#RIPIT DOES NOT SEE MY DISC MOVIE#
So before ripping a DVD, you’ve got to choose which part(s) of a DVD to rip, where you’ll use the resulting movie file, and which of many possible conversion settings to use. HandBrake is designed to rip particular parts of DVDs (usually the main movie or individual TV episodes) to video formats that will play on iPods, iPhones, Apple TVs, and other devices. MacTheRipper for this task, but neither approaches the ease of use of, say, ripping a CD in iTunes. So you need software that removes this copy protection as it copies the DVD’s contents to your hard drive.
The problem is that commercial DVDs are copy-protected to prevent you from ripping them as you would a music CD. If not, ripped movies are even more useful.) Ripping DVDs is also convenient for those with a Mac as part of their home entertainment system: all of your movies are ready for watching at a moment’s notice. (Assuming your laptopĪctually has an optical drive, that is. If you’ve got the hard-drive space, it means you don’t have to deal with lugging around-or worry about damaging-a bunch of discs, and watching movies from your hard drive sucks up less battery power than using your laptop’s optical drive. If you do own it, think before you rip.]Īs any respectable road warrior knows, transferring movies from DVDs to your hard drive-”ripping” the discs-is great for portable movie watching.
So our advice is: If you don’t own it, don’t do it. Currently, the law isn’t entirely clear one way or the other. We (and others) think that, if you own a DVD, you should beĪble to override its copy protection to make a backup copy or to convert its content for viewing on other devices. [Editor’s note: The MPAA and most media companies argue that you can’t legally copy or convert commercial DVDs for any reason.
