@basstubm - Most production DVD's are encrypted (potected) there are programs that handle this. AnyDvd is an interface program that works in the background as a go between your dvd rom and what ever program that tries to access the drive, I use this in combination with Dvd Shrink 3.2 to create .iso (disk image file) and then Virtual clone drive to mount it. You can be picky and get the full mirror of the factory disk with menus and features that you never use or just get the movie using that space for better quality in to a playable dvd image file (you can burn directly to dvd disk if you have nero installed) either way you end up with a dvd that handbrake can use. There is another program called DvdFab that has dvd protection removal built in with dvd authorizing features built in. There is another great program called ConvertX that will take virtually any video file and turn it in to a dvd burning direct to disk or .iso image file. Been doing this for a long time, have over 1600 dvd iso files in my library.
