1. Some DVDs Need an External Library
You will need to use a free external library for ripping the encrypted DVDs. This library is known as libdvdcss. This will allow Handbrake to read the encrypted DVDs as well as rip them. The procedure is slightly different for Mac and Windows users.
2. Supports Only 2 Containers
Sadly, this converter can output videos only in the MKV or MP4 format.
3. Not Very User-Friendly
Handbrake software poses a little learning curve particularly for first-timers so you have to train yourself with the software initially.
4. Can’t Rip Protected DVDs
Handbrake can rip almost all homemade DVDs (non-commercial). As long as the DVD is not DRM copy-protected, the HandBrake software works fine, but when you use a copy-protected DVD, you won’t be able to rip it. So, that is a major drawback of the HandBrake software.
