The DVD you want to rip contains newer structural protections. Also, system updates may break the linkage between the library file and HandBrake.Ģ. You need to use the correct version of libdvdcss to work with the corresponding HandBrake. There are HandBrake versions for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. The libdvdcss.dll is incompatible with your current HandBrake and system. But if you already installed libdvdcss and still can’t rip a DVD in HandBrake, two reasons are behind it.ġ. Libdvdcss, a free DVD playback library developed by the VideoLAN project and used by VLC Media Player, can be installed on HandBrake to help it decode encrypted DVDs.

However, most DVDs, if not self-made, come with copy protection and hence cannot be ripped by HandBrake. The official document of HandBrake states that “ HandBrake does not defeat or circumvent copy protection of any kind”. Assuming that your DVD is intact (without scratch or damage) and the PC is running in optimal status but HandBrake can’t rip the DVD, the cause of it is most likely the copy protection.
