HandBrake is very popular. Typical video format of a commercial DVD is MPEG-2, not MP4, and encrypted with Content Scrambling System (CSS). Are you sure that you've set up HandBrake properly? I recall it can be a little fussy to install the de-CSS library. https://easefab.com/howto/use-handbrake-rip-dvd-free.html
Exactly what kind of DVD are you attempting to copy?
Is it one of those dodgy types that was recorded in a DVD camcorder or one that you have made on a computer?
Also be aware that what may be only a tiny glitch when viewed on a TV DVD player can render a track/chapter completely unplayable on a computer DVD burner.
For longevity and archival purposes, DVDs are one of the worst choices as apart from the impermanence of the dyes used, the whole format is now almost obsolete like VHS.
Thank you TerryB with your prompt reply. Just this morning I was dealing with a Final Cut Pro Tech from Apple and while handbrake was in process she was to call me back upon the 10 minute time limit that it was take to process with HandBrake never called back and at that point, I got stuck. I will follow your link as advised in the a.m.. If you can assist me with another matter that I'm faced with concerning tape media on my Sony digital camcorder, which I'm trying to save to solid-state device many of which are aged I've manually cleaned the innards of the recorder as directed on YouTube however, it didn't improve the tapes whatsoever. If you have any advice on this matter, I would appreciate it thanks again.
I created this particular DVD on a Dell computer quite a few years back. It was created via an internal DVD Player burner; however what I'm trying to do is save all my DVDs and tape media from my digital eight camcorder Sony, which go back some 20 years or more, and have found that the tape media skips and the quality is quite poor.. I intend to say whatever I can and move them all on to an external solid site device.
