The application is free and licensed under GPL (as HandBrake is). The source is available on github.com, and the complete application is available here. The application includes HandBrake. How to Download and Install Libdvdcss for Handbrake on Mac (Mojave incl.) Mac users use Homebrew to simplify the process of installing command line software like cask, htop, etc and open source packages including libdvdcss on a Mac. But make sure your Mac runs OS X 10.10 or later. If you are new to Mac, check the steps below.
If your MacBook or iMac is running on Mac OS X El Capitan or later version and you need to make libdvdcss workable on Mac OS X 10.11 for your Handbrake DVD ripping, you are suggested to prepare yourself mentally. The Handbrake for Mac OS X 10.11 doesn't run as smoothly as the one abovementioned.
Case 1: El Capitan apparently broke Handbrake ripping copy-protected DVDs. Any clue what to do?
Solutions:
1) Disable SIP and reinstall libdvdcss on Mac El Capitan. FIY: SIP means System Integrity Protection, the new security system for OS X El Capitan.
2) Install a copy via homebrew ( a package manager).
3) Move software library to /usr/local/lib instead, which is not protected by SIP.
How to move libdvdcss file to /usr/local/lib?
• Create a new Finder window
• Go to /Library/SystemMigration/History/ through cmd-shift-G (<--copy the path from here also allowed) and manually proceed on inside Migration-some-gibberish/QuarantineRoot/usr
• Copy the libdvdcss.2.dylib file (Cmd-C)
• Apply cmd-shift-G to /usr/local/lib (no copy remember!)
• Take use of cmd-opt-V to move it (not copy) it to this location
• It will ask for your password and should then move it.

Case 2: Current libdvdcss version is 2.8.1 BUT won't install on OS X El Capitan unless it has been installed before upgrading. The problem seems to be that El Capitan does not allow the creation of the necessary folders in usr. If you installed it BEFORE updating to El Capitan then there is no problem. I tried to disable rootless but still no luck
Solutions:
1) Downgrade your El Capitan to Mac OS X Yosemite first and then download & install libdvdcss and OSXfuse on Yosemite before upgrading to El Capitan.
2) Generally, /usr/local can't be found on fresh installs of OS X 10.5 to 10.10. When you update operating system from Yosemite (no /usr/local directory) to El Capitan, /usr/local is generated automatically. If not, there might be something wrong with the El Capitan installer or your system.

It's a fundamental law of computing: multimedia files are never in the format you need. And so while in theory something like an iPhone is great for watching videos on the move, in practice they'll need to be in something like M4V, MP4 or MOV formats, and getting your files converted can be a problem. But that's where HandBrake comes in.
The program accepts video data in just about any source format, including DVDs (as long as they're unencrypted: commercial DVDs can't be imported unless you install extra libraries).
You can then choose your output format (MP4 or MKV), and apply whatever additional tweaks you might need. Videos can be resized or cropped, for instance, filtered in various ways (deinterlace, denoise, deblock, more), you're able to choose the destination frame rate, or even set a target size for the converted file so you can be sure it'll fit on your target device.
If you prefer a simple life, though, you can just choose one of the conversion presets like iPad, iPad or AppleTV. HandBrake will automatically set all its other options, and all you have to do is click Start and wait for your new video or audio file to arrive.

It's worth adding that HandBrake is 64-bit-only.
Verdict:HandBrake is an effective and highly configurable video converter. The interface can be intimidating, though, and you'll need some transcoding experience to get the best out of the program.
