Open the Start menu, click on Computer, right-click the disk and select Explore. Find the file folder that says VIDEO_TS. Drag the folder to whatever location you want to copy your DVD. This is the end of a basic rip to watch on your computer. You don’t need transcoding unless you want to shrink the file or view the DVD on a mobile device.
To save the file as a shared file on a media server or network attached storage box, map the share as a network drive. Navigate to the appropriate folder, right-click and choose Map Network Drive from the menu.
Click the Audio & Subtitles tab on your transcoding software. Choose the soundtrack that you want. Under the Audio Codec menu, choose AAC. In the “mixdown” column, choose Dolby Digital II. Leave any bitrate, sample rate and DRC settings at their default values. Move down to the second audio track. Pick the same soundtrack from the source heading. Select AC3 from the list of audio codecs. Look for a box that says Forced Subtitles Only. If you choose a language that’s different from the language that the actors are speaking, checking this box will help you to avoid forced subtitles.
You may see 99 titles with almost the same length. That means that the DVD is copyright protected. Open your Apple DVD Player application. Pick Go –> Title from the menu bar and pick the title that has the check mark next to it. In Handbrake, choose that title. If you want to rip multiple titles (as in a DVD with multiple TV episodes), select 1 title, give it a unique name in the File Area and click Add to Queue. Repeat the process until you’ve added all desired titles to your encoding queue.
Click the Settings button. This will open a new window called Picture Settings. Choose Filters. Slide the slider between Decomb and Deinterlace all the way to the right. Click the drop-down menu next to Deinterlace. Choose Fast and preview the movie to see if this fixed the jagged frames.
Eliminate audio tracks that you don’t need, including language tracks. If you’re not connected to surround sound, you can remove a 5. 1 channel audio track or mix it to stereo to save space.
