Why use RipIt when HandBrake will do DVD's in one shot?

Have you ever tried RipIt then Handbrake vs. just straight from DVD through Handbrake?

Here's why I ask - Handbrake can read RipIt disc files, and it has a queue. Meaning, I can spin the DVD movie as fast as my DVD drive will go, copy the disc to a file on my fast hard drive using RipIt, then fill up the Handbrake queue, then walk away for a long time. Maybe spend half a day converting to disc files, then use Handbrake to convert them down to iTunes compatible formats.

Or, that MacRumors post looks awesome. A lot of work, but really awesome.

No I have not. How many free rips do you get with the free version. HandBrake is free for now. May go the
way of MakeMKV and start charging who knows. MakeMKV has a 30 day limit. If RpitIt will do Blu-Rays then
I might consider buying it but I want an all-in-one Blu-Ray ripper and encoder. MakeMKV isn't the easiest
software I've ever used, you have to uncheck the parts you don't want and that can get confusing when you
have 2 of the same size movie files and 2 or 3 sets of English subtitles.

Just got half way through the linked thread, "I like to use RipIt these days - you get 10 free goes."

Here's another thread by the same poster on ripping:

sounds like it might be cheaper to just buy the titles available from itunes & rip the rest.

I hired a neighbor's kid for this task; he will be doing this for $2.00 a title (I set him up with 3 fast PCs for this task and he should be able to do 6 total per hour). My client agrees to $2.50 a movie for the project as quite a few are not available in iTunes. He narrowed down the DVDs to about 300 so we should be able to get this done in 2 weeks (if there are no hiccups).
