[G2east]

My Videos have Green & white boxes in the encoded video This is also seen in the preview screen in "Picture settings" Any instructions? I pasted the activity log in the Handbrake pastebin.

Can you play the DVD with DVD Player.app? If not, your DVD player is probably set to the wrong region and you should get a warning on this. If you can play it there is probably a problem with VLC's css decoding. (Try playing the DVD in VLC, do you get the same blocks?)

I would advise to delete the ~/.dvdcss folder. You can do this easily in the terminal:

Code: Select all

rm -R ~/.dvdcss

Works fine in VLC & DVD app.

Green and white boxes are *always* a sign of encrypted content. Make sure you have VLC installed in /Applications (not ~/Applications!) and make sure the "bitness" matches the version of HandBrake you are using (32-bit or 64-bit).

Thank you. I will try both suggestions. I don't know how to check or change the "bitness" in VLC though. Please help.

All Rodney was referring to was that if you've downloaded the 64bit edition of Handbrake, you need a 64bit edition of VLC as well for decryption to work. You can check both apps from their "About..." menu items.
