(Yes, this is the same technique I described in HandBrake and the 99 Title DVD Mystery.) Keep this title number in mind and launch HandBrake,Ĭhoose a specific title in HandBrake for a more reliable rip From DVD Player’s Go menu choose Title and look for the checked title number. Launch DVD Player (found in the Applications folder), play it, walk your way through the junk that appears before the movie, and finally play the main feature. But that disc contains loads of titles, so how are you supposed to learn which is the correct one?Įasy enough. One way around this is to tell HandBrake exactly which title you’d like it to rip rather than having it scan the entire disc (which is its default behavior) and crash in the process. It sounds to me like you’ve encountered one such scheme that causes HandBrake to blow up when it scans discs for their main titles. (I’m looking at you, Netflix rip-it-and-keep-it-forever subscribers.) And so they devote some resources to undermining tools such as HandBrake by developing new copy protection schemes. As you might imagine, those responsible for making and selling movies packaged on DVD and Blu-ray are not happy that some loathsome individuals enjoy their content without paying for it. And, of course, there are lots of DVDs and Blu-ray discs sold that don’t offer digital copies. If you don’t act before the expiration date to get yours, you’re out of luck and must use other means, such as ripping the DVD copy that’s often included in the Blu-ray package. Problem is, some of these digital copies expire after awhile. With a clean conscience you get the copy that you believe is yours to own. I’ll add this little bit to the boilerplate: Many of us now own Blu-ray players and many Blu-ray discs come with digital copies of the movies contained on those discs for exactly this purpose. But before we get into it, run your eyes over the boilerplate text that we include with these kinds of articles:

I’ve tried it multiple times and I’m not having any luck. But when HandBrake starts scanning it, it crashes. I’d like to rip a DVD that I recently purchased so that I can view it on my iPad.
