“Not dead yet!”

there may be a step you need to do BEFORE Handbrake, etc. If the DVD is protected, you'll have to rip the DVD first. Then Handbrake can do its thing.

It had me download VLC, which I used to have on one of my old machines. Now it seems to be doing its thing. We'll see.

Is this a new "feature"? I've ripped commercial DVDs to iTunes directly from Handbrake with no intermediary step.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

is that right? I have not been able to accomplish this, Jessica.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

Before I discovered MPEG Streamclip, I used Handbrake to rip all my DVD clips for vidding, so I know it's possible. I'll double-check when I get home tonight (I don't have any commercial DVDs here at work).

Hey. New board.

I have also ripped commercial DVDs with Handbrake, though I tended to find it to be slower and less stable, so usually ripped with MacTheRipper first anyway.

It's taking its time, but it appears to be saving as mp4 files. I hate being such a computer idjit sometimes. Oh, and Tep, I'm using OS 10.5.5 right now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm using OS 10.5.5 right now.

I'm thisclose to getting a MacBook Pro (partly b/c if you buy it w/an education discount -- my mom works at a high school -- you get a free iPod Touch), but the only thing holding me back is not wanting to upgrade most of the software I use for my freelance jobs (Quark XPress, Photoshop CS). The versions are *just* old enough that they don't play well with Leopard (we've had problems at work with Leopard and older software versions), and I just don't want to deal with it right now.

I want one of the new MacBook Pros in the worst way! I'd really like to have the faster speed and greater memory. (I am SOOOO Tim Taylor-- I grunt and everything.) I think I'll treat myself if I sell a book.

Okay, it's "muxing" whatever that is.

Okay, I goobered, which was to be expected. It copied it as a movie to iTunes when all I wanted were the songs. Huh. What did I do wrong?
