Ripping the latest Transformers movie

In the handbrake window under source should be a drop down menu labeled title. You have to manually select title 47. If your not sure if that is the one you are using, click on show queue and it will tell you what Title you are currently ripping. If you are not ripping the right title. Stop it and restart using title 47.
This is a new form of copy protection on dvds that puts fake titles in the menu. The best way to find out which title to use is to play the dvd in OSX DVD player. While the main feature is playing activate the "Go" menu, select Title then take note which title in the drop down list has the tick mark next to it.
Hope that helps. Not all DVDs use this method, but you can tell by checking the title selection in handbrake and there are a lot of titles with runtimes about the length of the feature.

This thread discusses this issue with the copyright protection.
It won't rip on a MacBook or a Mac Pro, it's not your computer it's the movie. Mac The Ripper may work but AnyDVD for Windows would probably be able to crack through it. Any movie that takes 4 hours to transfer clearly has the copyright protection issue. I should be able to transfer the entire 8 GB of a movie in 20-35 minutes on my MP. When it says 4 hours I know there's an issue.

I had the same problem initially with this movie. I usually use Rip It to rip the DVD (usually takes about 45 minutes on my Mac Mini (mid 2009), give or take) and then encode using Handbrake. Well, Rip It wouldn't even get started--tried on both my Mini and my Macbook (early 2008). Instead, I encoded directly off the DVD using Handbrake/VLC--took longer than a typical encode but only by an hour or so and end result was great.
I've copied it over about 5 times at 3 hours each time and every single time it finishes the chapters are out of order. I can't get it to work and I really want this movie because only the UK version offers the digital download. Its so frustrating.
I'm trying 47 right now. I searched yahoo answers and it took some people 2-3 times of burning it on 47 to get it right, so I'll just try that a couple more times. If it doesn't I'll probably give up, considering its taking so much time to rip it.
OP I'll post back and let you know if ends up working after doing it a couple of times.

I tried 47 two more times and both times worked. Maybe when you tried it it just froze or something... I'd try again.
UK Transformers 2
Title 31 for me also when i put it through Meta X it rendered it unplayable anyway it works fine good job i saved a copy
Also remember that in the UK at least there are two versions a 2 disc version is also available so the titles may differ
Play the DVD in VLC or DVD player (mac) start the main film running then click on "GO" ON THE MENU BAR THE TITLE THAT THE FILM STARTS ON WILL BE TICKED! select this in your ripping program should work fine!
