is there a way to set handbrake to eject the tray after ripping a dvd?

Question

i looked into the settings of handbrake but found nothing to make handbrake eject the dvd tray after succesfull ripping a dvd. i dont really know if it is possible but this is linux and they always find ways to do things, even if its not implemented into an application. so i was wondering if there is any way to make handbrake eject after a succesful rip. i dont want/cant use another program for dvd ripping also, handbrake is the only one i found working on my system to rip copyprotected dvds.

Answer 1

HandBrake does not support and is not going to support ejecting optical disks.

So I can imagine two “Linux”¹ ways to achieve this:

1. Download HandBrake source, add the feature and build HandBrake yourself.

2. Use HandBrake from the command line and add the eject command when HandBrake finishes successfully. Pseudocode:

   handbrake <parameters> && eject

¹ Both the mentioned ways are also achievable on non-Linux OSes like macOS or Windows.
