I am using the latest version of both MakeMKV and Handbrake on El Capitan. I want to take a bunch of DVDs and rip them and put them on my iPhone/iPad and possibly AppleTV. When do I need to use MakeMKV before going into Handbrake VS. just using Handbrake for the whole process?
Thanks.
When can I use only Handbrake for DVD conversion VS. MakeMKV + Handbrake?

If you know that the DVD is not copy protected in any way (e.g. a home-recorded DVD), MakeMKV is not necessary.
I'm still using it for all discs, as I usually do a few at a time and can use both programs in parallel to save time (rip the next disc while the first one transcodes).

The best practice is to use MakeMKV or similar for all DVD/Blu-ray sources.
The home-recorded DVDs are often so poorly authored that HB can't make sense of all of the content, and you're better off with software intended for ripping like MakeMKV.kpflugshaupt wrote:If you know that the DVD is not copy protected in any way (e.g. a home-recorded DVD), MakeMKV is not necessary.

Is there some way to determine if a disc has copy protection without going through the whole conversion process?
Thanks.

Is it a commercial disk? It has copy protection.
Is it home recorded? It's probably poorly authored.
The best practice is to always use software intended for ripping disks when you're ripping disks.
