Handbrake crashing

If you find yourself getting frustrated with Handbrake constantly crashing on your DVD ripping, don’t worry. First, there are plenty of new DVDs that quit handbrake, so you’re not alone. Second there are other solutions, I’m sure how on Linux or Windows but on the Mac it’s easy.

  1.  Rip the DVD with Mac the Ripper
  2. Encode it with  VisualHub. I think their free version of iSquint will work but I’ve found VisualHub my favorite encoder on the Mac outside of handbrake.

    VisualHub only encodes the main title, so if you're trying to rip a DVD of a TV series you'll only get one episode.

    I think iSquint only converts to iPod format (as opposed to, say, Apple TV or .avi).
