Handbrake 1.0.7 DVD Rip Tutorial on Mac

Coping DVD to Hard Drive on Mac allows you to play DVD movies with QuickTime freely without inserting DVD to DVD Drive again and again. The favorite tool I like using to rip DVD is a open-source called Handbrake. Handbrake for Mac can convert DVD to MP4/MKV for you to stream DVD movies without DVD Drive.

Backing up DVD with Handbrake is easy on Mac. You only need to load DVD movies and choose the container you want then click “Start” to begin the process. You can follow the steps below to start DVD ripping process on Mac.

Step 1: Download and install Handbrake:

Step 2: Load DVD movies

With HandBrake running, insert a DVD and HandBrake will begin to analyze it. HandBrake will divide up the DVD by logical groups called Titles, each representing a different block of content on the DVD. The one that’s feature-length is usually the movie you’re trying to rip. If you are ripping a TV Series DVD to Episodes, you can uncheck the feature-length movie and then group titles with 20-40 mins to rip in sequence using the Add to Queue button.

Step 3: Choose format to output

You can choose MKV or MP4 container to output from “Contain” button. Older Handbrake for Mac version shows “Format” button.

Step 4: Start to rip DVD on Mac

Once you’ve got it set up the way you want, click the Start button on the toolbar. HandBrake will then begin to rip DVD disc. Once it’s done it’ll pop up an alert.

The speed of decoding will vary directly on the speed and capability of your Mac. Macs with more cores can decode and rip content from DVDs faster.

If you rip protected DVD with Handbrake on Mac, when you load DVD to Handbrake for Mac, you will get the alarm:

Don’t panic. That just because Handbrake can’t rip protected commercial DVD. And if you try to rip them using HandBrake the first time, you’ll get an error message like this which will give you the option of installinglibdvdcss.pkg. Just download it then you can decrypt commercial DVDs with Handbrake for Mac.

El Capitan apparently broke Handbrake ripping copy-protected DVDs. It appears that El Capitan’s new security system, “System Integrity Protection”, removes libdvdcss. If you can’t rip DVD with Handbrake on Mac El Capitan, you can disable SIP, simply reinstall libdvdcss and you’re good to go.
