I wouldn't necessarily get rid of your DVDs after you've digitized them though. Video encoding is rather complex with a hole lot of options, and some day you may want to re-encode with different ones. In particular, it took me a long time to figure out the exact combination of options to use for video that will play on anything from an iPod Classic or Nano all the way up to an Apple TV in standard anamorphic widescreen. If you want the settings I use let me know.

Hi,

Thanks so much.

I won't bother labeling in Braille my DVDs anymore, I'll just digitize them.

Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Use handbrake to open the resulting video_ts folder. MacTheRipper rips the DVD to your hard drive as-is, removing any CSS encryption and region coding along the way. You will have a folder named after the DVD, inside that will be a folder called VIDEO_TS. This is what you open with Handbrake. Handbrake will read the DVD information and you will be able to set your ripping options and go. Note that Handbrake can rip directly from DVDs, including those encrypted with CSS. But the ripping process goes much faster if the DVD is ripped to the hard drive first.

Hi,

Well, I am ripping using Mac the Ripper, and I have a tone of weird files. How do I convert them using Handbreak?

Thanks for listening,
Alex,
