 The main tool we’ll be using to rip DVDs is called [[https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake|Handbrake]], which [[https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases|you can download here]]. Out of the box, Handbrake can rip any DVD that isn’t copy protected…but almost all DVDs you buy in the store //are// copy protected. Getting around this is a [[https://www.howtogeek.com/138969/why-watching-dvds-on-linux-is-illegal-in-the-usa/|weirdly gray area legally]], so applications like Handbrake can’t legally include the software needed to decrypt copy protected DVDs. You can, however, download it separately—as long as you’re just using this to watch a movie on your computer and not starting a bootlegging business, we promise we won’t tell on you. The main tool we’ll be using to rip DVDs is called [[https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake|Handbrake]], which [[https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases|you can download here]].

 We’ll be using a free DVD playback library called libdvdcss. This will let Handbrake read your encrypted DVDs and rip them to your computer. The process is a little different for Windows and Mac users, so we’ll go through each one individually. Note that you don’t have to do this every time you rip a DVD—once libdvdcss is installed, you can skip to Step One each time you rip a new disc. We’ll be using a free DVD playback library called libdvdcss.

 I had previously converted these videos using the “decomb” filter in the Handbrake video conversion tool. Decomb is supposed to intelligently smooth out the video. But I’ve recently learned that it throws away half of the information and then guesses how to fill in the gaps. The details are boring, but think of a world where index cards are expensive, so you write on both the front and back – and then you reconstruct your thoughts later using only the front sides. I had previously converted these videos using the “decomb” filter in the Handbrake video conversion tool.

 You can tell Handbrake to set the interlaced flag on a video by entering “interlace=tff” (or bff) in the Advanced Options on the GUI, or by specifying “-x interlace=tff” (or bff) to the command-line version. “tff” and “bff” mean top or bottom frame first, which you can find using the mediainfo program. You can tell Handbrake to set the interlaced flag on a video by entering “interlace=tff” (or bff) in the Advanced Options on the GUI, or by specifying “-x interlace=tff” (or bff) to the command-line version. “tff” and “bff” mean top or bottom frame first, which you can find using the mediainfo program.
