Perhaps, but I still use this all the time. The error given is due to SIP, System Integrity Protection in El Capitan. The location of the lib is off limits now.

I'll try these now and hopefully have it working again.

This fixes the problem:
sudo cp /Library/SystemMigration/History/Migration-*/QuarantineRoot/usr/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib /usr/local/lib

Hi - unfortunately I've not been able to figure out a way to get Fairmount to load up. I've moved the livdvdcss file to usr/local/lib, but when I open Fairmount (or when it opens as part of the automator script), it is unable to find the library.

Has anyone else been able to resolve this?

Kind regards,

Matt
 
I think the originator of this has left this out to pasture. Sad because it really was a great setup but there has just been no reply from him in awhile.

Any chance of getting this open-sourced?

I too have been using it for years, but there are some things you can't fix if they are outside of the shell scripts.

Has anyone figured out how to get this to work with the newly released handbrake? They seem to have changed many of the flags. Trying with:

-X 1920 -Y 1080 -e x264 --quality 25.0 --rate 30 --pfr -a \${audioTrack},\${audioTrack} --aencoder faac,copy:ac3 -B 160,160 -6 dpl2,none -R Auto,Auto -D 0.0,0.0 -f mp4 --loose-anamorphic --decomb --ipod-atom --audio-copy-mask aac,ac3,dtshd,dts,mp3 --audio-fallback ffac3 --modulus 2 -m --x264-preset medium --h264-profile high --h264-level 3.1 --gain 10

I get no sound in my encode.
 
Hi All, I have been using this for awhile and is just what i need, I just can't figure out how to burn in the foreign language sections in i have set the subtitle bit in the encode to Force and the pass through to native language but when i encode it, the foreign language part isn't being burned in to the mp4
 
For anyone who is interested... I could not find a way to download mac.jedi's automator script so I wrote my own. I was bored and I am brand new to Apple Scripting so it was just for fun. Hope anyone that finds this finds it useful.

If you do decide to use it just change the file extension from .txt to .scpt. Open your System Preferences, click the Optical Disc icon, and set the action for when a DVD is inserted to run this script.

Are the Batch Rip Actions still available somewhere? I can't find a valid location to download these.
 
No, but I still have my downloaded copy. I don’t know if everything still works, but the parts I use still do. If you can DM me your email address, I can send you the file.
 
Loosely related to this thread, I've been talking to the author of TagChimp about the possibility of bringing it back online. Trying to gauge interest from the community. Link below.

All good, it's what Identify 2 users i think, but regardless, why trust it, unless u verify the info is correct afterwards?

The only thing is cover art is always gonna be different than what you want.

You can add it, but why ? Just copy the image from IMDB like i do... That way you don't go wrong
 
While I can't attest to all of the modules from Batch Rip Actions 1.1.1 working still as I don't use them all, the ones I do use still work. Since the original file cannot be found, I dug out my copy of the MacJedi's work from my archive drive here at the house. Here is a link so you anyone can download it.

Jan 2018 Status
Installation
There are multiple Fairmounts currently and the one included with DVDMaster did not work.
Fairmount located in Github works.
I'm on El Cap so i had to do the extra steps of moving files around as stated in the instructions.

I have typically use RipIt instead Fairmount but it works.

Encoding
I haven't been able to use the Batch Encode Feature. HandbrakeCLI fails do the error below.
osascript: OpenScripting.framework - scripting addition "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" cannot be used with the current OS because it has no OSAXHandlers entry in its Info.plist.

Tagging
Tagging TV and Movie files have worked well. Adding the necessary Tags to the m4v files.
This works for DVDs.

I just installed a Blu-ray drive and haven't used it yet.


TL: DR Tagging and ripping works great but not the encoding.
 
Can not use dvd rip because Fairmount keep looking for libdvdcss

I managed to get something working in applescript, but the problem is that it didn't display any type of status. I can see that it's running, but I can't tell where in the queue the CLI currently is. So how to add a display progress bar to the applescript?

Code:
[CODE]
-- Find the title of the DVD

set DVD to do shell script "mount | grep read-only | awk -F' ' '{print $3}' | awk -F'/' '{print $3}'"

-- Tell the script where to send the Movies while ripping
set DEST to "/Users/bob/Movies/video"

-- Just some necessary variables to make the disc eject
set VOL to "/Volumes/"
set DISC to VOL & DVD
set EXPORT to "dvdbackup -i " & DISC & "-I >> " & DEST & DISC & ".txt"

-- Tell the script where your HandBrakeCLI executable file is.
set HANDBRAKE to "/applications/HandBrakeCLI"

-- Rip command.
do shell script HANDBRAKE & " -i 'x264 Unparse: vbv-maxrate=25000:level=4.0:vbv-bufsize=31250' -i " & DISC & "/VIDEO_TS -o " & DEST & DVD & ".mp4" --keep-display-aspect --decomb

-- Eject the DVD after the rip.
tell application "Finder"
do shell script "drutil eject"
end tell

--Change the change the file's destination folder to the final destination of your movies
do shell script "mv " & DEST & DVD & ".m4v /Users/bob/Movies/"

-- Again, this is only useful if you need to be specific on the title to rip.
do shell script "rm " & DEST & DISC & ".txt"

-- Just an auditory indication that you're ready to rip another DVD.
say DVD & "has been converted. Please give me another disc to rip."

Keep it simple. Use makemkv. Don't bother with tagging. Use plex or infuse and you don't have to. If you want to encode use handbrake.
 
ripping dvd 1000 to my nas.

It will not use

Code:
-- Eject the DVD after the rip.
tell application "Finder"
    do shell script "drutil eject"
end tell

--Change the change the file's destination folder to the final destination of your movies
do shell script "mv " & DEST & DVD & ".m4v /Users/bob/Movies/my video"

-- Again, this is only useful if you need to be specific on the title to rip.
do shell script "rm " & DEST & DISC & ".txt"

Somehow since I took the plunge and went to el Captain, I managed to get this whole Automatic script platform to work. Anyone one else. It was about getting the libdvdcss out of quatinee and into /user/local/lib folder. I do have Macjedi source code, he gave it to me back when he was doing this. I think since he dropped it, someone that is good can take it and make it better?
 
Would be awesome if this would work.

I don't even need the Fairmount or Handbrake side of things, just the MakeMKV bits but when I run it, it complains about not having libdvdcss (or something).

Is there an easy fix to this?

Right if you do a search you will see that libdvdcss gets restricted and you have to move it,so fairmount/handbrake etc can run correctly.

I am back to using this 100% to rip/encode and add metadata back into all my TVSHows.. awesome..

Gunthermic,

Could you please post a link to the source code here so the community can pick up this project and get it running smoothly again?
