What's the remaining imperfections?

Handbrake 1.0.0

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate 4.9.1.0

1. It is lacking in the human interface niceties that most of us have come to expect in easy-to-use software. It does the job it claims to do but it is not very pleasant to use.

2. Can't convert protected Blu-ray/DVD

3. No NVENC and AMDAPP support

4. It doesn't allow remuxing/ stream copy features (which with modern HW players it's an useful feature as they have the capability to play optimized video for many codecs and resolutions, but probably fail on variety of containers support, or just the audio needs to be transcoded so no need to touch the video)

1. Still can't rip Blu-ray/DVD to ISO imges.

2. Can convert VP9 video to H.265 but can't transcode H.265 video to VP9.
