Handbrake Problems

I've been having the same problem, and did some digging around. On some forum somewhere (I've been on so many digging I don't remember which it was...), I found someone who removed their VLC and Handbrake apps, then downloaded VLC, downloaded Handbrake, opened a movie using DVD Player so Handbrake wouldn't have region issues, and it worked.

I tried it, and am now half done with an encode when before I was only getting a minute or two in!

I have no idea whether it will continue to work, or if it does work, why it works. But it seemed worth a shot to me, and I thought you might want to try it, too!

Best of luck!

 

Are you having handbrake doing the ripping as well as the encoding? You'd be better served to use mac the ripper or something like that first to rip the DVD and then use handbrake for encoding.
