Rip DVD Audio to MP3 Using Handbrake and VLC Media Player on macOS High Sierra
Another method to rip DVD to MP3 audio is to use Handbrake and VLC video player, which is relatively quick and easy. Start with the latest version HandBrake, the free DVD-ripping and video-conversion tool. HandBrake requires that you also have VLC media player installed on your Mac, which contains the libdvdcss library for circumventing copy protection on DVDs. (DVD-ripping is a legal gray issue, and varies by country—but in the U.S. courts have not determined that ripping DVDs you own violates fair-use doctrines.)
1. Insert your DVD and launch HandBrake. Select the part of the DVD you want to rip; it's usually the longest title, or the main feature.
2. Click the "Browse" button next to the "Destination" field. This will allow you to select where you want to save your video file. Choose a location that will be easy to find later, such as your desktop.
3. Select the "Normal" preset. You can find this in the Presets frame on the right side of the window, or by clicking the Presets menu and selecting Presets → Normal. Click "Add To Queue."
4. Click "Start" to rip the title in your queue. The selected title will begin ripping to your computer. This may take a while, especially for full-length movies.
5. Once a copy or conversion starts, HandBrake will display a progress bar along the bottom of its window, along with an estimate of the time remaining to complete.
Once you have the DVD successfully ripped to a video file, you now need to split (aka demux) the audio from your video. Launch VLC Media Player and select the Streaming/Exporting Wizard under the File menu. The Wizard will walk you through the process of selecting the video file you want to demux, how you want the audio transcoded (Uncompressed WAV or MP3), and where you want the new file saved.
Whichever technique works best for you, you should end up with an mp3 audio file that can be dragged into your iTunes library. To make sure the file is ready for playback on your iPod, select the file within iTunes, go to the Advanced menu, and select Convert Selection to MP3. Now just transfer the MP3 audio files ripped from DVD to your iPod on macOS High Sierra and you're all set.
