May 29, 2016  Here's an app which we think will be useful for you if you need to convert video formats from time to time. Get used to work with Handbrake, because it is multiplatform, so you'll be able to use it on Mac, Windows and Linux. You can choose any video format as input. It supports any kind of DVd, no matter if it is protected or not.

Have been using Handbrake continuously for about 4 years, still seems to work fine for me. I initially installed it on my 2013 MacBook Air under Mountain Lion and downloaded libdvdcss at that time. Upgraded to Sierra last summer, not sure if I have ripped any commerical DVD's since then but I think I have. Currently running Handbrake 1.0.7 Also have it on my 2012 quad mini which has a clean install of Sierra and it works fine. I use it frequently to process video that I shoot and edit myself (seems faster than Apple Compressor and makes smaller files). Did not install libdvdcss on that machine and don't think I've ripped any commercial DVD's on it. So Handbrake itself certainly works.

Don't think I've ever seen it crash. And it is really fast on newer hardware - I was in the middle of ripping about 1200 DVD's when I upgraded from a 2008 15' MBP with a 2.4ghz core2duo CPU.

• Step 8: Underneath it you’ll see a “Format” option. • Step 7: If you look to the right, there’s tab named Erase, click it. Format hard drive for mac and windows. If it’s an internal drive partition then it should also appear in the left nav bar as whatever you named it after partitioning. Here you’ll find a drop down menu with MS-DOS (FAT), which you would select if you’re planning on using the drive with Windows and Mac systems or installing Windows; and Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which you should select if you plan on using the drive solely with Mac computers or installing another version of Mac OS.

It took about 75 minutes to rip a one hour black and white TV show on that machine. My 2013 i7 MacBook Air did the same thing in about 20 minutes.

Forget paying for a program to to your computer ever again. Considering HandBrake doesn't cost a dime, the application delivers exceptional results. Handbrake for Mac lets you perform two-pass conversions and codify a double soundtrack.

Another great feature is the bitrate calculator, which alters the quality of the video according to the final file size you wish to achieve. You can even trim the black bands around a movie to maximize the size of the file. Other features worth mentioning are chapter selection, basic subtitle support (burned into the picture) and grayscale encoding.

Simple to use Converting any type of DVD through a simple-to-understand GUI, the program whizzes through the process of producing an MPEG-4 file to save on your machine. Note that you'll need to have the right codecs installed for the type of file you wish to convert such as DivX, Xvid, OGM, 3ivx, etc. Handbrake supports any DVD-like source such as VIDEO_TS folders,.VOB,.TS files, DVD images and real DVD.

However, unencrypted-protection methods including CSS are not supported internally and must be handled externally with third-party software and libraries. Although I experienced a couple of crashes with this version of HandBrake for Mac, it's nevertheless a great open source solution for ripping your DVDs. By Anonymous Good tool for converting videos.

Docker gitlab install. I'm pretty new to Gitlab.com's CI and to docker. Now my issue is that I want to run a my own version of pelican. I have a simple python pelican static blog that builds with a simple.gitlab-ci.yml image: python:2.7-alpine pages: script: - pip install -r requirements.txt - pelican -s publishconf.py artifacts: paths: - public So I see that it specifies a python docker image, uses pip to install various python scripts, then runs pelican all within that image.

By Anonymous Not that simple. After the free download it will ask you to also have VLC media player, you will not be able to use it without the VLC download, it will automatically reject any DVD loading until this step is completed. This is not simple and easy because you then have to set up the player, not user friendly and does not load DVD easy as previous reviews have said, be prepared to spend some time messing around and then spending more time making sure it rips 5.1 surround sound for your Apple TV application.
