Handbrake is a DVD ripping tool that peole often use on Mac. But Handbrake can’t rip DVDs on its own and you need VLC installed to provide the necessary DVD decrypting libraries. However, If your VLC is 2.0 version, you would find that you can’t rip DVDs with Handbrake after installing it on a Mac cause VLC 2.0 changes the code libraries it uses for decrypting, which means Handbrake won’t be able to find them—and will throw you an error saying it can’t find your VLC installation.

Solutions to VLC 2.0 Breaks Handbrake DVD Ripping

Solution 1: It is very simple: just download the missing library manually. The latest version is libdvdcss 0.10.5. You can download libdvdcss.pkg on Mac OS X from: libdvdcss for Mac OS X.
