The cosmos of the Apple TV has lead to an increase pastime in converting DVD to a kind compatible with Apple ’s new set - top box . And with that pursuit comes a bar of confusion . Macworld’sJonathan Seff provides a okay tutorial on ripping DVDs on the Macintosh . But question remain .
One was posted onMacworld’siPod and iTunes forum by penis Chogori , who wonders how to rip a videodisk that contains multiple episodes — a compilation of telecasting episodes , for example . I ’d suggest this :
Download a transcript ofHandBrake 0.85b1 . This is a stigma newfangled version of the program and offers a number of welcome betterment over premature reading include substance abuser presets ( admit a preset for Apple TV ) , living for surround phone , chapter markers , and , finally , a GUI interlingual rendition for Windows .
The feature article I ’ll focalize on is n’t new , but it ’s often overlooked . After downloading HandBrake , glance down at the bottom of the window and you ’ll see the Enable Queue choice . Click this and two button appear : Add to Queue and Show Queue .
From the Title pop - up menu take the first episode that you ’d like to rip ( if it ’s a television show it will be 20 – 60 minutes long ) . In the Destination domain you ’ll see a File field . Give your file a unique name — BlahEpisode1 , for example . Click the Presets button at the top of the window and , in the resulting Presets pane of glass , select the appropriate preset ( HB - AppleTV if you intend to rive that mental object for Apple TV , for object lesson ) . Finally , chatter Add to Queue .
Return to the Title start - up bill of fare and pick out the next installment . Again , provide a unique name for this next episode . ( I stress this because if you betray to give each episode a unique name , HandBrake will just replace the episode it just ripped because all the episodes have the same name . ) Click Add to Queue to add this sequence to the waiting line .
Repeat as necessary until you ’ve add all the episodes . flick Start and wait while HandBrake kick the bucket about its business organisation .
