Does Handbrake need or benefit from installing VLC first

Post by onttikas »

Description of problem or question:

Some sites, for example lifewire, tell that "HandBrake needs the VLC application, so be sure to install it first. To install VLC and HandBrake, drag the icon for each application (one at a time) to your Applications folder."

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-copy-dv ... ke-2260168

So does Handbrake need or benefit from installing VLC first?

I installed and used Handbrake before I installed VLC and I don't have libdvdcss2 installed. If someday need to copy dvds do I have reinstall Handbrake?



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

-


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.1.2


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

macOS 10.13 High Sierra

Re: Does Handbrake need or benefit from installing VLC first

Post by s55 »

HandBrake does not require, and does not link to VLC.
Libdvdcss, while sometimes can work, is not supported or recommended.

HandBrake is not designed for ripping DVDs. You need to use other tools first, before transcoding to a smaller size with HandBrake.

On a second note, use our documentation rather than that article. It's not accurate.

Most things found on other sides about HandBrake are wrong.
