What to expect

  • Commercial DVDs are usually CSS-encrypted; HandBrake and ffmpeg cannot bypass copy protection - home-recorded and unprotected discs convert without issue.
  • Long films are split across multiple VOB files; open the entire VIDEO_TS folder in HandBrake so it joins them automatically.
  • DVD subtitles are bitmap images, not text - they are typically burned into the video or dropped when saving as MP4.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the whole `VIDEO_TS` folder?
Not strictly - HandBrake can open a single VOB, but without the IFO files it cannot detect chapters, titles, or audio language tracks reliably.
Will the `MP4` keep chapter markers?
Yes, if you open the VIDEO_TS folder in HandBrake; it reads chapter data from the IFO files and writes them into the output MP4.
How long does conversion take?
HandBrake converts a 90-minute DVD in roughly 15-30 minutes on a modern CPU; a GPU preset (NVENC or VideoToolbox) can cut that to 5-10 minutes.
Is there quality loss when converting?
Re-encoding is lossy, but at CRF 20-22 (HandBrake default) the result looks identical to the source DVD at typical viewing distances.
