and limited them to two lines only (due to limitations in playback software).
Since 0.9.3 (almost a year old at this point), performance has improved 20% for 32bit and 30% for 64-bit on a Core 2-generation CPU. Higher performance increases will be seen on Core i5/i7 chips due to advances in the underlying x264 library that Handbrake uses to convert the input video into H.264.
I’ll have a full review of Handbrake 0.9.4 once its released, so be sure to check back.
