Mac360 - Handbrake to get store bought DVD’s on your Mac/iPod

Mac360 - Put DVD Movies On Your Mac. Use Your Handbrake.Mac 360’s review of Handbrake outlines an application that my family and friends have asked for to allow them to get their DVD’s on their iPod’s. I’m not a fan of those people who do this with DVD’s from BlockBuster but if you buy the DVD I think you should be able to play it anywhere. As I have ripped all of my CD’s to my iPod, I would expect to be able to do the same with the DVD’s. I even wish I could do this with the ones pulled from DISH on PPV.For now, take a look at this review of Handbrake.  Also, MacTheRipper  - another Mac Appl. for doing this.

The latest version of Handbrake comes with a bunch of presets for the Mac. That’s handy if you plan to use your iPod. This is good for both backing up DVD’s and playing them on things like the Apple TV and iPod… Simply put, Handbrake will make a copy of nearly any copy protected DVD, encrypted or unencrypted with CSS, PAL or NTSC, AC-3, LPCM, or MPEG audio. If you don’t know what all that means, don’t worry. Handbrake makes it easy. … When it copies a DVD movie for AppleTV and iTunes you’ll end up with MPEG-4 or H.264, with a few other options available. The long and short is– Handbrake copies DVDs so you can back them up or play them via iTunes for AppleTV– or iPod, or Sony Playstation 3.
