Handbrake Rip DVD – How to Rip DVD with Handbrake?

Have you ever wanted to put DVDs on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android or Apple TV but just didn't know how? Here is a one free tool that makes easy work out of ripping DVDs and converting incompatible video files into manageable formats: Handbrake. Supposed you are a novice and not familiar with Handbrake, no biggie, its intuitive interface will walk you through the whole DVD video conversion barely a few clicks. Here we focus on the step by step process of DVD ripping on Mac with Handbrake for Mac under the help of VLC media player and its libdvdcss package for encrypted DVD disc.


How to Use Handbrake to Rip DVD to MP4/MKV on Mac

Step 1: Free Download Handbrake & Load Source DVD.

After free downloading Handbrake 1.0.7 Mac version, run it and click "Source" to add homemade or commercial DVDs you'd like to rip. You're encouraged to rip and copy commercial DVDs for personal and legal use rather than the commercial use.


Note: For Mac users, there are some Handbrake system requirements to luanch it on Mac computers, namely 64-bit Intel Mac, free memory (256 MB for transcoding standard definition video, 1 GB for HD video and 2 GB or more for 4K video), 1024x768 or better screen resolution and enough system storage (50MB for Handbrake installing and 2GB or more for processing and storing your new videos.

Step 2: Choose Output Format or Preset for Your Device.

Now time for output DVD movie format selection: MP4 (M4V) or MKV formats. There are also some basic preset for you to rip DVD to iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple TV (1-3), Android, Windows Phone 8. And you're also allowed to add preset from your Mac at the right bottom of the interface.

Step 3: Select a Place to Save Output DVD files.

Press the "Browse" button to choose the path where you want to save the output file in.

Step 4: Adjust Picture Video Audio Settings on Mac Handbrake.

With the latest version 1.0.7 of Handbrake for Mac, you can better tweak the output parameters of video filters, video, audio, subtitles, chapters, picture, etc. to let your output videos more applicable and personalized.

* Handbrake Picture settings: Here the width of your output DVD movie can be adjusted in Handbrake Mac version using up/down arrows (not directly fill a number), while not work for Height. If you think the increase or decrease of the number is too slow or troublesome, you can choose "Modulus", which means the times of width, 2 times of width, 4 times of width, etc.

* Handbrake 1.0.7 Video settings : 

1). As for Video Codec in Handbrake for Mac, we recommend you to keep H.264 (x264), better output quality than MPEG-4 or H.264 (Intel QSV) to accelerate DVD ripping speed (Intel QSV stands for Intel Quick Sync Video hardware acceleration tech). 

2). Framerate selection depends on your specific needs. The larger in number, higher quality it gets and larger file size it produces. 

3). Speaking of Quality, you're suggested to choose "Constant Quality", for about 90% videos sport with Constant Quality, which has much better compatibility than Variable Framerate. Look at "optimise Video", here gives you the x264 preset parameters. The greater the number, the slower the speed. So it's advisable to drag your slide bar between medium and very slow, 4 levels.


* Handbrake Audio Settings : The audio setting is seemingly much simpler than others in Handbrake Mac version. For Mac computer, it's recommendable to choose "AAC" codec and adjust Bitrate between 128k and 320k. And you feel free to add tracks to your output video with supported audio formats.

Step 5: Start to Rip DVD (encrypted or not) with Handbrake Mac.

Once the above steps done, you can go ahead to rip DVD on Mac computer by simply hitting the "Start" button on the left top of Handbrake for Mac version. 

Note: No matter you plan to use Handbrake 1.0.7 to rip DVD or convert video on Mac, the operating procedure is almost the same. 

Handbrake Problems and Troubleshootings:

Handbrake is free and open source, but its functions are also limited.

1. Handbrake can't rip copy-protected DVD alone because it does not support DVD decryption, so it needs third-party software like VLC to remove copy protections from commercial DVDs first. Learn one-stop solution to rip protected DVD.

2. DRM DVD is always encrypted with multiple random titles and Handbrake can't tell which one is correct. When it scans the whole DVD disc, it may select the wrong title or crash in the middle.

3. Handbrake output MP4, MKV files ONLY! So if you intend to rip and convert DVD to more output formats and devices like FLV, AVI, MOV, Kindle Fire HD, Galaxy S7, HTC One 10, etc, Handbrake will let you down. Then Dimo Video Converter Ultimate is highly recommended as the best alternative for Handbrake to rip your protected DVD discs to any format such as MP4, FLV, WMV, MOV, etc. with fast conversion speed and high output video quality. This all-in-one DVD ripper software can help you decrypt DVDs of any copy protection from Disney, Sony, Warner, Paramount and more. 

In addition to the same function as Handbrake does, it works even better than Handbrake due to its extra features, like ripping DVD to lossless mkv, copy DVD to folder, etc. as a DVD copy, trimming/cropping/adjusting effect/adding watermark to your source movie as a DVD editor, sharing DVD to mobile devices wirelessly as a media server. Meanwhile, it provides hundreds of preset outputs in order to convert and play DVD movies on Apple devices, Android devices, game consoles, media players, DLNA and NAS. For those who are running in Mac (OS Sierra included), Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is what you need. In the below simple guide, we take Mac version as example, for ripping DVD on Windows PC, click here.

Simple Guide: Ripping DVD with Dimo Video Converter Ultimate

Step 1. Import your DVD movies 

Install the top alternative to Handbrake for MacOS Sierra. Launch it and click "Add DVD" button to import the DVD files that you want to convert. Both ISO and files in DVD Folder can also be loaded. 


Step 2 Select compatible video format 

Just click on the dropdown menu of "Select Format", and then choose MKV, H.264 MP4 from "Format > Video" profile list. If you want to keep 1080p resolution as source movie, you can choose HD MP4 or HD MKV from "Format > HD Video" as output format. 

Tip: If the default video/parameters can't meet your needs, just click "Settings" icon to adjust the video codec, bitrate, frame rate, audio sample rate, etc to get a decent video as you want. In principle, the larger input values, the better output quality, but the corresponding larger file size. 


Step 3. Start ripping DVD 

When all settings are done, select the location for your movie by clicking "...", simply click the "Start" button to begin the DVD conversion on Mac. 

Note: In order to let you make copies of your DVD movies, the above recommended Dimo Video Converter Ultimate uses built-in decryption tools that circumvent digital rights management technology. Such procedures currently occupy something of a legal gray area. You probably won’t face any legal consequences if you rip your legally purchased DVD movie collection for your own use, but we’re just going to present the instructions and let you decide for yourself whether to follow these steps.

Import Canon XC15 4K MXF to Premiere Pro CC/CS6/5/4

An upgraded follow-up to the XC10, Canon XC15 is capable of capturing high-image quality and low-noise 4K UHD video, thanks to its high-sensitivity one-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 5 image processing platform with high calculation-processing power. If you record some 4K videos, you may wanna work with the Canon XC15 4K in Adobe Premiere Pro (CC, CS6, etc) on macos Sierra. However, it seems a bit complicated as PPro won't ingest 4K MXF from XC15 as you expected. So, what's the solution?


At first, let's look at Canon XC15 video recording:

Recording file format: Material eXchange Format (MXF)

Recording format: Video Format: XF-AVC. Compression Format: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

Literally, the latest version Premiere Pro CC, CS6 has the ability to handle 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive owing to the codec issue and resolution. Worse still, Canon XC15 uses the new XF-AVC movie recording codec, employs the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression format, and packages shootings in an MXF wrapper, which is not an ideal format for most editing software including Adobe Premiere Pro. Some guys recommend to install the latest updates, try some MXF plug-ins, but still didn't work well.

To solve the problem, you need to convert Canon XC15 4K to MOV for Premiere Pro as primary delivery format. With the help of Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, you can easily achieve the goal. Hot News! DimoSoft has launched a user-requested upgrade for full line of media converting products for Win/Mac to version 2.7.3. Existing bugs, improvements and new elements for MXF encoding are added.

This program can be used to transcode any 4K MXF from Canon XC15, XC10, 5D Mark IV, C500, C300, XF305, XF100, XF300..., as well as 4K MTS/MOV/MP4 files from Canon/Sony/Nikon/DJI to Premiere Pro native MPEG-2/H.264 codec mov format on macos Sierra ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Premiere Pro CC, Premiere Pro CS6, etc.. 

In addition, it also offers other optimized codec for non-linear editing programs, such as DNxHD for Avid MC/Davinci Resolve, ProRes for FCP, etc. Moreover, it also is a professional video editing software to assist users with trimming, cropping, rotating, adjusting effects, attaching watermark, making 3D... to create your own videos. If you are a Windows user, you can turn to Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for help.

Step 2. Decide Output Format

Go to "Select Format" menu and choose "Format -> Editor -> Adobe Premiere“ as target format for using XC15 4K MXF in Adobe e Premiere Pro. 


And by clicking Edit, you can trim, crop videos, adjust video effects, add watermarks, etc.

Step 3. Set Video Resolution at 1080p

Click "Settings" button; you can adjust video and audio settings, including codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel. To down-convert ultra HD 4K MXF to 1080p MOV, do remember adjusting video size to 1920*1080. That is the exact 1080p.


Step 4. Start 4K to Premiere Pro Conversion

Hit "Start" button to let the Canon X15 MXF to Premiere 1080p mov conversion begin. When the conversion finished, check the generated 1080p video, you will certainly be satisfied with its final video quality. Now, it is easy for you to import the encoded 4K videos from XC15 to Premiere Pro (CC/CS6/CS5/CS4) on macos Sierra for further editing.
