MacX DVD Ripper is a far superior product. It is well worth the 30-40 bucks to spend on it. It crushes through the latest encrypted DVD’s, including Rango, Transformers 3, etc. You can also convert to many more types of output formats than any other software.

I’ve used Handbrake, DVD Shrink, MacTheRipper (no longer works on Lion), and this is by far the best experience. Brilliant product.

This Handbrake seems to not work very well. I think it hangs on my computer… so maybe my 10.5.8 is too old?

In iTunes, use the “Get Info” option. Go to options and there you can change “Media Kind” in TV Show

What if the DVD is a tv show rather than a movie? I downloaded Handbrake, and I have VLC so it ripped the DVD, but it appears to have ripped only the first episode, leaving the other titles behind. Is there a setting I can change in Handbrake or a better program I can download?
Thanks.

Handbrake does require VLC to work but it allows you to save as m4a or same video format iTunes use for digital copy dvd’s and podcasts. So its easy to remember your place when watching movies, like iTunes does it thing. Only drawback, a powerful computer will half the time of ripping a movie .. takes 1 to 5 hours.
