Handbrake is a very<\/span> useful video conversion tool, and it runs on Linux as well!<\/p>\n

The latest released version (as of July 2013) is 0.9.9<\/strong>, and can be found here:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/handbrake.fr\/downloads.php<\/a><\/p>\n

The compile is somewhat non-standard, and is definitely a good candidate for RTFM…!<\/p>\n

If you try to do it the ‘usual’ way, you will probably get errors from out-of-date versions of various downloaded components (including a GTK error ”…HandBrake-0.9.9\/build\/..\/gtk\/configure: line 1934: syntax error near unexpected token `1.7.9′ ” )<\/p>\n

You will need to check the info on the wiki<\/em>, for the required libraries, and dependencies, etc:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/trac.handbrake.fr\/wiki\/CompileOnLinux<\/a><\/p>\n

To get a compiled version for Fedora (in my case) I used the following (found on the irc log)<\/p>\n

Don’t use the standard ‘create .\/build, then # compile..’ etc but (for Fedora) do:<\/p>\n

…HandBrake-0.9.9]$ .\/configure –prefix=\/usr –launch –launch-jobs=0 ; open build\/<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This will create the .\/build directory, and then patch<\/span> and compile, compatible with latest distro versions..<\/p>\n

Then (as root)
\n]$ cd .\/build<\/strong>
\n]$ make install<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will result in HandBrakeCLI<\/em><\/strong> (the command line<\/em> version) and ghb<\/strong><\/em> (the GTK<\/em> version) in \/usr\/bin..<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAfter all that effort, ghb<\/strong> segfaulted<\/em> as soon as a video clip started loading…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I did find a HandBrake 0.9.9 Fedora source RPM, and produced a Fedora 19 version from that, but that too segfaulted on loading.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I then tried a Fedora 18<\/span> rpm version of 0.9.9, and that seems to be working OK, with Fedora 19..<\/p>\n

The RPMs can be found here:\u00a0 https:\/\/lists.fedoraproject.org\/pipermail\/users\/2013-May\/435799.html<\/a><\/p>\n
