Ripping Discs at the Console

16 Nov 2012

A very brief guide to ripping DVD media at the console with handbrake.

# Rip a disc with the normal preset
HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/dvd -o output.mp4 --preset=Normal --main-feature  

# Scan a disc for chapter data
HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/dvd -t <chapter> --scan

# Rip a specific chapter
HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/dvd -o output.mp4 --preset=Normal -t <chapter>
