You need to have VLC installed to have the current version of handbrake rip protected DVDs. And yes, it definitely works on lion
I like Handbrake, too, but the thread has gotten off topic.
What is a suitable free replacement for Mac The Ripper/ripping the content from the actual disc?
MakeMKV rip 1080P Bluray?
the site claims ripping blu ray dvd too !has anyone used the beta dvdfab?
I highly recommend Slysoft's DVD backup products -- but it's Windows only, so you'd need Bootcamp or Parallels or a Windows machine.
Sounds Good, are you the same Sounds Good over at NotebookReview?
I've been trying to rip some blurays to stream from my iMac on my Apple TV2. I can successfully rip them with MakeMKV and use Handbrake to convert them to m4v but when I stream the movie, there are audio drops during the movie.Makemkv will do that for free. You can then take the output from Makemkv and run it through handbrake to down convert to a file optimized for iPad, ATV, iPhone, etc.
I have iMac with Mountain Lion but with isn't working Handbrake, crashed 3 times so far.
I prefer The Little App Factory's RipIt to convert the DVD to a DVD Image and then Elgatos Turbo.264HD to convert to m4v.
I always use Handbrake. It does the job well and it's free. Unfortunately it's not on the Mac App Store.Because handbrake isn't a ripper, it is a trans-coder.
If you have VLC installed it will trans-code alot of encrypted DVDs.
Ripit is a ripper and works well.
I don't know about 'better' I think it comes down to persona preference. MakeMKV is simple, but doesn't allow you to adjust bit rate. The interface of Handbrake it horrible and confusing compared to DvdFab, now sure DvdFab isn't cheap, but then it does come with support and they have a whole suite of programs to choose from for different tasks. Free isn't always 'better'.has anyone used the beta dvdfab?
