usr/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386 usr/lib/libdvdcss.2.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures If you see the following, it is installed correctly: If you want to double check to see if it is installed properly, open Terminal.app, and paste in this line: If you run this installer from the VLC website, it will install a copy of the DVD decryption engine in a place where Handbrake can see it and use it. The good news is that there is a solution to this problem, and it’s really not that hard. Unfortunately, that means that ripping DVDs in Handbrake is no longer as easy as dragging VLC.app and Handbrake.app into your /Applications folder. Starting with VLC 2.0, libdvdcss is no longer available as an individual dylib in the VLC application package, which means HandBrake can no longer use VLC’s libdvdcss for DVD decryption. Sadly, one of the changes with this release makes it impossible for third party applications to take advantage of VLC’s DVD decryption capability. With it comes a new UI and experimental Blu-Ray support.

Note that you don’t have to do this every time you rip a DVD-once libdvdcss is installed, you can skip to Step One each time you rip a new disc.As we reported, VLC 2.0 shipped last week. The process is a little different for Windows and Mac users, so we’ll go through each one individually. This will let Handbrake read your encrypted DVDs and rip them to your computer. We’ll be using a free DVD playback library called libdvdcss.

You can, however, download it separately-as long as you’re just using this to watch a movie on your computer and not starting a bootlegging business, we promise we won’t tell on you. Getting around this is a weirdly gray area legally, so applications like Handbrake can’t legally include the software needed to decrypt copy protected DVDs.

Out of the box, Handbrake can rip any DVD that isn’t copy protected…but almost all DVDs you buy in the store are copy protected. The main tool we’ll be using to rip DVDs is called Handbrake, which you can download here. Step Zero: Install Handbrake and libdvdcss So You Can Decrypt DVDs
