“So I downloaded the copy and pasted the libdvdcss-2(2).dll into the HandBrake folder but the DVDs are coming through all pixelated still. It was working for me previously but I recently reset my PC and then re-installed the HandBrake. Has HandBrake removed this workaround feature?”
HandBrake is a well-known open source video transcoder that can convert various videos and DVD files. Of course, HandBrake cannot handle protected DVDs unless used with libdvdcss (an external library for accessing CSS-encrypted DVD files). We previously wrote a guide to using libdvdcss with HandBrake. However, some users reported that this method suddenly stopped working. We summarize the possible reasons as follows:
If a system update or a wrong libdvdcss version is causing your HandBrake to not work, then a solution is available. See details below.
You can resolve the issue of libdvdcss not working in HandBrake by uninstalling HandBrake and removing libdvdcss, then re-downloading a compatible version of HandBrake and libdvdcss. Please follow the steps below to try to fix the issue.
Step 1. Go to the HandBrake official site and download the version compatible with your system.
Step 2. Click to download libdvdcss according to your system.
Download libdvdcss.dll 1.4.3 for Windows 32-bit | Download libdvdcss.dll 1.4.3 for Windows 64-bit
Step 3. Copy the downloaded libdvdcss.dll and paste it into the HandBrake installation folder.
Step 4. Now, restart HandBrake and see if the problem goes away.
It's worth noting that there may be other factors that interrupt the working of libdvdcss. Therefore, it will be difficult to solve this problem all at once. If this method doesn't work or your DVD contains other encryption technologies, you have better options than HandBrake. In the next part, we will show you an alternative program to bypass DVD encryption and rip various DVDs. Please read on.
