Summarize:

Place the DVD logo side-up in the DVD reader to do this. Your computer will immediately begin reading the DVD. If any auto-play windows open after you insert the DVD into your computer, close them before continuing. Double-click the HandBrake icon, which resembles a tropical drink next to a pineapple. Click Open Source in the upper-left side of the HandBrake window, then click your DVD's name in the pop-out menu that appears. HandBrake will begin reading your DVD. The pop-out menu may open automatically when you open HandBrake. This will take several minutes, so just make sure that your computer is charged (or plugged in) and in a well-ventilated area. Your computer's DVD drive will become fairly warm from this point until you're done burning the copy DVD, so it's important to make sure that your computer stays in an area where it can vent. It's in the lower-right corner of HandBrake (Windows) or on the right side of HandBrake (Mac). Doing so opens a new window. Click the Desktop folder on the left side of the window (you may first have to scroll up to find it). This will make the DVD's file easier to find later. On a Mac, click the "Where" drop-down box in the middle of the window, then click Desktop in the resulting drop-down menu. Type whatever you want to name the ripped file into the "File name" or "Name" text box. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will set a save location for your ripped DVD file. This green-and-black "Play" {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/2\/22\/Android7play.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/22\/Android7play.png\/30px-Android7play.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":460,"bigWidth":"30","bigHeight":"30","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>I edited this screenshot of an Android icon.\n<\/p><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/div>"} button is at the top of the HandBrake window. On a Mac, you'll click Start here. By default, HandBrake will rip the DVD twice and select the highest-quality version, so this process can take upward of an hour (or more) for a feature-length film. Closing background programs (e.g., video players, web browsers, etc.) while your DVD is burning may speed up the ripping process. Press the "Eject" button on your DVD player's lid. This will remove the disc. At this point, you're ready to begin burning the MP4 file onto a DVD. If you're using an older Mac, you'll instead press the ⏏ Eject key.
Insert the DVD into your computer's DVD reader. Open HandBrake. Select your DVD. Allow HandBrake to finish reading the DVD. Click Browse. Set the desktop as the save location. Enter a file name. Click Save. Click Start Encode. Wait for your DVD to finish ripping. Eject the DVD.
