Thanks for another update!

As for the DVD rip, Handbrake supports a ton of format options, do we have access to any of these? or if not, could you post what options you've programmed in?

Right now the Normal and High profiles are supported. And the output format can be mkv, mp4, m4v. This is a new feature so give it time to grow if more is needed. I suggested a custom command-line so that some of us that require more settings can just enter our own to fit our needs.

Note: Another change in this release is that log files no longer include empty folders in it's log. This makes for a clean log file and is easier to read for us to troubleshoot. Thanks Tom for taking that suggestion!
