As we all know DVD is a very popular way to record the video data. You could take the DVD disc to anywhere to play it with DVD player (only can play with DVD player). I think that is inconvenient for you if you have a long trip. Could it play on other devices? You know today DVD disc only supports two formats: DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW. These formats can not play on any other device beside DVD player. So we must to convert or rip DVD video. Do you know how to rip DVD video with the highest quality? If you do not know, Let me show you.
HandBrake is a famous free and open resource video transcoder. At first, it is developed to rip a film from a DVD. So the main function is convert and rip DVD. Before we rip our video from DVD, we should know our device what kind of formats it can support. If we choose iPhone 6s/ Plus as our player, I think rip DVD to MP4 is good choice. Now I will tell you the steps convert and rip DVD to MP4. Before we star our steps we must sure we have downloaded HandBake, installed it. And it is the latest version that with the newest functional improvement.
Step 1. Insert DVD movie
Insert DVD disc to DVD - ROM on your Mac and launch HandBrake. After you this step, you will notice a screen asking you to choose a DVD. Choose the DVD you have inserted and HandBrake will scan it automatically. The scanning will take your two minutes or more which depends on your driver and DVD contents.
Tips:
Step 2. Set the output folder
From the image you must have noticed that the Destination section has 3 setting: File destination, File format, and Codecs. For File destination, you could choose save in your Mac or other devices directly (like iPhone 6s/ Plus).
About the output file format, you could choose:
File Containers: .MP4(.M4V) and .MKV.
Video Encoders: H.264(x264 and QuickSync), H.265 MPEG-4 and MPEG-2, VP8 and Theora.
Audio Encoders: AAC / HE-AAC, MP3, Flac, AC3, or Vorbis.
Audio Pass-thru: AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, AAC and MP3 tracks.
Step 3. Simply edit DVD video
At the third step you could simply edit your video quality like Target size, Average bitrate, Constant quality, Framerate and so on. You could take some buttons according your need.
Step 4. Rip your DVD on Mac
HandBrake can simply click“start”or “pause” when you copy your DVD video.
tips: HandBrake ripping the unprotected DVD is a great software. However, when it comes to latest copy- protected DVDs, HandBrake cannot well handle. It must have the help from VLC. And when you play the ripped video, you will find there are some loss and blocks. I think this is not a good try for you. A good DVD ripper should have blocks or loss.
You know the output video quality with HandBrake is not as good as you expect. So I recommend Cisdem Video Converter to solve this problem. Cisdem Video Converter is better than HandBrake for its following features:
Step 1. Free download Cisdem Video Converter.
Free download Cisdem Video Converter and install it into your Mac. You will notice a simple interface. It includes convert button and download button. Because we need to rip DVD video, we will stay at convert interface.
Step 2. insert DVD disc.
After you insert DVD disc, you could open the DVD, drag and drop DVD videos into “convert interface”.

Step 4. Choose the output formats.
