[Solved] HandBrake Won't Rip Disney DVD with 99 Titles

HandBrake is a popular and free software for converting DVDs to digital formats. However, HandBrake is not a good choice for coping with DVDs with copy protection, let alone the Disney DVDs with advanced copy protections called Disney X-project DRM. When you tried to rip a Disney DVD using HandBrake, you may encounter problems like "Handbrake failed to read the Disney disc at the very beginning", "Handbrake doesn't display all movie sections", or "Handbrake ripped DVD movie chapters are in the wrong order".

"I'd like to rip a Disney DVD that I recently purchased so that I can view it on my iPad. But when HandBrake starts scanning it, it crashes. I've tried it multiple times and I'm not having any luck. Is there a trick to it?"

"Running into the same issue with 2 Disney DVDs... Toy Story 4 and Coco. When I rip the Disney DVD to MP4, everything is running great for the first 30-40 mins and then the remaining about 60 minutes, it just repeats about a 5-10 second loop of video. I don't have the same issue with Disney movies from pre-2017. Is there a way to rip newer Disney DVD contents?"

Why HandBrake won't rip Disney DVDs? The most common reason is copy protection. While libdvdcss can help HandBrake bypass encryption, it's only effective for basic CSS copy protection schemes. It often fails with newer and more advanced encryption methods, such as Disney's X-Project DRM and 99-title which are used on almost all Disney DVDs.

If you have tried the libdvdcss file way, but HandBrake still cannot rip the Disney DVD, then we would suggest you choose a HandBrake alternative or a dedicated DVD ripper which supports decrypting Disney X-project DRM and ripping Disney DVDs. To save your time, I tested a a variety of DRM removal software and handpicked the best two HandBrake alternative tools worth trying.
