Handbrake Problems

[paul.b.davis]

Ok, so all day I have been trying to rip a DVD, but handbrake will just stop randomly at a point in the movie and bring up the popup telling me it is done ripping, but in reality it is not even halfway through

anyone else have this problem? how can I fix it?
Thanks

depending on the movie yes-some recent movies(ratatouille for example) will not allow for a complete rip-if you go to the handbrake forums, you will see that they have a running list of several movies that won't rip with handbrake-one fix that might work is to skip the first chapter of the movie or you could try to rip it using mac the ripper then rip the Video_TS folder with handbrake

here is a link to the list of those movies that won't rip http://handbrake.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?t=266

I get the same problem with Casino Royal.

Also my macbook crashes if I use Handbrake and then insert a new DVD. It crashes even if I close Handbrake before I insert the new dvd. But only dies this if Handbrake has been open. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

i think the problem is ( this is my opinion based upon only experience) that these newer DVDs have some kind of encryption that makes it difficult to copy the discs to a computer so that the movie can't be shared with the whole wide world

Yeah, sucks if you want to put it on your iPod.

well it was transformers and that is not on the list... i used mac the ripper and then used that for handbrake and it worked perfectly

thanks

To make it easier (although it's more time consuming), I rip my DVD from Mactheripper to a ts_video file then use handbrake. There have been quite a few movies where I used handbrake and either the movie stopped, the sound was missing or it just wouldn't convert. But using mactheripper and then handbrake, I've never had any problems with ripping DVDs. I just converted 350 DVDs this way and they all work great.

Agreed with using MTR first. Newer version of hb is nice because you can rip a bunch of dvds then just load the VIDEO_TS folders into the queue before bed or before work.

Casino Royal works for me.

You have to use MTR first, which I recommend for every movie anyway.
