Instructions for How to Rip DVDs Using Handbrake 0.9.2

HandBrake 0.9.2 is a powerful, free, open-source video project designed specifically for ripping DVD movies (although you can convert other video files, too). The program automatically reads DVD discs when you insert them into your computer by recognizing a DVD's main video components: its Audio TS and Video TS folders that house a DVD's VOB files. It will convert your DVD files to several formats, including MKV and MP4 files for your portable media devices, like cell phones, PSPs, and iPods.

Instructions

1. Download and install HandBrake's 0.9.2 Version software. Agree to the terms of use and launch the program. Insert your DVD disc into your computer's disc drive.

2. Click the "Source" icon in the upper-left of HandBrake's main screen, which will offer you several input options. Select the "Video_TS..." pop-up option that corresponds with your computer's disc drive. (Most of the time, this will be your "D" or "G" drive). Wait for HandBrake to read your source DVD (this may take up to a minute).

3. Click the "Browse" button to the right of the "Destination" field to enter the "Save As..." window. Name your file and click "Save."

4. Navigate to the "Output Settings" format drop-down icon. Select one of the output options.

5. To change any picture settings like dimension, click the "Picture Settings" tab near the bottom of the screen. Click "Start" to begin ripping your DVD to the desired format.

Tips & Warnings

• Consult your user manual if converting a DVD for a portable media device. Check for the appropriate video format and dimensions.

• Ripping and converting DVDs may take up to several hours to complete.
