Method one: How to rip DVD with VLC Media Player on Mac OS X El Capitan?

VLC is not just a media player. It allows you to rip your DVD as well. Here we will show you how to rip DVD movies with VLC. (Note : This tutorial is written for VLC 0.9.6 and up).
Step 1: Start up VLC on Mac and load up DVD video. Under “Media”, click on “Convert/Save”

Step 2: When Open Media window appears, click DVD tab and browse the Disc device to make sure the field is pointing to the optical drive. Then navigate to “Convert/Save’


Step 3: Next the Convert screen opens where you can select a location for the ripped file.



Step 4: Give the file a name and a supported extension. For this example we ripped Lord of the Rings and gave it a MOV extension. If you don’t label it with a supported file extension it will default to .ps (Program Stream) file.


Step 5: When all settings are done, the Convert screen will look something like this where we have the source drive and destination file with appropriate extension.


Finally, You should be able to play the converted file with other media players assuming you have the right codec.

Also, VLC does not support the DVD with internal encryption so that it can’t recognize protected DVD well and fail to extract movies from DVD successfully.
