Handbrake problem
I'm tring to encode Ratatouille to put on my daughter's iPod touch. Yes its a dvd that I bought and legally own.
I've tried several settings. The first was the iPhone preset. Then the high res iPod settings. None will work. When the the cd is insertedit takes a while for handbrake to read the dvd before adding it to the queue and then starting. Once started it finishes the encode in about one minute and says to put down the cocktail. However the mpeg4 file has no content. Just a black screen.
Any ideas. All my other dvd rips before and after have gone off without a hitch.
Ps the dvd plays fine in the computer. I can watch the movie with dvd player just fine.

There are workarounds, but they seem like a real pain.
The workarounds do seem to be a pain.
Oh well, that's one movie that won't make it to my daughter's iPod.
Thanks.
I have a very basic question, if I want to put a movie or TV program from a DVD I've purchased onto my iPod, can this be done directly from Handbreake or does the DVD have to be ripped first to eliminate the copy protection?
In handbrake the dvd is converted to a MPEG 4 file. I drag this into iTunes and then am able to sync with my iPod. It works well. I've never had to use MTR.
The few that didn't work, I ripped using MacTheRipper, then used Handbrake to re-encode the file MTR puts out.
I haven't tried Ratatouille...
Hmmm... I was able to Rip ratatouille. I think what I did was not to rip tracks 1-14 (or whatever the last one is numbered) but to rip from 2-14. Track one the entire length of the movie, while 2-14 add up to it. Try that maybe.
Bob,
I'll try that. Nice suggestion.
Funny, of all the DVDs my kids have that's the one my daughter wants right now.
In addition to "mp4", it also has to have used the appropriate codec, an appropriate frame-rate and resolution and sample-rate to be able to play on the iPod.
