Help: How to rip DVD on Mac? Is there a DVD ripper for mac that is compatible with the new system?

My family used to have a bunch of classic cartoon DVDs, such as the original disc of "Castle in the Sky", and I always wanted to back them up to NAS. At first, I used HandBrake, but it was a bit troublesome to recognize some old DVD encryptions, and it had to be equipped with libdvdcss, so the installation was a bit complicated.

Later, a friend recommended MakeMKV to me, so I tried it. The operation is very simple:

1. Insert the DVD;
2. Open MakeMKV, it will automatically recognize the structure of the DVD;
3. Select the main video you want (usually the longest one), check the audio track and subtitles you want;
4. Save it as .mkv with one click, without compression, and the speed is quite fast (about 20 minutes per video).
5. The best thing is that it does not reduce the image quality, and the subtitles and audio tracks are all retained, unlike some tools that will blur after converting to mp4.
6. The saved mkv file can be played with VLLC, or given to HandBrake to compress into a smaller mp4. If you are a collection control, this is really a magic tool.
7. The only small regret is that the extracted file size is a bit large (a DVD may be 4GB+), but in exchange for the original image quality, it is worth it.

So now I rely on it as a base for ripping DVDs on Mac, and it is very stable with HandBrake for secondary processing.

Summary: MakeMKV is my most trusted DVD ripper for Mac, it is easy to operate, the output quality is good, and it is highly recommended for personal archiving! 💿
