I am trying to unsuccessfully rip dvds to my mac to put on my apple tv or iPad etc, but when I look at the dvd they are all corrupt with lines through them. I can't also load the VLC which everytime I load a dvd handbrake says cannot find. Do yo need the VLC working ? Can anybody help as you can se I am a pretty basic user so please put it in plain english so that I can understand your response.
Got a tip for us?

Make sure handbrake and VLC are the same architecture, so either 32bit or 64bit
Simply put the disc in, open handbrake, select source, choose the DVD and select Apple tv 2 from the preset on the right and click start.
If it still doesn't work then i can only assume there is a problem with your DVD disc or drive.
Make sure you have the latest copy of each software.

Look at the first link in the post above yours to maybe use an actual ripper, and then HandBrake for transcoding.

As mentioned above, make sure that you have matching versions of HandBrake and VLC. Presuming your Mac is new, you'll want the 64-bit versions of both. Then, you can rip and encode DVDs in HandBrake in a single step (HandBrake automatically finds and uses VLC), selecting the iPad preset in HandBrake.
Some people prefer to rip and encode separately; either for batch processing or to ease the mechanical wear and tear on their optical drive. MakeMKV is a free download and will rip a DVD (or Blu Ray, if you have a Blu Ray burner drive) to a .mkv file for subsequent processing in HandBrake.
VLC takes care, as FairMount needs VLC to decode the decryption too.
Maybe have a look at the first link in the second post? It explains some details which might be good to know, but I guess I like being the spoon.
I convert all of mine for apple tv/ all I devices.
Use makemkv to rip it into mkv. Then use handbrake. On my i5 mini the total process is less then a hour and the quality is much better then most actual dvd rippers. I usually used to use winmx for rip DVDs but found mkv then handbrake results in superior quality.
