    ahhh. let me get this straight.

    you want to know if ripping a DVD with a program called 'Handbrake' will destroy the DVD? no it won't, you DVD WILL still work in any DVD player.

    Considering DVDs are a read only media, it would be electronically impossible for a program to alter the contents of the DVD.
