  I just tried to rip toy story to my ipad. The chapters are completely out of order. I followed the steps in the video. Any idea why that happens? Is there a way to fix it?

  I downloaded the software and was able to tranfer a movie to my ipad but the movie looks like little pixels and the volume fades in and out. At time the video does clear up but only for a second or two and then backto the pixels. The soundtrack also skips as well. Is there some other settings I need to change or something.

  My problem is the same as Tony, can get the dvd onto the ipad but very pixelated and stuttered viewing.
  I selected Apple TV and made no other setting changes,
  The file that turned out is a MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) and it states it opens with itunes??
  Should I be doing something else..
  Thanks.

  So does handbrake use VLC in the background or something? It wasn’t clear to me why VLC is needed in the video tutorial.

    VLC is a the part that does the unseen work, it uncompresses and recompresses the video. Handbrake just uses it instead of providing it’s own tools to do it.

      Hey Jason. I just didn’t see any replies to the questions about the pixilation and was wondering if you had any solutions?

  Don’t mean to hijack the thread with a differing opinion, but thought my experience might be helpful to Brock or JJ….

  I didn’t have time to figure out why Handbrake wasn’t working for me, so I bit the bullet and paid for aiseesoft DVD to iPad converter. I think it was $20, but I can’t remember.

  but maybe more to the point, it worked really well, and was fairly quick. I converted about 6 episodes of Band of Brothers from DVD to my iPad in an evening.

  One word of note that could impact others: very fast-paced action scenes get a little pixelated. but other than that, its very very clear.

  transferred a movie to iTunes and the picture is pixelated as well. When I first started Handbrake and opened the movie file, this message popped up “HandBrake could not find VLC or your VLC is incompatible (Note: 32 bit vlc is not compatible with 64 bit HandBrake and vice-versa).” Mind you I have downloaded the appropriate software listed on this website. What’s going on? please help

  FIY, I did this and it worked flawlessly, HOWEVER, I skipped downloading/using VLC, as I felt, from what I know, it was unnecessary. Seemingly, I was right, at least for my purposes anyway. I just dragged the new m4v movie file created by Handbrake over top my iPad icon in iTunes, and it was seamlessly transferred to the iPad with perfect DVD quality. Try it if you’re having issues. It’s worth a shot!
