Put down that cocktail — Handbrake 0.9.5 was released on Monday! This new release adds presets for iPhone 4, iPad, and second generation Apple TV. It also adds the ability to edit queued jobs, support for SSA subtitles and some other goodies. Check out the presets below:
I couldn’t get the update just by using the Handbreak > Check for updates menu, so I think you’ll have to go to their site and download the files directly.
It is available as both 32-bit and 64-bit for OSX 10.5 and 10.6 on Intel Macs but the PPC support isn’t included with this newer version. You can still get and keep the PPC version though.
