Thread: Handbrake for iMac not working

I always found Mac the Ripper worked well but its success rate is down to about 50% now

Anyone try using MakeMKV to do the initial rip?

I suggested it because I had trouble ripping DVD's with Handbrake, and the MakeMKV -> Handbrake succeeded on every disk I tried... YMMV of course

Google search for MakeMKV and Handbrake

For that price it might be worth buying it and trying to rip that disk.

Sorry my mistake. It is the 4 quid Region 2 disk that nothing has been able to rip. It hangs the ripping program up and you have to hard boot your computer.

I tried it with MacX DVD Ripper and it did the same. I sent off the error report and was offered 15 days free trial of the pro version.

The pro version ripped it after I stopped using the default title selection - the longest title on the DVD is 3hrs but with only 4 min video. When I skipped the longest title and selected the rest it worked.

So yes at the end of my 15 days I will pay for a licence.

Well done success.Hope the kids enjoy the DVD.
