I recently upgraded from version 8 to 9.0.3.8.
In version 8 you could queue up the same Blu-ray title to be ripped to multiple formats. I used to do this for an HD version to stream to my PS3, and an iPAD version for portability. What I liked about doing this in version 8 is that I could queue the multiple format rips and walk away, come back and both formats would be complete - directly from the Blu-Ray.
In version 9 I'm having difficulty figuring out how to select the same title on a Blu-Ray for conversion to multiple formats. I'll configure my HD rip, and then try to select a new profile and all it does is change the settings for the first task in queue. In version 8 selecting a new profile auto-generated a new task in the queue, leaving the original task in place. I really miss this functionality. I also really miss being able to change conversion settings from the task queue.
I know the first answer I'm going to get is "go back to version 8" so let me throw my curve ball. I'm now doing these conversions for an AppleTV device, and I've found that the profile in version 9 is much better suited for that device (audio issues in other threads not withstanding - which I'm not going to get into here) than the version 8 profiles I've found. I'm also not a fan of ripping to AppleTV then running a convert to iPAD from the resulting file- it lowers the vid quality considerably and I still have to come back and kick off a totally new task. I really just want to set 2 rips directly from the same title.
