Install Handbrake and libdvdcss-2.dll So You Can Decrypt DVDs

To encode DVD's you need to do the following.

First, you’ll need to download (64bit) libdvdcss-2 dll to your computer.

Copy the libdvdcss-s.dll file to your Handbrake program folder. If you used the default installation settings, this should be in C:\Program Files\Handbrake.

After this, Handbrake will be able to read your encrypted DVDs
