Although the author does tend to go off a bit, and make it kinda personal, I think he's right.

He had to make some hard choices about which legacy support to maintain. http://handbrake.fr/ (http://handbrake.fr/)
The latest builds use a different DVD menu read library and not longer support Xvid or Ogg/OGM.

If you just follow the navigation menus on a DVD and don't violate any UOP's, the disk will read, no matter how badly the Navpacks were f'ed with to make them difficult to rip. Just play it and dump the stream and then convert to H.264

I'm glad he is still around and hasn't been busted down by the studios/DRM police.
