Reading (and converting) of encrypted DVD fails, even though you point handbrake to vlc portable under Tools/Options/Picture. Note: Handbrake uses libdvdcss of en existing vlc installation. May you need to have (the non portable version of) vlc installed on your host computer. I can't test this. Non encrypted DVD-Video just works.
