HandBrake is a DVD ripping utility for Mac OS X. It allows you to shrink the size of the DVD video while minimizing the loss the video quality. You can make mp4 and avi files including H.264 that Apple has been pushing hard. Subtitles are also supported. 2-pass encoding setting tries best to keep the quality of the video. Above all, it’s free.
So, nothing to complain? Well, the icon. The icon of the HandBrake isn’t nice-looking. See the pic below:
However, Model Concept offers alternative icons for HandBrake and HandBrake Lite. Lite version is dedicated for making the size of the video for 5th generation iPod. The icons are way coolder than the originals. Here’s the pic of the alternative icon.
Now, It’s more pleasurable to see HandBrake icon in the Dock while I’m ripping DVDs. You know, ripping DVD takes time. You need to be comfortable while you are waiting for HandBrakd to finish the task.
Download the replacement icons if you use HandBrake. There’s nothing to lose.

The replacement icon is a
The replacement icon is a lot better than the repugnant original, although when in the process of ripping a DVD, HandBrake reverts back to the original icon, with the red progress bar underneath. Is there any way to rectify this?

That doesn't happen to me.
That doesn’t happen to me. Try putting the icns file inside the application bundle/package.
You can open up the package, and replace old with new.
Opening up bundles is done by the same as the one I blogged at http://samuraicoder.net/soramoyo_weather_widget_for_japan.
Model Concept down
Since the linked site is down, are there any mirrors around where we can still get the icon from?

I much prefer the original
I much prefer the original icon to be honest with you all. Does it really need to look literally like it’s function to make you happy?
