HandBrake <-- Leopard 10.5 support only.
Apple fans will be delighted over:
* Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in MP4 files, for a true DVD experience on the AppleTV and in Perian.
* Multi-track audio support for Apple devices
* iPhone-compatible anamorphic video at its full size
Power users will find:
* Variable frame rate encoding with detelecine filtering
* More flexible, "loose" anamorphic video
* MP4 optimization for progressive web downloads
* Dynamic range compression for encoding from AC3 audio
* Robust program and transport stream support
Speed freaks will squee at:
* A fresher, faster version of x264
* Tuning of FIFO sizes by processor count
And everyone should enjoy the increased stability brought by:
* Better handling of audio discontinuities
* Better handling of DVD read errors
* Work-arounds for missing end-of-cell markers
* Recovery when streams have signal loss
* Better synced chapter markers
* Better handling of B-Frames
* No more cutting off the very ends of films
* No more lost subtitles or chapter markers
* No more crashes in 2-pass encoding
This is an impressive array of new features. So when are they gonna call it 1.0? 
I might actually start encoding some of my DVDs again, now that this is available, especially since managed copy for hi-def seems to be dead in the water, at least for the foreseeable future.

Yes it is. That's the #1 feature that many have been waiting for.
I think that any stuff I'll be encoding will be 5.1-audio AppleTV compatible. The main drawback is that even the next version of the iPhone will be too slow to play them back. However, we can archive the stuff now, and in 3 years when a new version of the iPod/iPhone is out that can handle that video, we'll be ready. In the meantime we can stream the video to our home theatres if we so desire.
Hopefully the new version of x264 is very efficient, and audio sync problems are a thing of the past.
Now I just need to update my main desktop to Leopard. My other computers are Leopard, but my main machine is still on Tiger. Oh and I'll need some more hard disk storage space too.
