How to Free Rip a DVD movie with MakeMKV and Handbrake?

 

Hollywood wants you to buy its movies on DVD and Blu-ray, but it also wants to control what you do with them once you get home. That doesn't sit well with us, so we're going to show you how to do something that Hollywood most definitely does not want you to do: Rip movies and copy them to your computer's hard drive so you can enjoy them without ever having to get up off your couch to drop a disc in the DVD player.

Once you've got a movie onto your hard drive, you can do all kinds of other cool stuff with it: Transcode it into a different format so that it'll play on your smartphone or gaming console, or maybe just delete those annoying FBI warnings that tell you how much trouble you can get in for doing exactly what we're about to show you.

While we fully acknowledge that the movie industry has the right to protect it's intellectual property, we also believe that consumers have the right to enjoy the property they purchase. It's called fair use - if you buy a movie on a disc, then you should have the right to make a back-up copy, or transfer the content to another medium, like a hard drive. Of course, you don't have the right to distribute or sell copies of the movies you buy, but you probably knew that already.

How to Free Rip a DVD disc with MakeMKV and Handbrake?

• Jump to: How to Free Rip a Blu-Ray Disc

What you'll need:

1. DVD-ROM drive. Most modern PCs will come equipped with optical drives that can read DVDs, but many of the newest ones (ie, ultrabooks) have ditched them to save space. If you don't have a DVD-ROM drive, you can pick up an external one that connects to your PC via USB up for around $30 on Newegg.

2. MakeMKV. You'll need this program to break the disc's copyright protection and perform the initial rip. It's free, open source.

3. HandBrake. After the initial rip, you might want to make the file smaller or change its format so you can watch it on your phone or media center. Handbrake is a free video encoder that lets you tweak just about everything after you've got the movie on your hard drive.

Step 1: Defeat copyright protection with MakeMKV

There are a lot of other software programs out there that make this a very involved process, but MakeMKV makes it extremely simple. Just open the program and pop your DVD into the disc drive. Once the program recognizes the disc, click on the big "Open Disc" button and MakeMKV goes to work.

Step 2: Rip the movie with MakeMKV

After you've vanquished the AACS encryption, MakeMKV will return a list of chapters and segments that you can rip. Find your movie (usually the longest title or biggest file) and uncheck all the other boxes. Next, designate an Output Folder where you'd like the file to end up once it's been ripped. When you're all ready to go, hit the "MakeMKV" button. This process can take anywhere from two minutes to half an hour depending on your computer's processing power, but when it's done you should have a nice big MKV file waiting for you in the folder you specified.

Step 3: Transcode with HandBrake

Once you're done using MakeMKV to subvert the DVD's copyright protection and save the movie to your computer, you'll probably want to transcode the file to make it smaller and ensure that it's in the format you want. This is where HandBrake comes in. It's got TONS of settings and tools you can use to tweak your video, and comes with an extensive collection of presets (displayed in the right-hand column) that make the ripping process relatively foolproof. The developers have already created presets for most Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and Apple TV; the PS3 and Xbox 360 gaming consoles; and several other platforms. You can also modify any of these presets and save them with new names or create custom presets from scratch.

Play around with the settings until you've got everything just right, then go ahead and click Start. This part will take a while, so sit back, relax, and let HandBrake do its thing.

Android 4.3: Top 10 Facts You Need to Know

Android 4.3 can be coming as soon as a few weeks from now. Here's what you need to know about the rumored Android operating system update.

Based on recent rumors, Google's mobile development team may be pushing out Android 4.3 - an updated version of Jelly Bean - before they release Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, the rumored Android OS update that hasn't been confirmed by Google or any Android development team. Here's what you need to know about some up and coming Android updates.

1. Android 4.3 Is A Brand New Update

 

According to most news reports, Android 4.3 is a brand new operating system update that most never expected would exist. The first reports about Android 4.3 came when leaks indicated that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie would be delayed (more on that later). But, Android 4.3, at the time, was a brand new term for most people in the tech world. It seems like Google knows that they have to release some sort of update at Google I/O, since most fans and critics are expected something.

2. Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie Is Delayed



It's safe to say at this point that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie has been delayed by Google for the time being. While many guessed that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie would be debuting at Google I/O 2013, it seems like that won't be the case. AKAScope says that Android 4.3 shows that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is delayed, or else Google would have released it, and we're tempted to agree.

3. Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie May Be Attached To Another Device



However, other think that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is getting delayed on purpose and the reason for the delay is because Google wants to pair the Android OS update with a flagship device, like the Motorola X. This makes sense; other companies like Apple have similar tactics: Last summer, Apple unveiled iOS 6 but waited a few months until September 2012 to release the operating system update alongside the iPhone 5.

4. Android 4.3 May Have Bluetooth Low Energy Technology



Android 4.3 may have something called "Bluetooth Low Energy Technology." Mobilenapps.com writes about exactly what Bluetooth Low Energy Technology really means:

"The trio will consist of HTC's developer evangelists Dario Laverde and Lance Nanek and software engineer David Wu.

"Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on Android has arrived. Dario Laverde will provide an overview of the BLE specification and take us through HTC's APIs and hands-on demos with various devices, heart rate monitors, key finders, and multi-sensor kits (temperature, pressure, humidity, accelerometer). You'll walk away ready with the code to kick start your BLE ideas.

Next, Lance Nanek will tell us about Open GL ES 3.0, the new pipeline, updated shading language, enhanced texturing.... but more importantly, blow us away with some amazing demos!" the report stated."

5. Other Features For Android 4.3 May Have Leaked As Well



In addition, some other rumored features about Android 4.3 have been surfacing as well. Rumored unified messaging service Google Babble may be appearing in Android 4.3, which would make it a relatively big update. Similar to Apple, which has a unified messaging system that works with iPads, iPhones, Mac computers, and iPods, Google will be offering a similar service to Android users. However, according to a forum post on The Verge, an anonymous tipster says that Google Babble will actually be called Google Hangouts instead, similar to the video-messaging service available on Google+.

6. Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie Should Have Some Big Features



Even though Android 5.0 is a little far away, we're expecting some big changes. With new head of Android Sundar Pichai — who used to be the head of Chrome OS development — taking over for Andy Rubin, we may be able to expect some closer integration between Chrome OS and Android devices. It makes sense, considering the close integration between iOS and OS X for Apple devices, Google could do well by following Apple's footsteps.

7. We May See Android 4.3 At Google I/O



The earliest we can see Android 4.3 would be Google I/O 2013. Don't worry, that's only a few days — Google I/O starts on May 15th and ends on the 17th. According to Android Authority, a leaked HTC memo discussing potential Keynote speeches indicates that both Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE, would be discussed, as well as Open GL ES 3.0 — a graphics specification that alters the UI of the operating system. Seems like Android 4.3 will be a key focus at Google I/O.

8. Google May Be Packing In Features, But They Don't Make That Much Money Off Of Android

Surprisingly, Google doesn't actually make that much money off of its Android. According to Business Insider, Google only generates $543 million from Android devices. Because the Android operating system is open-source, companies like Samsung and Amazon can drastically customize the OS and alter it.

9. Fragmentation Has Been Hurting Android Update Rates

Google has been having a lot of issues with the adoption rates for its operating system updates. Many Android users aren't able to upgrade to new updates because of fragmentation. Webopedia defines Android fragmentation as follows:

"The threat or concern that a proliferation of diverging variants of the Android platform will result in the inability of some devices to properly run apps written with the Android SDK. With a large number of custom versions of the Android platform emerging, the concern is that interoperability will be weakened as a result of the potential for applications built specifically for one variant or device not being able to work with others."

10. Android 4.3 May Hurt Android 5.0



Going off of the fragmentation issues, Android 4.3 may hurt the adoption rate of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. With Android 4.3 becoming available for older Android devices over the next few weeks and months, by the time Android 5.0 is released, many users will probably just be getting Android 4.3. The delays between Android updates - which can sometimes be as long as months between updates - and fragmentation issues is something Google needs to fix in the Android ecosystem so that future updates could have higher adoption rates, which will undoubtably impress investors.

Google commits to more Nexus devices

 Sundar Pichai, the new head of Android at Google, shared his views on Google-branded hardware and competitors like Amazon's Kindle Fire, just before the company's big Google I/O developer conference which starts Wednesday.

Pichai, now Senior VP of Android, Chrome and Google Apps, took over from Android's original leader, Andy Rubin, in March.



Asked about Google's own hardware efforts, Pichai said to expect more branded devices, like the Nexus smartphones and tablets.

"You will see a continuation of what we have tried to do with Nexus and Chromebooks," Pichai said in an interview with Wired. "Any hardware projects we do will be to push the ecosystem forward."

While there has been a virtual explosion of Android devices, the ecosystem is fragmented with most smartphone owners using earlier versions of Android and companies like Facebook submerging the operating system under its own new "Home" interface.

Amazon used an early version of Android to develop its own variant of the operating system for the Kindle Fire line. Kindle Fire users go to Amazon's own store for apps (instead of Google Play).

Pichai said there are no plans to challenge either.

"Under the rules of the license, Amazon can do that," he said.

Keeping Android open

"In general, we at Google would love everyone to work on one version of Android, because I think it benefits everyone better. But this is not the kind of stuff we're trying to prevent. Our focus is not on Facebook Home or Kindle Fire."

As for Android fragmentation in general, Pichai said Google was working on ways to "handle updates better" but said more time is needed to "figure out the mechanics" of doing this in concert with all its partners.

Apple is able to more effectively keep its users on the latest version of iOS because it only has to address its own product line.

Asked later about challenges ahead Pichai said one of the big ones is to help improve the world's end-user experience without changing the open nature of Android.

"For all your users, no matter where they are, or what phone or tablet they are buying."
