HandBrake can be downloaded from Tweaking 4All, but we recommend that you get the latest version from the HandBrake website. Linux user should you follow the MakeMKV forum instructions. MakeMKV is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS X. After 30 days you’ll have to reinstall it and another 30 day “trial” will work. MakeMKV is free at the moment, not sure if that will change in the future, but it has a 30 day use limit. The MKV file(s) MakeMKV creates however are huge (30 Gb and more) as it’s a full, not transcoded, copy of your DVD or Blu-Ray disc. The HandBrake conversion is optional, since MakeMKV already creates and MKV. HandBrake is totally free and an awesome tool to rip DVD’s and convert video files (guides: MacOS X, Windows, Linux). To copy or rip a Blu-Ray to MP4 or MKV we will use both MakeMKV and HandBrake – both are free. 06:42:37.219 hazelworker Shellscript exited with non-successful status code: 2 06:42:37.Method: Rip with MakeMKV and Convert with HandBrake 06:42:37.218 hazelworker Shell script failed: Error processing shell script on file /Volumes/HTPC/Media/Movies/AVCHD/Process/20131117184830.MTS.

The issue is that I think there might be something wrong with the way I've labelled the directories to output to. HandBrakeCLI is in my /usr/bin folder and is running fine from the script. However, I need some help with my HandBrake script that I have so far.

that makes it all look pretty in iTunes and on the Apple TV. A significant use of my iMac is to power through my BDs and DVDs, for which I use a mixture of MakeMKV, HandBrake and then a folder of services that are useful for batch tagging etc. Hi all, This is my first post on this forum and I'm not long a user of the software that is revolutionising my Mac productivity.
