WHAT A SHOW!! Should be required listening for all Mac observers. Very important to know that T2 is a third-rate transcoder. Sure it’s fast, but if you only do one movie at a time as you buy a disc… T2 might not me your best option. Not that I think Handbrake will let me select which chip transcodes for me, but it’s important to realise what you’re getting for your investment. Jeff we miss you, but Bryan is kicking bottom so far.
