Handbrake 0.9.3 released

[Macpowered]

I updated to 0.9.3 yesterday and I love the new Apple TV preset.

OK so I have the new Handbrake & the Apple TV. So I decide to rip a copy of my store bought DVD, Cream - Disraeli Gears "Classic Albums". I chose Apple TV format from the Toggle Panel, since that's where I will watch it. It's done in under an hour, so I'm happy. Then I go to play it & I found there is gibberrish throughout in the form of Copy Guard, Macrovision, DRM or Whatever else you want to call it.

Question: Why can't I put a DVD that I bought & own in my iTunes ?

I'm pretty sure I use to be able to do that with the old Handbrake. Am I wrong ?

You can't do it because they removed the DVD ripping part since it's pointless to waste time trying to keep up with the new DRM schemes that come out every few weeks.

So, you need to have VLC installed, and HB will use the decryption part from that to handle the ripping part.

Do I have to have VLC open ? I guess I'm not understanding what I need to do, in order for this to work.

The best method that I have found is to rip with MacTheRipper first and then give it to handbrake to compress.

If it works I guess that's all that Matters. But isn't that a Long Process ? How long does it take per movie ?

Well it all depends on your settings and the length of the movie.

MTR usually only takes 20-30 minutes to rip the movie, so I usually do a few in a row to start. Than I setup handbrake with a queue and let it encode over night. I don't mind files taking up space so I usually go for higher quality and use the 2-pass setting. Usually a couple of hours for handbrake to do its thing, but its when I am sleeping so its like no time at all.

Yes, they have problems. Thank the studios for that.

There is a thread or two here about ripping DVDs. I've been told that my solution is not welcome here, so I won't discuss it even though it works great.
