Apologies for bringing this topic forward again - and if there is a better place to have posted - -

I have purchased a Region 2 DVD -
i have tried both MTR (2.6.6) and Handbrake (Version 0.9.5 x86_64 (2011010300)) to rip this but all attempts have been unsuccessful.

My system information is below.
I just really don't want to flip the Region viewing on the MacBook Pro (limited to 5) - short term solution but not long term.
Have not bought region free drive bc I am hoping for a software solution.

Thanks in advance to those that might have an answer or suggestion.

OS 10.5.8

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
