Native Blu-ray ripping for OS X is finally here!

Are you sure? as I am just tried the preset and it isn't unless this is a different preset.

Yep, As soon as I select the AppleTV preset the option is checked. I am using the latest svn of handbrake if that makes any difference?

" i do not notice any pixelations on my appletv compatible rips so far."

I'm happy to hear of that. Did you do 1920?

"i suggest you check your system specs and upgrade from there. from what i can see, the problems you're having are system related."

I definitely will. I'll re-examine my settings and redo the Handbrake. Maybe the system problems lie in some minor config. Thanks for responding.

i only do 720p (appletv does not support 1920 at the present time)

your welcome...glad i can help. :)
 
Update

I picked up the buffalo BD burner. It is supposed to be 8x

I am ripping a disc and it looks like it will take about an hour or so.

Curious that the read speed is 2X?

Is that the max for this program? I thought my drive was 8x.

Anyway although the Watchmen took 24 hours with my previous drive the file actually plays back just fine in Plex!.

VLC craps on it and says it is missing codecs or something.

Let me know what you think. Watchmen says it is BD-Live. Isn't that BD+? It worked nonetheless.
 
Keeps Failing Help

Hi All,

I have tried to follow all advice given in previous posts but to no avail,

I have the following Pioneer BDC-202 with USB JMicron 20336 as per Bucksaddle.

I am using a iMac 2.16Ghz Intel Core.

I have tried main title selected and all titles. It gets to about 2gb and fails, below is what was in the dialog box:

Prior

Using direct disc access mode
File 00000.mpls was added as title #0
File 00021.mpls was added as title #1
File 00063.mpls was added as title #2
Title 00045.mpls is equal to title 00021.mpls and was skipped
File 00056.mpls was added as title #3
File 00025.m2ts was added as title #4
Title #00027.m2ts has length of 115 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped

File 00079.m2ts was added as title #12
Title #00080.m2ts has length of 7 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #00081.m2ts has length of 96 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #00082.m2ts has length of 7 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped

Well, almost every BD that I've ripped (0 failures so far), title 0 has been the main feature. I haven't done a single 'full disc' rip, but rather just the main feature and audio track, I'm not going to use the rest for Handbrake encodes, so why waste the time/space?

Are you trying to do a full disc rip or just the main feature?

Hi Kevinbal,

From what i think i have tried is both, i select the main title which is the largest and de-select the rest and still get the same error:confused:

Hrm, interesting. Well, for starters, if you can boot into windows (or access a windows machine with that drive), try giving the firmware update a go. It looks like the most recent firmware for that drive is 1.07, you are using 1.04.

Aside from that, I've always just saved everything to the desktop and the moved/edited it from there. I'll post a screenshot of my program right before I click the magic button for you in a bit.

I will update the drive later, at work now.

Thanks Vic
 
Ok, i have updated the firmware but...

It failed again this time i got further than before time remaining is 1h25 it got to 40min then stopped.

Any one have any ideas what it could be?
 
Just ordered that drive, will report when I get it.

<-- excited to finally get to see blu-ray on my ATV!

I got the same drive, MakeMKV detects it right away and I was able to rip no problem.

Awesome, Thanks. Mine is suppose to come via Fedex today but I won't be home so not sure when I will be able to get it.

Two notes on the HB snapshot if I may:

1. *if* you are not worried about reading a protected source right from disk (read: just using preripped sources) try the 64 bit version as its about 10 - 15% faster than 32 bit. The 64 bit version cannot read an encrypted disk as the vlc dylib hb uses for that is 32 bit only.

2. if your audio is dts only as cave says, you have to use aac dpl2 ( no dts pass thru in mp4 and the atv couldn't read it even if hb did it) but the snapshot lets you use the core audio encoder for aac which gives you up to 320 kbps bitrate audio vs. faac's 160 kbps bitrate limit. Which may or may not give you *some* sound improvement and help ease the pain a bit.

An added note for the 64 bit Handbrake snapshot. If you download the 64 bit version of VLC 1.0 RC4, the 64 bit Handbrake snapshot will read encrypted DVDs. It will still give you the same message that the 64 bit version of Handbrake can't read encrypted DVDs, but it always has read the DVDs I've tried when I use the 64 bit version of VLC 1.0 RC4. The only downside is that VLC 1.0 RC4 is buggy. It crashes every time on exit (a known and documented issue), and if you mess around with VLC and exit it when a Handbrake encode is running, the resultant file will often times either be corrupt or have some sort of audio or video issues. I will also occasionally get a file that has a loud audio "pop" at the beginning of the movie, but the rest of the movie will play just fine.

All bugginess aside, this configuration has resulted in most of the files I've ripped being absolutely flawless. So while it doesn't result in a perfect rip every time, it does rip the movies that much faster. Who knows, the errors I get from time to time could be the result of operator error too...

Yes, there was a rc 64 bit vlc. I was all set to pull the 64 bit warning from hb, but then they did not extend the 64 bit vlc to rev 1.0. So I left it. You are correct that using the rc version of vlc will allow hb 64 bit to read encrypted dvd's if you override the warning as you indicated.

Yes, from what I read on the videolan forums, they didn't release a 64 bit vlc 1.0 because they had no idea why VLC 64 bit crashed every time on exit. I don't think it will be too long before they figure it out and get an official 64 bit release of VLC out.

I completely understand not removing the warning on your part from Handbrake. I was just simply pointing out that there currently is a way to get the 64 bit version of Handbrake to work with encrypted DVDs, even if the solution is still a little buggy at this time...

Received my LG GGC-H20L drive today but, the external enclosure is still nowhere to be seen :/ Will try a SATA to USB 2.0 cable to at least hook it up and see if it registers correctly under OSX etc...

Anyone have any experience using a SATA>USB cable to do this; meaning hooking the cable up to an internal CD/DVD drive without the enclosure itself?
 
Thanks - you were right, it just needed direct power but it worked fine this way :)
 
The LG GGC-H20L is working fine under OSX so far... Pulled Pans Labyrinth in about 45min and it played beautifully in Plex on first try - still need to mess with the audio tracks though. Awesomeness :)
