Handbrake working?

Handbrake works fine for me and also decrypts copy protected DVDs 
The basic issue is libdvcss.pkg won't install on macOS due to System Integrity Protection, but all you have to do is put the libdvdcss.2.dylib file into /usr/local/lib and it works like a charm
You can download that file from here: https://download.videolan.org/libdvdcss/1.2.11/macosx/

Do this and Handbrake will work fine on Sierra, worked for mine. DVDs aren't scrambled or protected anymore!

This is a little easier. Install Homebrew in the terminal, you do so with this command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Installing homebrew takes a moment to install.
Once installed, type this command: brew install libdvdcss
That will install the library needed. Handbrake finds it on its own.
And why Homebrew, well later, you might find yourself using it for more things.

Talk about a sledgehammer to crack a nut. If a poster is having difficulty finding a folder recommending Homebrew will just end up confusing the situation even more.
@EAB Just use MakeMKV, life will be a lot simpler.
Thank you @Lunder89 and @steve23094. Appreciate the help. Finally found the missing folder. MakeMKV works well, but Handbrake gives me lots of options in one step.

This is a good solution, and you don't have to edit system libraries. Afterwards you'll be able to use Handbrake on DVDs and BluRay discs.

Ya, that seems where just about everything goes now when Apple puts blocks in place to protect the user.
