Installing Handbrake On A New Mac
Posted by Dan Israel on Jul 5, 2013 in Information & Technology, Video
After years of experience using Handbrake, I found myself struggling to get version 0.9.9 working on a new Mountain Lion installation. I tried the usual:
- Installed VLC
- Installed libdvdcss.pkg
- Installed Handbrake
When I would attempt to rip, I would receive a “No Valid Source Found” error or the rip would simply end abruptly.I believe the solution turned out to be a preference needed for setting the viewing region of the DVD. Since the Mac Pro was brand new, I had never watched a DVD on it.
Here is the solution I believe worked:Simply play a brief portion of the main title of a DVD using Apple’s included DVD player.All is well now.
