Any tips on keeping the temperature down on my 14 inch iBook G4? I am running Handbrake and it seems to be getting quite warm.

When you run Handbrake, your computer gets REALLY hot!! I have this program called smcFanControl which lets you control the fans on your mac. You can make it really fast(and loud!) or just keep it low so it would remain equally cooled. I don't know if it will work with an iBook because it's only Mac Intel. Even if that app doesn't work, try keeping it near a fan or cool air when copying DVD's and keep something like MenuTemperature to make sure that your iBook doesn't overheat and die(!!).
