Insert DVD.</p> <p>2. Quit DVD Player if it launches.</p> <p>3. Run Handbrake.</p> <p>4. Hit <a href="http://ringoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/apple-command-ring.jpg">Command</a> + O</p> <p>5. Select the DVD in the finder popup and hit open.</p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/fJuir.png"></p> <p>5a. Handbrake should select the main feature by default, if in doubt check the drop down box where it says Title is the one with the longest duration. </p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/UnLCi.png"></p> <p>6. Select your preset from the right hand pane in handbrake. (you may need to press Toggle Presets or Command + T if you do not see the presets drawer.)</p> <p>7. Go make a cup of tea and wait.</p> <p>8. Oh press Start in handbrake first. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/importing-dvds-into-itunes#post-2119593 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:46:18 +0000 Captain Pugwash 2119593@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I use this and it works well enough for me;</p> <p><a href="http://www.cucusoft.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cucusoft.com/</a> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/importing-dvds-into-itunes#post-2119577 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:41:50 +0000 househusband 2119577@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.dvdshrink.org/">DVD Shrink</a> should rip most DVD's to your hard drive, if not then <a href="http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/">DVD Decrypter</a>. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/importing-dvds-into-itunes#post-2119575 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:41:02 +0000 DrJ 2119575@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>A bit confused still about Handbrake ... their doc itself even mentions using Fairmount to decode DVD's (which also just reports bad sectors ...)</p> <p>So - if I launch HB, and stick a DVD in the drive, will it do the gubbins all alone, as long as I have VLC as well? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/importing-dvds-into-itunes#post-2119555 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:31:17 +0000 prettygreenparrot 2119555@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Handbrake works most times. Simple, one step DVD to iPod/iTunes conversion. The most recent version is a lot easier than the previous one. Video conversion is unlikely to be a fast thing unless you have a monster machine. And be prepared for a long and boring wait if you have fewer than 2 cores.</p> <p>If you can find it, visual hub will convert most video files into another form.</p> <p>There is a Mac the Ripper for Snow Leopard. But with Handbrake doing the job in one step MTR only needs to come out for some things.</p> <p>As ever, you need VLC.</p> <p>For PC? I once used Magic DVD ripper - that worked well for what I needed. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/importing-dvds-into-itunes#post-2119533 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:19:25 +0000 Jamie 2119533@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>To be honest, I just started downloading the films <em>I actually own</em>, as it got such a faff. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/importing-dvds-into-itunes#post-2119525 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:17:09 +0000 M6TTF 2119525@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>ItsKIts pretty effective.

Use handrake and VLC together - works well most times. Annoying though having to do it when you legitimately own the content and want to watch on a different format </p>
