DVD rip stops at 30+ minutes
I am using handbrake to back up and convert dvds. I just solved the css issue of encryption (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/problems-playing-dvd).
Now I face another one:
When I use handbrake to rip, it seems to be working fine and it produces a file that is playable and of very good quality but it is only 30+ minutes long.
I can't seem to fin information on this particular problem and hence a solution.
Is this a known issue, and do you know of a possible solution?
I am a translator!
Oh my, I just remembered the sad times when I was a Win used: "This is a demo. To continue your rippin' upgrade to the full version of this software for the reasonable price of 99.90 dollars". :D
Have you tried using another program to rip your DVD?
There can be an alternative way to make a Mkv of your favourite DVD.
1. Make an image of your whole DVD on your hard drive with this command :
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=nameoftheDVD.iso
sr0 is my DVD player, it can be something else for you.
2. Mount your iso image. You can also play it to see if there's something wrong at the 30st minute.
3. Encode your DVD with Handbrake
I also tried SimpleBurn but it didn't work for shortest movies in the DVD.
You mean it's too long?
I haven't had such a problem myself, and I've ripped a few DVDs with Handbrake. Are you perhaps choosing the wrong titles or chapters? Usually there's a title for the "play all" thing and then DVDs with multiple episodes of a TV show have each of them as a title. So you have to choose the right ones.
No, I didn't mean it is.
I had to rip with Simple Burn a DVD containing cevral movies from 25 to 10 minutes. I see what you mean with the "play all" you can find in music videos dvd. But it wasn't this kind of DVD.
To my surprise, Simple Burn didn't recognize the shortest ones.
This doesn't mean it will not work for you. Perhaps you'd like to rip as well a shortest movie like the movie trailer that is on your dvd. It will perhaps not work with SimpleBurn.
Copy a DVD as an iso is to my opinion a better way to make a MKV with Handbreak. Then, you can put the iso into the trash.
If you have a big hard drive with plenty of free space, his will allows you to launch ceveral DVD during the night. You can ask Handbreak to shut the computer when it's done.
I still don't know how the DVD player can behave during the encode with handbreake. This is why I'm doing this.
I had the same problem when trying to rip a DVD with handbrake. It stopped at 1O minutes everytime. I gave up thinking there was some sort of copy protection. Just after this I succesfully ripped another one.
You may try to check if there is something wrong with the DVD.
Hi Sasaki,
I had to give it up when it was some DVD coming from Universal because they were protected. I had to rip all my own DVDs from this ugly company on an Apple computer.
I just had one DVD who didn't seemed to be protected. I used to make an image of it before encoding it as I explained above, but there was also an error in the pictures when I played the iso of the DVD.
One question : where can I found a good stuff to calculate the bitrate of my MP4 such as good as this website does ?

My last few attempts resulted in playable fine quality sequences of 10 to 17 minutes!?
Unless this is consistent across multiple discs, I'm afraid the disc at hand is partially non-standard as in "defective by design", ie. the titles have random errors that a desktop standalone dvd player just ignores. It's meant to discourage ripping. Disney is particularly notorious in this respect.
Try to find a solution in Handbrake's forum.
