HandBrake could not find VLC or your VLC is incompatible (Note: 32 bit vlc is not compatible with 64 bit HandBrake and vice-versa).
If you see this message, it is because VLC since version 2.0 no longer provides the libdvdcss that decodes DVDs for HandBrake.
For a fix, install a copy of libdvdcss from videolan.org, available at this link:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/libdvdcss/1.2.12/macosx/
-> libdvdcss.pkg
Double click and install the libdvdcss.pkg, then restart HandBrake.
Done!

Spot on, thanks.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your instructions and links. Unfortunately, after following the instructions, I’m now getting a new error message:
“This version of HandBrake is 32 bit, VLC found but not 32 bit!”
(I used to get the error reproduced above: “HandBrake could not find VLC or your VLC is incompatible (Note: 32 bit vlc is not compatible with 64 bit HandBrake and vice-versa).
”
Anymore suggestions?
This link doesn’t work anymore. It says 404 File not Found. Is there a alternative?
