HandBrake is a multi-threaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter that was originally available on the BeOS but has now been ported over to the MacOS X and to GNU/Linux. All you have to do is pop in a DVD, push a button and you have yourself an instant iPod-ready movie file. Great, right? Except that it's like a Prince Charming cursed to be a frog forever, until some kind-hearted lass would grant that kiss to set him free of the spell. Well, either that or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Phil Ryu, for the sake of metaphors, is the kiss for the HandBrake.  He, along with friend, Tom Stoelwinder, made a very palatable HandBrake icon that would replace the glass of margarita and pineapple icon that came with the HandBrake.
