How To Rip DVDs To MP4 Using Linux And Handbrake

DVDs are going up in price, Mellineials and zoomers are realizing, you get bonus features and stability since it doesn't dissapear plus offline play back. high techies can still use up scaling to squeeze a little more details out of the SD era DVDs. i would be mindfull of riping a DVD to to full hd. some came in 520p or there about. i'd rather lets the media player or screen/TV do the up scaling from there.

My DVD drive does not show up under source. What does this mean?

I still use DVD's and CD's. I have lost so much digital data, that I don't trust hard drives or any other storage media.

How did you do this without also installing libdvdcss? Since in arch you install everything from source then does it automatically install libdvdcss through the AUR as well? I'm on Pop! OS LTS 22.04 and can not seem to get Handbake working. I've installed both the flathub and deb versions of the application and none seem to work. Also how are you able to bypass copy protection on titles like "Deadpool 2 " without also installing libdvdcss and then doing dpkg reconfigure. Can you share more information on your specs and what other dependencies you have for Handbrake?

Next time have it in full screen so its see-able

I have about 1,200 dvds. I can’t install paramount plus, Disney, Netflix and all the others to find and hope watch any one particular movie that crosses my mind.

You left the frame rate at 30fps for a 25fps movie. That is not going to look good.

Thanks for the video. I’ve tried to do this in the past with VLC but the audio wouldn’t sync with the video. Definitely going to give handbrake a shot
