Handbrake DVD Rip Scrambled on macOS 

Overview

Do you need to record a dvd clip for commentary? Chances are you will use Handbrake since it is free, open source, and actively developed.

Installation

Since I am using macOS, I like to install HandBrake using brew.

brew install handbrake

DVD Recording

Now that HandBrake is installed, insert your dvd and start recording! However, you will get a scrambled mess 🙁 because the dvd is encrypted.

Scrambled DVD recording. Scrambled DVD recording.

Not a problem. Close HandBrake and install libdvdcss library with brew.

brew install libdvdcss

Open Handbrake and your recording will no longer be scrambled.
