I use an old SuperDrive taken out of my old 2009 MacBook Pro when I added-in an SSD.While much of the world has embraced streaming, there are still many who have physical media. Your Mac not got a DVD drive? Get an external one. If you’re ripping a DVD full of episodes then you’ll need to find each within the list, assign it a filename in the File: area, and then click Add To Queue at the top of the window, before repeating for the next episode. The key then is to select the LONGEST file from the Title dropdown list (see how they’re all listed in minutes and seconds?), which will probably be the movie in question on the DVD. Use it to select the DVD disk under the list of Devices at the left – you’ll see something like VIDEO_TS folders, and others, but just don’t select anything and click the Open button. When it opens it’ll show a File Open window. Handbrake isn’t that hard to use, even if it looks bewildering.
Insert your DVD, close the DVD Player app if it starts automatically, and then use HandBrake to rip the DVD.Head over to the HandBrake site and download the latest version.In the Terminal window type the following:.Note that this might appear as more than one line in your browser, but it’s really just a single line – triple-click it to select it, then copy it, and then paste it into the Terminal window. To install Homebrew, open a Terminal window (it’s an app in the Utilities folder of the Applications list in Finder) and enter the following: Install Homebrew, which is a core of open source apps that live happily on your Mac, invisible, and alongside the existing open source apps that Apple installs.In truth, the instructions are pretty simple (all the steps below use free, open source software): It’s an area that’s honey to a bee for dishonourable software sellers or clickbait bloggers, it seems. There were so many scam sites out there with crappy or out of date information. Recently I had to rip a couple of DVDs to USB sticks to make them easier to play on our smart TV, and I tried to research how to do this on a Mac.
