Disney DVDs are encrypted with Disney X-project DRM to stop owners from copying the discs and against piracy.

Some well-known film publishers like Disney, Warner, Paramount, etc. have adopted Disney copy protection. The DVD movies including Zootopia DVD from these publishers usually contain 99 titles and are larger than 40 GB in size, which makes DVD copy and backup difficult.

To rip Disney Zootopia DVD, you should also install the free DVD playback library called libdvdcss. HandBrake 0.9.2 or earlier versions are able to access and unscramble DVD encryption. But they are too outdated to support hardware acceleration.

  1. Download libdvdcss to your Windows computer. (32-bit version download, 64-bit version download)
  2. Copy the libdvdcss-2.dll file to Handbrake program folder.
