If you find a preset that you plan to use often, you can set it as your default (otherwise, HandBrake defaults to Normal as its preset). The Universal preset is helpful if you want a file that will work on all current Apple devices. The same goes for other devices, based on their playback restrictions. If you want to watch your movie on an iPhone, for example, choose iPhone & iPod touch for the best-quality settings that will work on that device. There you’ll find options for Universal, iPod, iPhone & iPod touch, iPad, AppleTV, AppleTV 2, AppleTV 3, Android, and Android Tablet. In most cases, you can just focus on the Devices section. In the drawer, you’ll see two types of presets: Devices and Regular. If the Presets Drawer isn’t already open, click the Toggle Presets button at the top of the HandBrake window (or press Command-T). Although you can tweak every aspect of encoding, HandBrake includes handy presets that make it much easier. Now that you’ve decided which title(s) to rip, you need to choose your encoding settings based on the device(s) on which you plan to view the content. Step three: Choose a preset You can pick a preset and make it your default, or you can create your own. From there you can delete any title that you don’t want to rip by clicking the X to the right of each title’s name. You might even find it easier to choose File > Add All Titles To Queue, which as you might expect adds everything to the queue. Rather than worrying about overwriting items in the queue if you forget to rename each before adding them, you can go to the General tab of HandBrake’s preferences and choose Use Auto Naming (uses DVD name and title number), which makes sure each title has a unique filename. If you want to convert several items-all the episodes on a TV show DVD, for example-you can select one item, click the Add To Queue button, and then repeat the process for each item until you’ve added them all to the encoding queue (you’ll want to adjust your encoding settings prior to adding the items to the queue, however, which I’ll discuss in the next step). Want to rip everything on a particular disc? There’s a button for that. ![]() In HandBrake choose File > Open Source (Title Specific), select your DVD, and enter that title number in the box and click Open Title. ![]() Then choose Go > Title from the menu bar, and find the title with a chek mark next to it. In that case, launch Apple’s DVD Player application, and navigate through the warnings, ads, and previews until you’re playing the main feature. HandBrake quitting or crashing when it scans your DVD, or aĭVD with 99 titles of almost the same length, you’ve run into copy-protection scheme meant to thwart ripping. From there you can scroll through ten still images from the title or, if that’s not good enough, choose to encode and watch 15 to 240 seconds of the title (in 15-second increments).īender’s the king, baby! Yep, that’s the episode I wanted. Want to make sure you’ve chosen the right title before you start encoding? Pick the one you think you want, then click the Preview Window button and a new window opens up. Generally speaking, the title with the longest duration is the DVD’s main feature. Once the scan is complete, HandBrake chooses what it thinks is the main title, but you can click the pop-up menu next to Title and choose the item you want to encode. Choose your DVD and click Open, and HandBrake then scans the DVD for the titles it contains. By default, the app opens a dialog box and ask you to select the DVD mounted on your Mac (you can turn off auto-prompting in the General pane of HandBrake’s preferences if you prefer). ![]() Now insert your DVD into your Mac’s DVD drive and launch HandBrake.
