And then you can launch Handbrake, select the Blu-ray, then wait a few seconds while the program reads the disc. Scanning time varies with content on your disc.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2. After HandBrake has completed analyzing the Blu-ray you selected, it will display the Blu-ray name as the Source in its main window. Click the Title drop-down menu to choose which title you want to rip. Other adjustable options including Angle, Chapters, Seconds and Frames. <\/p>\n<p>Step 3. Select Preferences from the HandBrake menu, and it offers dozens of output presets, grouped under General, Web, Devices, Matroska, and Legacy. You can choose any one at will.For instance, \"Fast\" and \"Very Fast\" presets will sacrifice some output quality, while \"HQ\" and \"Super HQ\" presets will help slow the ripping speed and increase output file size.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/handbrake-Select-Preferences-6.jpg\"  onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/handbrake-Select-Preferences-6.jpg\" title=\"handbrake-Select-Preferences-6\" alt=\"handbrake-Select-Preferences-6\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Step 4.
