I just got my kids some new DVDs, but I am trying to rip them and back them up, since I know they are rough with their discs, and I want to have backups in case the discs become scratched.

However, I am unable to get either HandBrake or OGMRip to rip the disc, closing down in error.

I already made a symlinc from /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd, I also installed regionset in case the region was wrong (it wasn't).

I am stumped. Could someone take a look at the output of HandBrakeCLI and tell me what's wrong?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/sr0 -o Brave.mp4

Here are the simple steps I do for stuff like this (And other multimedia issues):

  1. Update system and Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntu-restricted-addons  
    
  2. Install the Library needed to read all types of DVD and execute the script for it

    sudo apt-get install libdvdread4   
    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh  
    

    This process includes preparing your DVD unit to be able to Read DVDs and download files needed from the Medibuntu site.

  3. Add one of the PPA for Handbrake below:

    STABLE PPA

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases  
    

    SNAPSHOT PPA

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
    
  4. Update repositories and install/upgrade handbrake

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli
    
  5. If you get the following error then follow the instructions here: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/install-handbrake-in-ubuntu-13-10-saucy/

    Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
    
  6. If you already had it install then do

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    

Now we can proceed with the process of doing the backup

  1. Open Handbrake

    enter image description here

  2. Click on Source

    enter image description here

  3. In the bottom left corner you can see an option that says Detected DVD Devices select your DVD from there since it might not work if you select it from the left panel.

    enter image description here

  4. Wait a moment (Might take about 2 to 5 minutes if you are doing it like me through an external USB unit). Then simply select the Start button or change any Video/Audio settings and then click on the Start button.

    enter image description here

If you want to do it the terminal way then:

sudo HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/sr0 -o Ocean11.mkv

Assuming that the DVD unit is in /dev/sr0

NOTE - Posted this after testing on a computer that did not have nothing installed yet. It worked. Hope it works for you also.

    Just a heads up Luis I think you might be missing the gtk or cli from the end of this line sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install handbrake. I used for example handbrake-gtk Thanks for your very well explained answer.

    This worked great - only thing I had to do differently to get it to work was change from dvdnav to libdvdread under File->Preferences->Advanced (at least for my DVD set of interest).

Do you have libdvdcss installed? If not then open a terminal and copy and paste this command:
sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

Then, after entering the command above, enter sudo apt-get install libdvdcss.

I believe this might help.
