– I have done a little testing on Windows 10 64-bit and this wasn’t working for me, I didn’t have a lot of time to test things so you may have better results. Hope this helps this problem was making me upset because some of the other copy tools just suck and give you a slow copy that looks like garbage. Now you should be able to make copies of your DVDs and all should be good, if you have a newer computer it should take about 30-50 minutes a movie, it took me 34 minutes to make a backup copy of Avatar on my system so times will vary. Also the process may be much faster, nothing scientific but it didn’t take as long on the same system to rip a normal length movie. Ubuntu / Mint Linux: I have switched to Linux Mint and after installing Handbrake I was able to just make copies of some of my disks with no extra library’s I’ll list the steps below, you may also need to enable “ Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)”.

Note: For MAC OS users if you have problems ripping DVDs you can also do the same trick to get it to work, just download the libdvdcss from and rename it to libdvdcss.dylib and put it in the /usr/lib/ The one I have for the download dose work with the newest version of Handbrake. If you use a different version then latest let me know and I’ll give it a try. Note: Some have said you can just get the libdvdcss from I tried it with the latest version and all I got was garbage video, even tried with the name libdvdcss-2.dll and libdvdcss.dll and no luck. Note: Make sure you download the Handbrake 64-bit version, and rename the DLL to libdvdcss.dll its what worked for me. For a good Handbrake for Windows tutorial go to

Rename the libdvdcss-2.dll to libdvdcss.dll in your Handbrake install folder. ( C:\Program Files\Handbrake ).Download the libdvdcss 64-Bit from VideoLan at and move it to your Handbrake install location.Download (64 bit) Handbrake for Windows from and Install it.
Here are the step by steps to get things up and running. Glyxor on the forums talks about using libdvdcss.dll from the GStreamer install to get this to work. I have found on the Handbrake forums a post that says all you need is one DLL file and you can get things going.

The only problem is that it doesn’t work in Windows 7 + 8 64-Bit or other 64-Bit Windows so what do you do? But when working with it on Windows you had to get a program called DVD43 that would unlock your DVD so you could make a backup of the video. So if you are into getting your DVDs onto a computer for viewing on the go or just because you want to box up those disks and you can’t find the show on Netflix or what not you have heard of Handbrake for converting video files.
