We ’ve long lovedHandBrake , the free , open - source forripping DVD . But if you ’ve upgraded to the recently - releasedVLC Player 2.0 , you may have encountered a HandBrake problem .
If you upgrade to VLC Player 2.0 , HandBrake will likely show you this error when you attempt to rive a DVD .
That ’s because HandBrake requires VLC to read ( and then transcode ) encrypted videodisk — and most videodisc you’re able to buy these days are indeed encrypted . And the latest version of VLC in reality changes which code libraries it uses for videodisk decrypting and playback , meaning HandBrake can no longer take advantage of the library it ’s long depended upon for that purpose . So if you ’ve upgraded to VLC Player 2.0 and attempt to rip a DVD with HandBrake , you ’ll find an misplay message suggesting that you do n’t have the right variant of VLC set up .
If you upgrade to VLC Player 2.0, HandBrake will likely show you this error when you attempt to rip a DVD.
fortuitously , there ’s an easy fix . First , you could download an sure-enough copy of VLC and rename your newer variation , but that ’s irritating . The better solution is to download the missing librarydirectly from VLC . At that link , you may either download an installer parcel , which place the subroutine library where it belong , or download thelibdvdcss.2.dylibfile directly . If you take the latter selection , you need to move that single file to / usr / lib / on your Mac . The installer does that for you .
When I start the installer , however , it mesh up after a few seconds , and I finally take to pressure - quit it . It had in fact installed the depository library in the right topographic point , though , so everything turn out okay .
Once that file ’s in the right-hand place , HandBrake will blithely begin encode protected videodisc successfully again , and you may keep on using the latest translation of VLC , too .
