Check out a product (free) called 'Fairmount'
(<http://www.metakine.com/products/fairmount/>) which takes a DVD and
makes a virtual disk image out of it. Slower, but Handbrake can use this
disk image as a source without having to go via VLC. I've used it myself
for stuff I have on DVD that I want to watch via XBox360 streaming.

I tried it last night but it seems to have hung at 100%.
I'll see if it's done when I get home .


3.06GHz iMac doing about 47 FPS taking 27 mins to do a 45min program.

I downloaded the 32 bit version of Handbrake and the VCL worked fine. Its
odd because I used the 64 bit version last week for something else I had
downloaded from iGrabber and converted for iPhone with no problem but it
didn't like the DVD that I'd recorded off the CBBC TV chanel.

No Jim, if you'd read the readme, you'd know that Fairmount uses VLC to
do its job.

You don't get to use an encrypted DVD as if it weren't encrypted without
VLC - not even when using Fairmount.

Fairmount's just an interface, glue code, between VLC and the part of
the OS that mounts discs, AIUI. But it's trouble-free in operation,
provided that you remember to unmount the disc from Fairmount when you
want to eject...

DVD Remaster comes with Fairmount - worth a look.

Ah. Interesting, didn't know that. However, it does rather neatly get
around the '64 bit Handbrake won't play nicely with 32 bit VLC' issue.

Yep.
