I've been making digital backup copies of my DVD's and Blu-Ray discs for my home PLEX media server for several years now using Make MKV and Handbrake. Recently however, I learned how to simplify the entire process by configuring Handbrake to both rip and encode movies rather than having to use Make MKV to rip and then switching to Handbrake to encode. I also learned how to enable GPU Encoding in HandBrake, i.e. Intel QuickSync, AMD VCE and Nvidia NVENC to make the video encoding process go much more quickly! In the following video I made in 2018 • How to Create a Digita... using an Intel i7-4790K CPU it took me 20-ish minutes to rip a disc and then about the length of the movie being backed up to encode it with Handbrake. So a 2 hour movie took about 2 hours to encode; making the entire backup process for one movie take about 2 hours and 20 minutes. In this video it still takes 20-ish minutes to rip a DVD or Blu-Ray disc however when using GPU Encoding with HandBrake that 2 hour encode time has been cut down to around 20 minutes as well!!! Yes, you read that right; instead of it taking almost 2-1/2 hours to create a digital back up copy of a movie for your home media server it can now be done in 30 to 50 minutes depending on the length of the movie being backed up. If this sounds good to you then you're going to enjoy this video. Have fun!

How do you complete this process on a mac?
what does this mean?
Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/VIDEO_TS/VTS_07_1.VOB' at offset '0'
Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading 'DVD+R-DL hp DVD A DS8ACSH LHS3' at offset '0'
Not sure if you've figured this out yet, but concerning the English audio tracks, if you go into the Audio tab in HandBrake you'll see Audio Tracks, and an "Add Tracks" dropdown button you can click to change the audio track you wish to encode with the video. I noticed this after encoding Godzilla Vs. Hedorah when it chose Japanese audio by default. I switched it to English, and it worked. Just a heads up since you mentioned it in the video.
I would just use vudu disc to digital but that costs a lot quick
If you can used DVDShrink, you can see which track is what.
One thing that you should always do with video transcoding in Handbrake is to work with the original frame rate. NTSC DVD’s are 29.97 interlaced frames per second, even though the theatrical movies they carry are 24fps. Blu-ray movies are typically 24fps. Select “Same as original”, and variable frame rate. In filters, you need to concern yourself with de-interlacing DVD content. Select “Decomb”. Most Blu-rays today have 1080p (progressive scan) content, so you can turn that feature off for those types of files. Blu-rays, however, can also have some standard def interlaced video (480i, the same as DVD) for special features, and if this is the case, use the settings previously described for DVD. In the end, matching frame rates and de-interlacing/decombing where necessary will make the movement in your renders look much smoother.
How do you determine if you need de-interlacing and fps on the special features of a disk? Can some program tell you this info?
@@Robber7 If it is a Region 1 NTSC DVD, it will ALWAYS require de-interlacing. If it is A DVD, when you capture with MAKE_MKV, you will see the video format. If it’s MPEG-2, you’re most likely looking at SD interlaced video as the source…you are given all the specs when you highlight the title.
That should read if a BLU-RAY…
The best way to tell which track is which is by...
Open the dvd or blu ray in VLC (open vlc, press media at the top > open disk and select the dvd or BR
Play the movie that you want (English for example) via the on screen menu
When it starts playing, go to playback and the top > title and it will tell you the title number that matches in handbrake. The one that is playing is the one with the dot next to it.
The UK inbetweeners has 96 titles so this helped me there
Thanks man. :)
How did you get vlc to play the BD? I put the keydb.cfg & aacs files in place and get 'Blu-ray error: No valid processing key found in AACS config file'.
OMG, I have just started backing up my massive Blu-Ray collection. This video will save SO MUCH time! Thank you!!
Your videos are awesome basically I'm still a beginner when it comes to digitally recording my Bluray collection and updating my desktop for both gaming and processing videos, you make it simple to understand and put out subject matter that I'm curious about, .keep it up, thanks.
Thank you! Been looking for an easy straight forward break down of this process!!
I must be SUPER AWESOME cause I watched all the way through. No, really thanks for taking the time to do this & going over all the little details that most do not. And even gave the proper links to download all that's needed for digitizing all my DVDS. Would like to see you do something on the various codecs, aspect ratios, etc. Thanks a Bunch!!
I subscribed because you seem to be a genuinely nice dude!! You were also a big help in helping me set up handbrake couldn't have done it without you! Thanks so much!!
Great video! Helped me speed things up by choosing the right encoder for my GPU! I knew I was missing something from my previous handbreak transcodes!
New to handbrake and this is the first video I've come across, out of dozens, that informs and explains how to use your graphics card to encode in handbrake. Liking and subscribing for that reason, great video!
You should know I also have a followup video to this one where I take look at the difference in the final output file sizes. Although GPU encoding is faster than CPU encoding the final output files are larger. th-cam.com/video/FsTtMERkFbE/w-d-xo.html
@@Maraksot78 does winxdvd ripper work for blurays?
I honestly can't believe I didn't know about copying the DLLs from MakeMKV! I don't currently want to keep full backups, so this saves me a step!
Dang! You just saved me 36 hours of encoding. I was ripping from MakeMKV and then use HandBrake to do the encoding and that is going to take me 36+ hours. I found your method and it took me 50 minutes. What an amazing method you have. Thanks a lot and I Subscribed!
bro what are you even encoding taking over 36 hours 💀
and I don't even encode AV1 movies that long
@@simulping4371 I think he is talking about the time of a bunch of them
Just letting everyone know that in May 2021 THIS TUTORIAL WORKS!!!! both regular DVDs and Blu-ray. some DVDs are getting really old and worn so i need to convert those that are around 15- 20 yrs old to put them on my plex. Thanks Mraksot78. sending you virtual hugs
Curious if you've encountered any problems with Blu-ray since this post? DVDs work but every Blu-ray I've tried crashes Handbrake as soon as I launch the job. Completely uninstalled/reinstalled Handbrake and all dll's but stil no go.
@@bereantrb I've run into the same problem, I've narrowed it down to being an issue in the preferences of makemkv, you have to enable the use of the .dll file outside makemkv. But I that's all I've got so far, I'll let you know when I got the rest figured out.
I am resorting to using the 'backup' option of makemkv and then import that into handbrake.
Very well done video, apprecazite your efforts.
I did everything you described but got stopped at running HandBrake as it couldn't find a video on my BluRay. What I ended up doing was using MakeMKV to directly read the BluRay disc and then ran HandBrake to convert the MK4 file created into an MP4 file for my streaming pleasure. Hope this helps anyone out there with a similar problem.
i was at work, and i wanted to watch the martian. and i realized it was only on services i'm not currently subscribed to... so now i'm learning how to set up a plex server or whatever and just rip my blu-rays, because like a dolt i sold all my download codes when i opened the discs. lol your video was super easy to follow and concise. hopefully i can get this all figured out and be able to stream my blu-ray movie copies from work now :)
To change the audio overdub language to Espanol or Francais, the setting is on the "Audio" tab under the :Audio Tracks" dropdown menu. By default HandBrake is set to: 1 English (AC3) (5.1 ch) (448 kbps)
I just used this to back my copy of Son of Godzilla so I can watch it on a tablet, or set top console blu ray player. (The one I encoded was an old AVI I had from years ago.) My factory copy is packed in the garage, in a box from moving. Thank you for this informative video it helped me tremendously! Especially in regards to encoding some of my physical factory discs to use with my tablet. Yes, I can watch them on the blu ray player, but it's in the bedroom, and the treadmill is not, lol. Cheers, and thanks again!
Wow! It worked just like you said it would. Greatly appreciated!
I have been doing it the way you showed in the older video, and after It’s sometimes I get no audio with the movie, or it’s in French or there’s someone narrating the whole movie. What step/steps am I missing
This is a brilliant explanation as I have wanted to do this as my Panasonic dvd recorder will only read certain blu rays so experimentation is needed as the videos seem to be of a Different file format only read by these player/recorders is AVCHD
this is an amazing guide! thanks so much
Love It. I want to build a PC and that Ryzon processor looks like it will help me cut my time. My 4K movies take like a day to finish in Handbrake .
Great video , I have been using the older way . You show us on the older video . Am not that great with all the newer way but using MKV and Handbrake work OK for me but Going to put this video in my favorites . To try when I feel daring Thank you again for all u do for all of us..Stay Safe...
Thanks for checking out the video. I like this method a lot because once you've got things set up you only need to use HandBrake to both rip and encode. And of course using GPU encoding is a HUGE time saver which is very exciting to me. :D
Do you know if all of your dll tricks will work the same way in VidCoder since that program is just a GUI for Handbrake?
Hello again. I watch your two videos related to digital copy and now I want to rerip my movie collection with your suggested settings (HQ 1080p30) but I have one question about the audio tab, do you stick with stereo aac and 5.1 ac3. And if yes, why?why not EAC3 because is better then AC3. In the past i just kept Ac3 640 no stereo track. Love your video !!!
Is this really a better option to do than the first? Seems like a lot more steps than using MKV and then handbrake to compress. So you’re pretty much just use Make mkv to get the DDL file into handbrake and that’s it. You don’t use it anymore? I’m running a Mac is there any difference? Thanks again for everything in advance and thanks for your hard work. It really helps.
Love the content. It was the driving factor that made me upgrade from my AMD 5700xt to the Nvidia RTX 3080 so I could access the Nvenc encoder. The AMD encoder was OK but the size to quality ratio is nothing like the Nvenc. I really want to try the Intel encoder but I don't have anything Intel in my house at the moment since I run the 5900x. The 12900k will be my next upgrade (or next generation after 12th gen). Thanks!
thanks! was trying handbrake and vlc on my ubuntu machine to rip a dvd b4 i saw this, it was a waste of time... will take what i saw here and give another shot and as a last resort duplicate what you did on my windows machine... thank you again
Thank you for this update. How do I paste the files into Handbrake on a Mac?
Hi ! Thanks for this excellent video. Question : Is it possible to back up cd that are copyrigt also ?
I did everything you said to do and it still doesn’t decode a dvd. Has anything changed as of a year after this video was released?
in handbrake it scans the titles of my blu ray and reaches 100%( scanning the titles) but never goes away further. Any idea what could be happening?
I have some DVDs and BDs that have nice extras, making it better to backup as ISO. How can I bypass CC on these disks to make them ISO?
Hi there - great video. Do you know how to convert a bluray file (from MakeMKV) in handbrake whilst burning in the subtitles? I've tried all the 'burn in' options in handbrake, but can't seem to figure this out. Thanks
Glad this method still works but, you make to register MKV first
My mic worked but since a day he doesn't get recognisezd by my pc when plugged in how to fix
Fantastic YT video Maraksot78! Thank you. I can finally say goodbye to doing it the hard way, which I have been doing for years. DVD Decrypter > Avidemux > Handbrake. This compacts the process to one app. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Liked & Subscribed
What would be the best way to rip the highest quality you can from a DVD? I imagine just choosing a high resolution would mess with the quality.
Genio. Funcionó de maravilla. Gracias. Me suscribo.
just curious what external bluray burner would you recommend
Just found this and wondering if this still works now in 2022? Also, this seems more geared to ripping blu rays - is make mkv needed still or can this be done easier with VLC? Also, would it be faster to do a straight whole copy rather than just selecting certain files to copy?
If you are buying a graphics card specifically to help with encoding, any idea if intel, and, or nvidea is best for speed
Great tour in the program :-)
Is the file copying process the same for macOS? Like someone else mentioned, I, too, was using both MakeMKV and Handbrake separately on macOS, but if the file-copying process is the same, I’ll try that instead.
Whenever I use the GPU encoding all of my monitors turn red or white and I have to repeatedly reload the GPU drivers in order to see my screens. The encoding process continues throughout this. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue or what is causing it. I have GTX 1080 on latest drivers that works perfectly for gaming.
I've added the 2 files to HandBrake but it says "no valid source or title found" I'm using a Blu Ray player trying to rip/ encode a Blu Ray movie but do I need the DVD file even though I'm using Blu Ray?
Merry Christmas....Do you have a time per gig estimate that a person could use as a comparison? I have Terabytes of SD quality Mp4 that I would like to reduce the file size of..I am going to be looking at the after xmas sales and would like to know what specs to look for?
why i cant use amd vce?? my vga card rx 570 with intel i5 3420
I need to upgrade my computer. The one I have is 10 years old and it takes 24 hours or more to backup a 4k disc with handbrake. Could you recommend what I need for efficient hardware to create in the time frame you stated in this video. Is their a computer that comes with everything in the cabinet? Please be specific for I am not computer literate.
Is there a way to do this on Mac, I couldn't find the files to copy from MakeMKV to HandBrake on Mac.
If you are just ripping DVD should I still be using 1080p 30 surround?
I will to one of these day..have a great night brother....THanks...
Can you recommend a decent external Blu ray/DVD drive? I would like to start ripping my movie collection. I first want to make sure that the external Blu ray/DVD drive will be compatible with Handbrake.
What is the reason to use the mkvmaker rather than just using the handbreak only?
Is it because the source is blue-ray?
If it is just dvd, does it still requires the mkvmaker step?
Thank you! You are much appreciated!!
Can you tell me how to make handbrake give it in full aspect ratio, instead of a square with the sides cut off? Would be very useful! Thanks
ever run handbrake in an ubuntu VM and have encoding times that are acceptable and achieve 4k video and 7.1 HD surround sound?
Hey man one question
- Why do you recommend gpu encoding? because everyone like on reddit/a lot other yt videos say that the quality is very bad in comparision. I also tested the legend of tarzan and NVEnc produces red artifacts for me with h26510bit CQ20 Medium (the movie is 4K HDR) The beginning is very gray but gpu encoding produces red artifacts there
what's the fastest speed blu ray drive external drive for ripping blu rays
I noticed when I went to get a copy of the file libdvdcss.dll, the file became BZ2 file where as on your video it stayed a dll file. Also my computer warned me this file could harm my device. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful.
Though I'm coming up with an issue; Handbreak keeps crashing when it finishes scanning the source Blu-Ray.
I need help! I tried the mainstream and Nightly build of Handbreak and it still crashes while it's finishing the scan from blu-ray disk source. I've tested it with multiple movies..
It's strange because it was working fine for one Blu-Ray but then started acting up and now won't finish the initial scan for anything.
Thank you for this detailed video, any chance you can share what external blu-ray drive model # and firmware you used? I've been using 123CopyDVD for about 10 years now, until my last W10 update botched the key & password. And at this moment it looks like the maker is gone and no longer supports this product. If this doesn't fit the bill, I might give WinX ripper platinum a try.
What if i want english with spanish subtitles, works? have you try other setting? to make the movie look even better?
Would I be able to do this using an external Blu-Ray drive and a MacBook Air?
Is there a way to make a dvd 1:1 copy with menus and features
I like this video, very informative, he is amusing well worth watching
will this same process work the same on a Mac?
When it comes to selecting the best quality format for ripping Blu-ray, MKV is always the top choice since it can encompass audio, video, pictures, and subtitle tracks in one single file while keeping the quality almost intact to that of Blu-rays.
What You Need to Rip a Blu-ray to MKV:
● Your Blu-ray discs.
● A Blu-ray disc drive. If your computer came with any disc drive at all, it was probably a DVD drive. However, you'll need a Blu-Ray reader in order to rip your Blu-Ray discs (obviously). An external good Blu-ray drive can be purchased for as little as $25.
Note: If you want to rip 4K UHD Blu-rays, you'll need to get a 4K Blu-ray drive.
● A program to rip the files like EaseFab Blu-ray Ripper
Thanks very much for your time and effort for this video.. still works today [june2023] as long as you have Handbrake v1.3.1, doesn't work with 1.6.1 for me anyway.. running some tests on the quality that it puts out compared to BD-Rebuilder, but they both use ffMpeg and NVEnc (Nvidia GFX card) so they should be the same... cheers [EDIT] only down side I can see is that the handbrake method needs to have the disc spinning continuously, whereas MakeMkv rip to a multistream .mkv file. no more use of the disc drive, as well as that .mkv can be played back at full quality, if required.
thank you soo much for this reply. i have been trying to get this to work for HOURS. v1.3.1, really did the trick.
I have added the three .dll files and have triple checked them, libbdplus, libaacs, and libdvdcss-d. When I start handbrake v 1.3.3-x86_64-Win I see my DVD with my movie in Source Selection, I click on it and after the title search is done I still get the "No Valid Source or Titles Found" Message. Any clues for me on what to do next?
Where is the video description? How do I access it to get the links?
Hmmm...for some reason even though I did all three DLL's and made sure I named them correctly, Handbrake works for DVD's but I still get the "No valid source" error on Bluray's. ☹
when i click the link makemkv to download it is bring this message up Account Suspended. Not sure if that something I have done or what.
DVD ripping works but all my Bluerays give me an error about DRM protected disc. I did up grade my firmware on my LG drive.
Watch til the end. Liked & Subscribed.
Thank you for sharing the very helpfull information
Does this do blu ray disc to backup
what do i do to fix these no valid source or titles found handbrake
Why would Make MKV have an error " Automatic SDF downloading is disabled or failed."?
To make sure you have the correct audio track open the dvd in vlc player and click on play movie then click on audio in the top bar and highlight audio track it will show track number and time stamp this also works for the video file i had a dvd that i had to use this method with because the automatically selected audio and video tracks did not line up
Also, why did you choose Index of /pub/libdvdcss/1.2.12/win64/ instead of the newer versions?
The newer vesions are just Linux downloads
Thank you for the video and making it easy to understand
You're welcome Charles. Been getting some good use out of that PC I hope. :D
Maraksot78 Of course Star Wars Jedi fallen empire on Epic settings I’m getting 98 FPS at 1080p
Well I'm very happy to hear that. I imagine it's a little better than what you were gaming on before? 😅 I really like the 5600XT, it's a great card; lots of power for 1080p and even 1440p gaming.
I'm new to all this, so how is this better than just using makemkv?
Can you do the same thing in MacOS ?
Does this work for every Blu-Ray you've tried it with? HandBrake recognizes one movie I tried but when I attempted to backup the first disc of a TV Show it failed to recognize it, even though MakeMKV had no problem with the same disc.
They always want us to subscribe but wont respond to a valid question. Same here. Handbrake will say "No valid Source Can be found" and of one of the reasons is DRM. If you make videos like this please address everything.
anybody got help
i have lumons game headphones i was in discord call and all the sudden my mic stopped working it wont work on pc on anything but i can hear sound anybody got help please
Thanks for the help! Is it weird that my GPU only gets to 3-4% utilization? Is there a way to force it to use more and make the process quicker?
The encoder does not utilize the full GPU. You also typically don't see much of a difference between high end and low end cards either. GeForce cards are capable of doing up to 3 simultaneous encodes so you may find increased performance if you run two separate copies of handbrake. Depends on how much CPU overhead you have I suppose. I have two going right now and it's using 100% of i7-5960x 4.5ghz and 75% of RTX 3080.
DVDs work but sadly Blu-ray ripping does not work for me. As soon as I start a Blu-ray job Handbrake immediately crashes. I uninstalled/reinstalled Handbrake and all the dll's but still no luck. The other method I've seen works, it just takes A LOT longer (rip full video with MakeMKV, then convert with Handbrake). This looks great. I hope I find a solution.
I coulda swore the first time I watched this video it was letting me use my gpu, and now for some reason the option is grayed out...weird.
Thanks.. I assume burning 3D blueray is just a matter of selecting the correct 3D track.. (Assume) is that correct? I so far have ripped a standard blue ray, still trying 3D side by side. My Player (internal sata to MB) seems to see all the tracks. Do I need a special DVD player to read 3D?- update: both available tracks on imax under the sea - 3D came out non-side by side?.Thanks..
I would imagine so. I've never ripped a 3D blu-ray before.
Is there much of a difference using nVidia NVENC on different generations of cards (e.g. 970 v 1070 v 2060/70)?
Yes. Nvidia 30 series should produce the best results currently.
Thanks for the helpful video my friend
No problem 👍
I’ve ripped some DVDs with makemkv thinking nothing was wrong but sometimes in the middle of the film it just skips ahead 10 seconds, or skips to the end of the film and stops playing. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.
Really?
That's very strange.
I haven't had this problem at all.
In fact, if my film doesn't rip properly the entire process is bust.
I don't even know how what you're describing is possible.
You do go through a verification process at the start don't you?
And, maybe your drive is defective.
I mean the disk reader.
For the 'identifying the correct track' thing you were talking about, most bluray titles usually have '100' as the last three digits in the mpls for the English version. Disney blurays (like Marvel or Star Wars), usually have *'800'* as the last three digits in an mpls list for the correct English version. Just look for the last three digits: 100 for most titles, 800 for Disney titles.
@maraksot78, care to make an external BD recommendation? I am starting my journey into digital and have seen most of your videos on the subject. A lot easier to comprehend versus other hosts. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your kind compliment. As for a recommendation for an external blu-ray drive... I don't know. I haven't used any personally. I had an Asus internal bru-ray drive in my old PC and when I upgraded to a new case without 5.25" bays I bought pretty much the only enclosure available on Amazon that will accommodate a 5.25" DVD or blu-ray drive. Personally I like to stick with brands I've heard of or just go with something that has good reviews/a good rating. Sorry I'm not more help. :)
As someone who uses Handbrake to soft code subtitles (able to turn em on/off) fiddling with the settings i found that if left alone it should auto select the files for your language but there is a way to manually specify languages for audio and subtitles. Within the tabs there is a setting for SELECTION BEHAVIOUR
Hey man Love your videos AWESOME! One question though. When I copy the vlc file into handbrake it works but when I push start encode it always cuts out like at a min or so? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again for all the work you do.
First of all thanks so much for the very kind compliment. I ran into the same issue using a Ryzen 3 1200 CPU when working on another video. I'm sad to say I didn't investigate it further because I didn't have the time to really sort it out and for the video I didn't really need to. I had that CPU overclocked to 3.8Ghz and I wonder if that overclock wasn't quite stable but like I said I didn't really investigate it so I don't know for sure what was causing it. Sorry I can't be of more help.
i noticed that handbrake seems to make the audio stereo only unless you tell it what to do eg 5.1 dd if a dvd is backed up.
You can change the audio type by clicking on the mix, and you can select available options based on the track you are importing. (Mono, stereo, DD5.1, DTS, etc.) You can also use the Passthru if your audio hardware supports it. This embeds the original audio without transcoding it. (Apple TV does not support DD AC3 or DTS, it looks for AAC encoding)
Very helpful! Thx!
2024 - I've now updated both Handbrake and MakeMKV, copied the file mentioned in this video, twice (and renaming as directed) and am using the same libdvdcss.dll file from the description's link. I did go through all of the folders and there was not dll file, just project files. I'm not sure if there's a way to generate it from those, but it doesn't matter, because it still worked.
MakeMKV would not update through the software, I had to download a new installer for it, which removed the old copy and installed the new. Handbrake updated through the existing software. I likely hadn't updated the software in a year or two, I'm guessing that since my last comment two years ago, I didn't try this.
I can confirm that I was able to open up a Blu-ray that I'd just received, that was giving me a DRM error before updating. I'm sure YMMV depending on the DVD/Blu-ray disc.
