Mac or PC? Either way if you've just installed VLC, you need to open it once first to get past that "authorize opening a downloaded application" screen thing. Then Handbrake will be able to access the codecs and stuff from VLC.

I have a PC. Thats weird bc I had VLC open will I was using handbrake for elf. I was able to rip the first 5 min of elf using vlc, but dont know how to rip the whole movie.

have to make sure you select the right title. Lots of DVDs now have 99 titles which are randomized so you can't rip as easily. Also you need to use Handbrake for the rip. this should help
 
Amazon is streaming only and I don't think it would work in Safari. The only other thing I can think of is Zune and the prices are probably the same.

Amazon 'Prime' is streaming only. But, rented and purchased movies can be downloaded. No need to use Safari - Amazon's video ap works just fine for viewing the video.
 
That is called stealing...

No it isn't; it's called Copyright Infringement. Entirely different kettle of fish. Talk to a lawyer, or do a little research before you contribute to "conventional" misinformation, next time.

Thanks
