Fix Handbrake to work with OS X 10.11 El Capitan and 10.12 Sierra


  • Make a new Finder window
  • Use cmd-shift-G to go to /Library/SystemMigration/History/ (<--you and="" can="" copy="" from="" here="" inside="" li="" manually="" migration-some-gibberish="" on="" path="" proceed="" the="" uarantineroot="" usr="">
  • Copy the libdvdcss.2.dylib file (Cmd-C)
  • Use cmd-shift-G to /usr/local/lib (but don't copy this path or you'll lose your file!)
  • Use cmd-opt-V to move it (instead of copy) it to this location
  • It will ask for your password and should then move it
