How to rip DVD's to Mac with handbrake
HandBrake is a free DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later. Follow these steps to use HandBrake to convert your DVDs into MP4 format for storage and playback on your hard drive, or for playback on your video-supported iPod, iPhone and Apple TV.
1. Download and install HandBrake. Insert the DVD you wish to convert into your Mac's DVD drive. If your Mac's DVD Player application opens, quit the DVD Player application. 2. Run HandBrake. Select Detected volume. Click Open and wait as HandBrake detects the titles on your DVD. HandBrake will detect all the titles on the DVD. If you're ripping a movie, just select the longest title in the list. If you're ripping a TV show or something with multiple episodes on one disc, then select the episode you want.  3. Leave the default settings or choose the settings you prefer. For best quality, tick 2-pass encoding. This takes twice as long to encode, but it improves the video quality and doesn't make the file any larger. In Video–Quality, tick Average bitrate and enter 400. This can be as high as 768, but unless you squint you probably won't see much difference. Higher bitrate = higher quality video = larger file size. In Audio-Sample rate (Hz), select 44100. The Sample rate is entirely up to you. Higher sample rate = higher quality audio = larger file size. In Bitrate (kbps), you can keep the default of 128, or select a rate up to 160. Higher rate = higher audio quality = larger file size. 4. Click Rip. Encoding time depends on the speed of your Mac, the length of the movie, and whether you selected 2-pass encoding. Handbrake will display a progress bar. When the progress bar indicates Done, exit HandBrake. If you are going to watch the converted MP4 file on iPod/iPhone, run iTunes and find the .MP4 file that HandBrake created and drag it into your iTunes library, or select Add to Library… from the File menu and select the encoded movie. Tips If the converted MP4 file is still very large, for example more than 4.0 GB, you can turn to a compression program for help.

Hey Im a newbie here......so please bear with me. I hope that I am posting in the right section.
1)I just got an iMAC and downloaded Handbrake and burned the first disk to the WIRE. However, just the first episode burned to my desktop, (there are 3episodes on the first disk). I dont know if I did something wrong, but I cant select all three episodes to download at the same time. Is there a way to download all three episodes at the same time? Or do I have to download each one individually? 2)After I downlaoded the first episode, I dragged it to my iTUNES library, but when I tried to sync up my iPHONE, the episode would not sync to my phone. I have the episode in my iTUNES library so i dont know what is going on. Is there something that I am missing? Can someone please help me!! Alex |
