Can Handbrake Rip an Entire DVD into Separate Files by Each Chapter?
When it comes to ripping DVD, HandBrake is always the first to recommend. However, Handbrake only gives 1 chapter per title from every disk which means you cannot use Handbrake to achieve this small target. Moreover, Handbrake can't handle copy protection. Even with libdvdcss being installed, HandBrake only rips some certain DVDs with CSS. And the annoying thing is that libdvdcss doesn't always work.
