Dec 10, 2018 - Various Handbrake not working problems puzzle you? Don't worry; this tutorial. 3Click 'RUN' to start to rip copy protected DVD on your Mac. Feb 24, 2012 - VLC 2.0 is awesome, but if you've tried to rip DVDs with Handbrake after installing it on a Mac, you've probably found that it no longer works.

Another issue with Handbrake. Seems that some of the DVD are encoded or protected.

Though Handbrake copies the images are muddled due to digital format being patchy. I noticed that Handbrake mentioned another download due to a problem with the DVD and Handbrake, but now I cannnot find that message again. Think it was an added code to open the protection of my own DVD's so that Handbrake could copy. Trying convert to MP.4 so I don't have to carry 14 DVD around when I travel especially since the MBP Retina has no optical drive attached. Thanks for any help. Think the message was something about LL.

•: This is an open source media player that can play back many different types of audio and video file formats, including DVD. VLC is different than the DVD player that Apple bundles with your Mac in that it can pass the DVD data to other applications. The DVD player included with a Mac is primarily just for viewing DVDs, not extracting the video data. You can download from the developer's website. • HandBrake: Another open source application, HandBrake is a transcoder that can convert audio and video from one format to another. This makes it a pretty good choice for converting DVDs to a format better attuned for use on your iPod, iPhone, AppleTV, or iPad, or just to store the video on your Mac.

You can download from the developer's website. One thing to note about the HandBrake download: The current 64-bit version will operate on OS X from version 10.7 on up to the newer versions of the macOS. If you are using an older version of OS X, check the archive section of the download page for 32-bit versions of the app. Install the Software. • Insert a DVD you wish to copy into your Mac.

If DVD Player starts up automatically, quit the application. • Launch HandBrake, located at /Applications/. • HandBrake will display a dropdown sheet asking which Volume should be opened.

Select the DVD from the list in the Open windows sidebar and then click Open. • HandBrake does not support ripping copy-protected media which many DVD's make use of. If your DVD is not copy protected, you can have Handbrake scan the media. • HandBrake will spend a little time analyzing the you selected. When it's done, it will display the DVD's name as the Source in its main window. • Select Preferences from the HandBrake menu. • Click the General tab in the Preferences window.

• If you haven't already, insert the DVD you wish to copy to your Mac and launch HandBrake. • HandBrake will display a dropdown sheet asking which Volume should be opened. Select the DVD from the list, and then click Open. • HandBrake's main window will appear. After HandBrake spends a few moments analyzing the selected DVD, the DVD's name will appear as the Source in HandBrake's main window. • Choose the title to copy.

The Title dropdown menu will be filled in with the DVD's longest title; this is usually the main title for the DVD. HandBrake can only create a copy of a single title on a DVD.

Of course, you can run HandBrake multiple times if you want all of the DVD titles. In our example, we will assume you only want the main movie on the DVD and not any of the extras. • Choose a destination. This is the file that will be created when the copy is made. You can use the suggested file name, or use the 'Browse' button to select another location to store the destination file and create a new name.

Click on the 'Continue' button on the dialog box that appears.
