What is libdvdcss?

Libdvdcss is a free and open source software library for accessing and unscrambling DVDs encrypted with Content Scramble System(CSS). Libdvdcss alone is only a library and can not play DVDs. DVD player applications, such as VLC media player, use this library to decode DVDs. Libdvdcss is optional in many open-source DVD players, but without it, only non-encrypted discs will play.

If you’re on a Mac, download this file and double-click to install it. For Mac users who runs OS X El Capitan, there will be a few more steps to install libdvdcss on El Capitan.

2. Type cmd+shift+G, and paste in this path: /Library/SystemMigration/History

4. Open a second Finder window.
5. Type cmd+shift+G, and paste in this path: /usr/local/lib (If you get an error saying this folder doesn’t exist, go to /usr/local instead, create a new folder called “lib”m and open it.
6. Drag and drop the libdvdcss.2.dylib file from the first window into the /usr/local/lib folder. You should be prompted for your admin password. Type that in and wait for the copy to finish.

HandBrake can’t rip copy protected DVDs without libdvdcss. So what is libdvdcss and how to download install VLC libdvdcss for HandBrake Windows/Mac?

Q – “Handbrake problems help! I used to use handbrake to rip DVD movies but now I can’t even do it anymore. I have a new laptop. When I got it all set up and ripped the next DVD, the pictures and sound are all scrambled. Should I download and install the libdvdcss.dll? How can I do this? Please don’t recommend any alternatives that have only trail versions. Free DVD rippers that don’t require any payment will be fine. Oh and I’m a PC user.”

Best Answer: Firstly, libdvdcss was removed from this free DVD ripper version 0.9.2, and HandBrake cannot rip DVDs encrypted with CSS ever since. Secondly, whether downloading and installing VLC libdvdcss solves “HandBrake won’t work” problem depends on the type of your DVD copy protection.

What is libdvdcss?

libdvdcss = lib (library) + dvd (DVD) + css (Content Scrambling System, a kind of DVD copy protection)

To sum up, libdvdcss is part of the VideoLAN project, which alone is only a library that can find and guess keys to do the DVD decryption, so that CSS-protected DVDs will be played correctly. Together with media player software and DVD rippers, such as VLC and HandBrake, libdvdcss helps read and decrypt DVDs of different regions or encrypted with CSS. And because it uses a generated list of possible player keys, libdvdcss has never been legally challenged.
