Insert a DVD into the DVD Player.  Play the DVD.

If you are capturing short clips navigate to the section(s) that you want to capture then select “Playback” to check the active title and make a note of it.  Handbrake usually does a good job of identifying the correct title for the main feature, but this info is good to have on hand.

Select “Playback” and make a note of the active chapter for each clip that you would like to capture.  Make a note of it.  If you are capturing the entire DVD you can skip this step.

Launch Handbrake.

Select “Source” and select the DVD.

Handbrake will scan the DVD and will usually select the correct title for the feature. If working with a television series or if Handbrake gets it wrong, select your title manually.
