Even ancient OS’s like Windows XP have been updated to support this format. Since MP4/H.264/AAC is the industry-wide standard for all modern-age video, pretty much any smartphone, tablet, laptop, operating system, and streaming device created since 2004 can play this format out-of-the-box. Connect360 ($20) can be installed as a System Preference and automatically serve your iTunes content to your Xbox 360. To stream to your Xbox 360, you’ll need to be running a similar server which the Xbox understands.

It may also be helpful to check out the Handbrake Quick-Start Guide if you’re new to the tool.Īs of iOS 5, iPad supports 1080p video. If you’re using my presets, choose DVD (480p) if your source is a DVD backup, or Blu-ray (1080p) if your source is a Blu-ray backup. Handbrake will parse the files and make sure it has a complete backup to work with. Find your backup directory, and choose Open. To get started, click the Source button in the upper-left corner of the main Handbrake window. The biggest difference between these is that the video bitrate for DVDs is 3,000 kbps while for Blu-rays it’s 10,000 kbps. See the following screenshots for information on my presets.ĭVD: Video, Audio, Subtitles, Advanced, and Chapters.īlu-ray: Video, Audio, Subtitles, Advanced, and Chapters.
I’ve tweaked my settings a bit as I prefer higher-quality files at the cost of a larger file size. If you don’t know what you’re doing, feel free to use those. Handbrake comes with a good set of default settings. Handbrake will take our personal backups as input, and produce an.

For this exercise, just know that we want to end up with an H.264 video stream and an AAC audio stream, wrapped up inside an MP4 container.įor this, we’ll use Handbrake. If you want to make yourself a little more educated about this stuff, check out the “ Video on the Web” chapter of Dive Into HTML5 by Mark Pilgrim. The audio and video are synced-up (a.k.a., “multiplexed” or “muxed”) and are bundled together into a single file using a container format. The short explanation is that every video file is made up of 3 different parts: the video stream, the audio stream, and the container. You may have heard words like MKV, MPEG–4, AVI, MP3, AAC and other acronyms. Video files are a lot more complicated than most people realize. If you’re on Windows, check-out AnyDVD and AnyDVD HD. You can expect a rip to take 15–30 minutes, depending on the size of the disc. Backing up is as simple as inserting the DVD, launching RipIt, and choosing “Rip”. A license is a paltry $25, and I recommend supporting the developers of this software.
For backing up personal DVDs so that they can be format-shifted, RipIt is highly recommended. Pretty much every Mac since the early 2000s has shipped with a DVD drive, so these are easy to come by.

The Mac used for this tutorial is an 17" MacBook Pro (early–2011) with a 64-bit quad-core 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, OS X Mountain Lion, and a standard, built-in Superdrive. The encryption is where the line is drawn. This is why backing-up CDs is commonplace while backing-up DVDs and Blu-rays is frowned upon. Historically, this sort of thing fell under fair use law, but the DMCA (1998) makes it illegal to crack the encryption. Making a personal backup of movies you own is in a legal gray-area in the U.S.
Because of this, I choose to exercise my fair-use right to format-shift my movies into something more convenient.
