You're not referring to Blu-ray, are you? I see lots of people refer to any video-on-disc as a DVD.

Is there a difference ripping? Sure, regular DVD and Blu Ray. I just assumed there was no difference.... so thats where I am at knowledge wise..

the only real difference I am aware of is you need a blu-ray player in your computer.
otherwise it seems handbrake will rip either. of course file size is way different. 9 GB for a DVD and 30ish for a blueray. hopefully you have enough space. |

This is kinda true if you'te doing a straight rip. Handbrake lets you set a lot of options that control the size of the final file. If your computer has an AMDcpu I recommend the AMD option for converting your discs to .mkv files. Edit: handbrake is free software. Google it to find a d/l site. |

Does Handbrake handle Blu-ray's AACS encryption?

I use MakeMKV. Can handle DVD, BluRay, and 4k UHD disks. Don't have anything to report, other than it works great.
I do use Handbrake to encode my DVD rips so they direct play on my clients, but I keep the BluRay and UHD untranscoded and transcode the BluRay content on the fly if needed. |

They are encrypted differently. DVD has been easy to rip and make into playable video files (.mp4, .mkv, .avi, etc) for a LONG time. I've been "out of the game" for a good many years now, but I had yet to find a free program that would decrypt blu-ray before I quit ripping. Maybe that's changed now. |

Any DVD will decrypt Blu-ray.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Handbrake is what you seek Get the extra files [Look around there is a website for DIY] That’s always an option. Also if you want a complete copy try RipIt pro. The resulting product is identical to the DVD: menus, warnings, *everything* that’s on the original disc. No idea if it works for Blu-ray, or even if the software still out there. |

Same for me, makemkv to rip and if I want handbrake to transcode to h265 to save some space. 5900x so it doesn't take too long. |

I rip everything to as a MKV with MakeMKV then transcode it via Handbrake. I found it takes about 50% less time to rip a regular DVD to an MKV format and then transcode it versus using HandBrake to rip it straight off the disk.

I've used Handbrake, MakeMKV and others for years. More recently, I got tired of using a hodgepodge of programs, so I bought the entire suite of DVDFab. It decrypts, rips, copies, transcodes, etc., and is updated almost continuously for whenever new protections or disc structures come out on new 4K movies. They can downgrade your 4K drive's firmware to allow you to rip a 4K movie, as newer drives have firmware that sometimes prevents this.
It's a lifetime license. Yeah, it cost money, but I'm happy with it. |

I have been using MakeMKV with success. Haven't needed to use handbrake yet. I am ripping thdm.and putting them on a USB in my router and am able to watch them on a TV downstairs.
My external burner only does DVDs.... we are in 2021..... What external burner do I want for 4kUHD and Blue Ray? |

Ok gents, I am now hip and have been Handbraking with the best of them. Is there any advantage to keep the larger pre Handbrake version on my cpu?

I keep mine, in case I decide I want to encode differently in the future for whatever reason. HDD space is cheap. I only remux DVD rips, BluRay I just keep raw and transcode on the fly as needed.

I use MakeMKV for the rip and then I run it through Handbrake for file size reduction which also makes playback easier on many devices.
The same process as other posters use. |

Yes big difference, DVD encryption was broken the day after it was released. Blu Ray uses an ever changing key there for you need to use a commercial product that has constant updates. |

I think they have made it way to bloated lately but I still use it to rip DVD/Blu then use handbrake to re-encode to reduce file size. |

Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper works for 99% of the discs out there.
The rest can be done with DVDFab including Blu-ray's. I back up the complete disc and then convert them to my format of choice. Currently that is H264 with a 3.5Mbps bitrate for DVD's and 8Mbps bitrate for Blu-ray's. Not everything can play MKV files so you will wind up transcoding if that's the case. I've done hundreds of disc's over the last several years. HDD space is cheap but it does start to add up. I have at least $6K of HDD's between the main and backup NAS. The main NAS gets enterprise drives (HGST/WD Ultrastar) and the backup NAS gets PMR WD Red's or shucked WD Elements drives. I'm currently moving my parity drives on unRAID to 14TB WD Ultrastar drives from WD Gold 10TB drives. They are $300ea but they are great drives. |
