However, you may want to check the Audio and Subtitles tabs of Handbrake after you’ve selected a title and preset. The advantage of these presets is that you don’t need to fiddle much with Handbrake’s many settings.

If you’re ripping a lot of discs, I recommend trying the different formats out to see if there’s a visible difference. HQ is much faster than Super HQ, for example. There’s not that much of a difference in size between the Fast and Very Fast presets (they’re both much smaller than the HQ presets), or between HQ and Super HQ, but there is a time difference. If your DVD has surround sound, and you have a surround sound playback system, you definitely want one of the presets that offers this audio. (If you’re ripping a DVD in PAL format, it has 576 lines.) Don’t bother using the HD presets (1080p and 720p), they won’t make your DVDs look any better. If you’re ripping a DVD in NTSC format (sold in the US), then it has 480 lines, so choose one of those presets. You can see the presets drawer at the right of the window. I selected the main title (the movie) from the Title menu and clicked Add to Queue. Check the General section as you can see, there are four groups of presets: Very Fast, Fast, HQ, and Super HQ. This is where you choose the quality of your final file. If you don’t see the drawer at the right of the Handbrake window, click Toggle Presets in the toolbar. If you want to rip any other items, select them, one at a time, and click Add to Queue for each one.

The longest one is generally the movie itself select it in the Title menu, then click Add to Queue. Handbrake’s Title menu shows you the durations of each title, but not their names, so you’ll need to check the DVD to find out which is which. If your DVD contains multiple titles, such as a movie and some bonus features, you’ll need to select each one that you want to rip. Launch Handbrake, select the DVD, then wait a few seconds while the app reads the disc.
