Say you have a movie on DVD, but you want to watch it with QuickTime on your Mac (masOS High Sierra). You can “rip” that DVD—or turn it into a mov movie file on your Mac—to play DVD with QuickTime whenever you want. Here’s how to do it.
The guide aims to solve the following “Playing DVD using QuickTime” questions:
”I would like to know how I could convert a DVD to Quicktime format (or even avi, mov, mpeg) so that I can have a link on my website and viewers can view the short clip, with sound. All of the DVD’s I’d like to convert are copyright protected.”
”Is it possible to extract a DVD to .mov for playing in quicktime without having to spend money? I use Handbrake, which is great; however, I would prefer to have my files as .mov instead of .mp4. Is there something out there like Handbrake that is free without catches? Are there other alternatives?”
