Handbrake is famous known as a DVD Ripper for Mac OS X for a long time! Not long ago, handbrake release edition 0.9.3 which can support convert video on Mac, and i have tested a lot to find the formats that handbrake supports. And the steps almost the same with how to rip DVD using handbrake!
More i want to inform here is the settings.
Click on the Picture Settings button to launch a separate window. The only thing you really want to do here is to compensate for interlaced or grainy, compressed looking video. Handbrake will have adjusted everything here for you based on the preset you selected. Sometimes video files will have horizontal lines in them. This is called interlacing. To get rid of interlacing, try turning on the Deinterlace option and select "Fast." The image below is animated and will toggle between when the deinterlace option is turned on or off. You can really see the difference around the edge of the flipper.
Remember: the larger the screen size, the larger the file size will be, and hence the more time it will take for Handbrake to convert your files.
