Believe me, I have an entire library of DVD’s that I have collected over the years and I simply wished to have them electronically available for the room mates here. It was easy enough to rip them and place them on a 10TB HDD. Lately, I have been converting all my old H264 mp4’s to a newer H265 format. This has the net effect of reducing file size without loss of audio or video quality. In any case, since I still retain the originals, I am in no danger of facing copyright infringement (I don’t share online).<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hope this helps.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Eric</div><div class="">From the Central Offices of the Technomage Gild, Multimedia Production Unit.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 4, 2021, at 5:43 PM, Snyder, Alexander J via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org" class="">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="auto" class="">TIL you can use VLC to rip raw content.

Not having libdvdcss in the flatpak sandbox would probably be the
culprit. I just tried installing the flatpak myself to see if I
could figure out how to make handbrake aware of the dvdcss library
and immediately remembered why I got rid of any and all flatpak
stuff on my system. It wanted to download a gigabyte of support
flatpak crap to go along with the handbrake install. That might be
fine if I was going to use a ton of flatpaked stuff, but it's seems
rather excessive for the one or 2 flatpaks I've ever come across
that I might want. <br class="">
...so it didn't get installed. I'll find a different way to get the
latest version on my system.<br class="">

Without that installed the system has no way to decrypt
your DVDs so they will appear pixelated<br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">Recently I reinstalled Handbrake to

Previously it was a deb package but it appears
Handbrake has moved to Flatpak for Linux

<div class="">This version of Handbrake is not working for me
and I'm struggling to understand what I am doing
wrong. When Handbrake scans the DVD it does not
find anything. I have to open and start the DVD in
VLC and then Handbrake it will find it in its
scan. What it does find shows as pixelated in both
the preview as well as any rip it makes for me.
I've tried a handful of the presets and no matter
what I chose I get the same pixelated output.</div>
