   It's my understanding that MediaFork was a fork of HandBrake when its development came to a halt, and now with 0.8.5b1, they've been merged back together. In other words, HandBrake is MediaFork is HandBrake.

   So yeah, use HandBrake.

   Is HandBrake better than MacTheRipper? I've been using a combination of MTR and DVD2OneX to make backups of some of my DVDs to take away to work with me... Is this HandBrake app a better option?

   They serve different purposes. HandBrake is a one-stop-shop (for most DVDs) to rip and encode into .mp4 video. MTR just rips and DVD2OneX can let you futz with fussy chapter markers, bad frames, etc.
