This method should work for most data/software DVDs and home movies. If you’re trying to copy a protected DVD such as an official movie or TV series release, see the Copying a Protected DVD Movie method.
Eject the DVD from the drive when the ripping is complete.
After downloaded the HandBrake installer, double-click the file (it ends with . DMG), then double-click the HandBrake icon to install it.
Go to https://burn-osx. sourceforge. io/Pages/English/home. html. Click the Download Burn link to save the ZIP to your Downloads folder. You can just run the app later without installing it, so just move to the next step for now.
Open the Terminal app. You can do this by clicking the Spotlight icon at the top-right corner, typing terminal, and then clicking Terminal in the search results. Type the following at the prompt: ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw. githubusercontent. com/Homebrew/install/master/install)” Press ⏎ Return to run the command. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Leave the Terminal window open when you’re finished.
If you’re ripping a DVD sold in the United States, choose one of the 480p presets. If the DVD is European, choose 576p. Larger presets will only make the file size bigger rather than improving overall quality. If you don’t see a panel on the right side of HandBrake that displays a list of qualities (e. g. , “Very Fast 1080p30”), click the Toggle Presets icon at the top-right corner of the app.
