If you are Handbrake[1] user, then you have great chance to encounter this trouble below:
"I'll select a 2:01:23 movie and trying to rip it with my Handbrake 0.9.4, and then when it's done Handbrake only give me half the movie at like 1:12:47. And it will stop at the same point every time I try it with that specific movie. It's not all of them just some that I run into this problem."

Why Handbrake Only Rip Half of DVD, and how to solve it?
Reportedly, if you have some DVDs that can not use Handbrake to get it 100% converted, then this DVD is mostly encrypted with DVD copy-protections. To solve this Handbrake not finish the whole DVD converting trouble, you can give the latest Handbrake 0.9.4 64 bit a try. Coprerating with VLC media player 64bit, you can work through with some of encrypted DVDs (make sure your have the full copy rights of them).
However, when you using Handbrake to rip latest Disney DVDs one the Mac OS, you will get an error message says: "This version of handbrake is 64 bit, VLC found but not 64 bit!" It is one of the biggest trouble for Handbrake Mac users. On one hand, though they followed the instructions as that message said, they would still get it from time to time. On the other hand, Handbrake Mac users need to get VLC 64 bit installed firstly, which is reported as buggy software sometimes.
Therefore, before manage to backup copy protected DVDs, you need to know how to defeat Handbrake 64 VLC error. Otherwise, you can also find a Handbrake Alternative when handling with encrypted DVDs. And WinX DVD Ripper for Mac is best recommended Handbrake Alternative (Windows Ver. is available here).
