Part 1: How to Free Convert and Rip DVD with Handbrake on Mac

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:

1. HandBrake will not be able to rip individual files saved as a DVD - ROM.
2. HandBrake will always select the long title automatically. If you do not want to copy the long title video, you could change the selection by yourself.

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.

HandBrake can simply click“start”or “pause” when you copy your DVD video.
