    I wanted to THANK YOU for sharing this video on "ripping" dvd's to your computer. I had a VERY special home video clip I wanted to share on facebook but had no idea how to do it. I watched a few other you tube videos on "how to" but they were either long, involved buying additional software, or both. Then I found YOUR you tube video and literally within 5 MINUTES of watching it and downloading "Handbrake" (FREE!) I have the clip to share! I can't thank you enough for your help. I subscribed to your channel (which I honestly don't even know what that means yet!) but I was so happy to find someone who explains tech "stuff" so simply that I wanted to save your contact info. Thanks again!!!

Thanks to your tutorial, I was able to digitize old family videos from the 70s and the quality is very very good. I can now share them with the rest of my family. You and the Handbreak team are awesome. Thank you very very much for this great video, and keep up with the good work.

    As someone who rips DVDs/Blu-Rays regularly, don't use Handbrake. Handbrake is more a Compression software. Say for example you have a 32 GB & you want ti download it on your phone, run it through handbrake & depending on your encoding settings, it'll downsize the video. You might lose quality but again, that depends on your settings. If you want to rip movies, I recommemd either Make MKV or DVDFab. Be warned though, after a while, you might be asked to purchase DVDFab after the free trial is up.

    • @bubbythebear6891
      @bubbythebear6891 Před rokem

      Excuse me if this is an obvious question, since I know nothing about ripping commercial dvds, but can Make MKV be used to rip and transfer a DVD to another blank DVD? I mean, identical quality, menus, subtitles, and everything else? I'm just wondering if there is an easy and free way to make a 1:1 copy that plays identical on any player. Thank you!

    I used the Handbrake to rip my movie discs before, but I think it’s too complex for me, so I choose anther one called DumboFab DVD Ripper which is found in a software site. The simple interface and the clear guide help me rip the movie DVD easily. And it can convert into many other formats. It’s so cool! I have got even better experience.

    The instruction is good however it would be helpfully if the windows were expanded so the visuals were not so ridiculously small.

    "MAC" I want to put my dvd collection on to portable hard drives. I have over 500 plus bluray and regular dvd's. once I get the dvd's on a hard drive via external disc drive to portable HD will it make a difference between bluray and normal dvd's as to will they be playable to a TV with a built in media player? If no internal media player on TV with a media player will everything work the way it is suppose to? The tv's I have are newer with installed apps in the TV so I am assuming they have media players installed....
    Also to play in my pick up truck via USB APPLE "CAR PLAY" to screen how do I format the or what format do I make the the dvd's onto the portable HD? Will the two be compatible for car play and a normal TV at home. "VISIO/SAMSUNG"?
    I see you have kinda of answered my question in another question, but I want to ask again for clarity. I purchased and own the DVD"S so can I do exactly what I am asking you help with? I am pretty sure because I own the movies I can I just want to hear this from someone that knows more about this than myself.

    Will this copy my manufacturer DVD's like Titanic,etc. Or will copy prevention cause the recording to fail?

    As soon as I open Handbrake on Windows 7, it is telling me that it has stopped working. Any ideas?

    Hey man, I just bought a cam - corder and it records onto mini dvd's like the three inch ones, would a converter like you use work for those as well? Thanks!

    Hey, quick question when I hit the start button, it will start then stop on its own like in 3 seconds, any reason why?

    Worked for some DVDs but on one the chapters come out all mixed up in random order. Tried reinstalling Handbrake and the suggested .dll file but still have the problem. BTW, the reason for the different Handbrake interface is that they updated the interface sometime in the last year or so but the functionality is still there. HELP

    Several months ago I downloaded Handbrake per your video and the link noted below. I had no problem then. Today, Dec 28, 2020 I tried several times and keep getting an image that notes "no valid source found" and the image is greyed out over different colored pastel vertical bars. The image doesn't look like the one in your video. I'm uncertain why this is happening. The only change to my laptop is I upgraded recently to Big Sur from Mojave. Suggestions? Please advise. Many thanks!

      Big Sur is OS11, not OSX... Id like to see this video update with a link to a better site for decrypting
