How to Make Handbrake Libdvdcss Workable on Mac OS X El Capitan or Later

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 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?

EaseFab Video Converter Ultimate. EaseFab Video Converter Ultimate is considered to be the most. Insert a DVD in your optical drive. Launch Handbrake, select the DVD, then wait a few seconds while the app reads the disc. If your DVD contains multiple titles, such as a movie.

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.

The way to fix libdvdcss won't install problem is temporarily disable rootless, create the directory, make sure the 'restricted' flag is not set, and re-enable rootless.
