Handbrake on pc question

[Chris 123]

I always use handbrake on my macbook and never have a problem. I put handbrake on both my pc's and whenever I put a dvd in it says "Please make sure you have selected a valid, non-copy protected source." I don't get this message when decoding the same dvd's on my mac. Any way around this? thanks

Try installing VLC... and then using HandBrake... HandBrake uses VLC to decrypt DVD's... so that is why it comes up with that message...

I have vlc installed. You know what else it could be?

Your trying to rip a copy protected DVD with an application that does not support copy protected sources.

VLC can only be used by the mac build, not the windows one. Your source has to be pre-ripped before HandBrake will read it.

If such doesn't work... you may want to check out this guidefrom Lifehacker.. it might help you!!!

Its not as easy on a PC as it in on a MAC, for the PC you have to:

1. Rip the DVD using DVDDecryptor (i like that one) to a folder
2. Point HB to that folder
3. Proceed as normal

How about using a program like DVD43 with strips the copy protection in the background, would that work to allow HandBrake to copy the movies?
