READ ME / POST HERE if a specific DVD/Movie won't rip
I'd like to use this thread as a repository for a list of movies that HandBrake has known issues with:
PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS: What version of HB, settings, work arounds tried.
Also understand that this list is somewhat historical; it would be very helpful if anyone could cross off any titles from this list by trying them with HandBrake's latest code. Similarly, confirmation of issues with any titles mentioned in this thread since January 9, 2008, would be useful to update this list.

you can rip Saw 3 and probably any other titles up there that "require" the next release of MTR.
Here's how
1) get fairmount, it's free and part of the dvdremaster package.
2) insert DVD
3) open fairmount
4) run fairmounted disk through DTOX, removing zero cells.
5) run the output through MF/HB.
done.
you don't even need MTR, I know this works for Saw 3 as it's how I ripped my copy of it.

I will butcher this answer but still hopefully give you the gist of it. Some commercial DVDs are made with empty cells --- cells with nothing in them.
DVD players are smart enough (dumb enough, probably more like it) to ignore or otherwise pass over them, but rippers are not, because rippers aren't playing the video stream but instead attempting to extract each piece of the puzzle.
An empty cell (or zero cell) either confuses the ripper or else slows it way down, and creates a problem later when trying to play it back.
It's a copy-protection tool, in case that isn't obvious.
Some rippers can see empty cells but must be told to ignore them. The most common one for this is DVD2OneX (for Macs, I guess Windows users have their own).
I've also seen (I think) the ability to uncheck empty cells in MacTheRipper but never hear of anyone using it for that. I guess I'm mistaken about MTR's ability there.
Where it gets "interesting" is when an almost-empty cell might still be "empty enough." Most empty cells are in fact 0kb in size; I've read that some are 2-3kb. That said, many DVDs have a few very small cells of about 2-4kb that are not culprits and should still be included in a rip. YMMV, etc.
Somebody please correct me on any of this, a topic I barely know anything about!

Can anyone else confirm this one?myronaiii wrote:I wasn't able to get Star Trek Enterprise to work with HandBrake on the PC
I think I'm having the same problem with the LOST Season 1 Disc 1 DVD. I've tried following Mercury's description on what to do. Unfortunately whenever I use the load Image/Folder option, I get the error "No valid title found." I've tried with disks, folders, after using DVD2onex2, MacTheRipper, FairMount....the whole gamut.
