Ripping DVDs with HandBrake 

Handbrake mysteriously stopped including the ability to RIP discs some time ago. They never explained why. Then was happened is that if you also had VLC installed, Handbrake would use the external library from VLC but then that also was removed. The moderators on the Handbrake forum will tell you to go buy commercial software to RIP discs but then you don't need Handbrake. Since Handbrake does give us a lot of compression options, the better way is to install the external libraries yourself.

Hey Nash1a, where did you find a download of that .dll you mentioned for Windows machines? I'm having the same problem you mentioned

Glad you enjoyed the video! Unfortunately, HandBrake only supports mkv and mp4 files. I looked around online and it looks like there are some custom profiles you can find that will use other formats, but they're hit-or-miss. It will probably be easiest to find another tool for making webm files. If you want short clips, you should probably rip the whole DVD with HandBrake, then make the webm clips in a video editor. I'm fairly sure that OpenShot supports webm rendering, and kdenlive might as well.

***** I thank you for your quick reply and the info. I guess what i'm trying to do with vlc is make small enough videos that I can send in email. Can the mp4 type files be sent in email if they are small enough? Its clear you know much more about this stuff than I do and I thank you for your help. UPDATE... I just tried VLC again and it look like it was working but when I clicked to play back the short segment i copied from a dvd i only get a black screen where the video should be. I think i'll just give up on even trying it again. I wish knew what happen to vlc and why it no longer works. Thanks again.

+swami kammari When I made this video, I was using GNOME 3 on Antergos, a derivative of Arch Linux.

+Matt Lucero That looks fucking Ubuntu

+Stephanie Marino This should make the picture perfect 1st rip the dvd as a mkv file, you have to change the output settings container 2nd rip the file you just made as a mkv file to a mp4 file by changing back the output settings container as mp4

You need to enable Handbrake to be able to process discs that have copy protection on them. Its a fairly simple process. To enable DVD wp.me/p3QqUs-Ie To enable Blu-ray wp.me/p3QqUs-2tZ Handbrake forum moderators hiding truth about ripping discs wp.me/p3QqUs-2tX

dno, if u have figured it out yet, but it sounds like u need to rip all the chapters, and the chapters within the chapters one at a time - u can que it. dno if that helped? :P

If you are using the GUI then look at the dropdown box that is titled FORMAT and change it to .mp4, if you don't see it then download version 1.0.7 and use that, its there.

Hes using Linux...

At the time of this video, I was running Antergos (based on Arch Linux) with GNOME.

Hey Catherine, I"m so lost, can you help me, I'm trying to rip but have no idea what I"m doing

uhm sure, i can try. start with a normal dvd movie, thats easier until u get the drift of it :P 1. get "Handbreak" (handbrake.fr/downloads.php) 2. put in a dvd 3. start the program 4. click on "Source", theres a list of diffent types u can choose to rip. in this case u choose Dvd - Then the program scans the dvd. 5. right under the Source icons, theres another menu thats name "Source "dvd title" There u choose the title (there might be more than one, so look at the minutes, and take the one that makes sense fx. 01:36:56 the other ones are probably commercial. - let the next tab "angle" be as it is. - choose "chapter" in the next tab instead of seconds and frames. - and then u choose which chapters u want to rip, fx. if u want the whole movie you choose chapter 1 (tab) through 18 (tab) (these numbers are how many chapters my movie has, so yours can be different.) 6. Under the "Source "dvd title" menu is another menu thats named "Destination" thats where u want to place the ripped file. so if u have a movie folder choose that, create that or just use the desktop. - make sure u change the file name to ".mp4" at the end. 7. in the next menu under "Destination" is "Output settings" make sure that it says "Container" -> MP4, click in "Web optimized" if its something u wna upload. In 1. "pictures" leave it as it is. 2. "filters" leave it as it is ("off"), 3. check off the "use Advanced tab instead", 4. "Audio" heres the audio tracks, if your movie in has more tracks than fx. english u can choose to rip that with the movie, just click on "Add tracks" and choose in the tabs, in regard to the tab called "bitrate" u can go down to 128 bits, its more than okay ;) the tab "mixdown, im not so sure what to choose, just let it be or change it. 5. Subtitles, here u can add subtitles, click on "Add track" and go through all the tabs and choose REMEMBER to remove the checkmark in "Burn in" otherwise the subs will be on the screen no matter what, if u remove it, u can choose to use the subs or not ;) add more tracks, if theres alot of different subtitles. 6. "chapters" fuck that, leave it be :P 7. "Advance tab" leave it be, its usually good enough ;) 7. press "start" and the ripping progress is starting :P this can take some time, so go make some tea or coffee and wait for it to be done. i dont recommend that u use the computer for anything else besides the internet while its ripping. Hope that help! Enjoy ur ripping and have a nice day :)

my computer is just fine

That's normal, Handbrake requires all the power that your CPU has because this is an extremely complex and demanding process. If you built your system yourself then you might consider a cooling system upgrade so it won't be as noisy (it will still push you CPUs to the limit).

bitch i have a dual core.

I have 2 x Xenons (e5620) running 16 cores @2.4GHz ,an old slow coach now wish makeMKV/Handbrake could use the GPU`S on these programs

I'm not sure what complaints you're talking about. I'm using the latest version and it's working just fine. I ripped three home-made DVDs for a client just yesterday.

Went to cnet for rating. Just saw the two complaints about not working. No wanna get something to work with and it ain't working. Thanks for reply. And for video.

+SuperInfamous1234 Yes, it's a legitimate program as long as you download it from the official website (which is linked in the description.)

ok Thanks

You have every right to copy your own DVD.

+omran panda taught*

Yup, the Fair Use Doctrine got you covered

for you yes its easy but for people like me who don't know computers or how to do this its very hard and I'm still confused :(

i Understand....if ur that new , i would use handbrake instead of VLC

I'm so confused, I have handbrake on my computer. I want to rip a dvd on my computer so I can play it on my ipad. can you help me?
