Ripping DVD's

[jakeless.123]

I am currently looking for a solution to my woes.

I am looking to rip a DVD onto my Mac so that I can play it on my iPad.

Any suggestions?

I currently have handbrake but is having troubles with encryption. Maybe there is another alternative?

Thanks in advance!

What exactly is your problem with handbrake?

Thanks I'll try that. Is it free?

I think it's free to try - I liked it, so I bought it.

I forget the message that pops up. Something about 32 and 64 bit versions. But it's saying to download a file called libdvdss.pkg (I think that's the name spelling might be a little off) in order to rip a DVD that I have. After googling it, come to find out that it's required for encrypted disks when using handbrake. Call me paranoid but I don't like to just "download a random file" off the Internet. So I thought I would hit the forums.

How much was it? I don't mind paying, I just don't want to pay a ton.

I was disappointed when Handbrake went south for Lion, it's integration wih VLC was ruined and eliminated awesome features like ripping right from Handbrake. I still use HB for converting, it works fine for that. I can't remember the DVD ripping program I use, but it was free and works awesome-I'll have to update this post when I get home and let you know what it is.

Here's a patch for VLC 2.0 and Handbrake...
