Can I pause Handbrake during a rip, take that DVD out and insert a blank DVD to burn a project I have on my desktop, and then re-insert the DVD I am ripping, and then resume the rip?
Copy the DVD video_ts folder to your computer first? Then use that copy on the computer instead of the physical DVD.
Interesting...so if I wanted, I could copy over as many of those folders over from my DVDs as I wanted and set Handbrake up to just keep ripping them one after another?
PS - I'm already 90 percent done with this rip but I need to burn a quick DVD for tomorrow morning and there's still like 3 hours left to finish ripping, (which would put me somewhere around the 1am range) that's my whole reasoning of wanting to pause
I don't think so because when you re-insert the disc it would try and rescan the DVD.
You would have to use Fairmount or Mac the Ripper to copy them to your hard drive.
What I do is rip 4-5 Dvd's to my hard drive then setup Handbrake to encode them one after another.
Cool...how long does it normally take to rip to your hard drive? I usually just insert the DVD, choose it as the source in Handbrake, and away it goes. Usually takes about a full day to rip and have it ready to watch via AppleTV.
