Are you looking for a DVD Ripper that looks like a pineapple? In fact, this software is called HandBrake. In this article, I will show you how to use Pineapple DVD Ripper and its alternative to rip all your DVDs. Let’s go for the details.
Q: Hello, I am looking for a useful DVD ripper to back up my DVD collections. I searched for a Pineapple DVD Ripper before, but I don't know much about DVD copy or how to use this DVD ripping tool. Any help would be very appreciated.
A: In fact, Pineapple DVD Ripper refers to HandBrake, which is an open source DVD ripper but only can rip any DVD that isn’t copy protected. So, if you want to use handbrake to rip DVDs, firstly, you need to make sure your DVD is not encrypted. If not, you have to download HandBrake libdvdcss or find a replacement for the Pineapple DVD Ripper below to copy protected DVD.

Load DVD Source File into HandBrakeStep 1: If your DVD is a homemade DVD without any encryption technology, then you can import the DVD directly into the program. But for encrypted DVDs, firstly, you should install HandBrake libdvdcss before importing the DVD to program. Once this is finished, Handbrake should be able to read all of your encrypted DVDs.
Open Handbrake and choose your DVD drive from the sidebar that appears.
Choose DVD Title for RippingStep 2: HandBrake rip DVD will take a moment to scan the DVD titles. Wait until this process is finished. Once the DVD is open, go to the "Title" box and select the title you want to rip. By default, Handbrake will select the entire movie, but if you want to rip any special scene, you can change the target here.
Set Format and Quality for the Output FileStep 3: Next, you’ll need to decide the format and quality of your output file. Select MP4 under Format tab to convert DVD to MP4, and along the right side of the Handbrake window, you’ll see a selection of Presets.
Using HandBrake to Rip DVDStep 4: Click the “Browse” button on the lower right corner to specify an output path and rename the output file. Finally, click the green “Start Encode” button to start to rip DVD movie.
The above is the entire process of using HandBrake to rip DVD.
It is worth noting that there are only three compatible output formats for the HandBrake: MPEG-4 Part 14 (MP4), iTunes Video (M4V) and Matroska (MKV). This means that it is not feasible if you want to copy protected DVD movie to other video formats like AVI, MOV, MPG, 3GP, etc. Hence, we need a Pineapple DVD Ripper Alternative to help us. WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro should be the best choice.
