DVD Ripping Help

Dirk Diggler · 27 Mar 2014 at 17:22

I'm using DVDFab 8 to rip all my Blu-Rays and DVD's ISO, then Hanbrake to mp4 and place on my media server. I've ripped over 100 discs and all have been perfect, except 1 tv series! It's like the software can't read it, the little blue loading bar just stays there forever. I've tested the DVD in a player and it plays fine.

Any ideas? Alternative software (free) that I could try?

Thanks in advance.

try makemkv. handbrake can still convert the mkv files to mp4 when it's done.

Bingo!

Thanks.

Yep, you really can't beat DVDDecrypter for pure ripping.

However, you can rip+encode all with handbrake, 1 process for the lot which would be idea for the OP.

I can't get handbrake to rip, only encode. :confused:
