| - | HandBrake is a commandline and GUI DVD ripper that will read DVDs and blu-ray | ||
| - | and convert them to some other format, like Ogg Theora, webm, xvid, x264, and | ||
| - | others. It is one of the many invaluable tools for the video editor, who can | ||
| - | typically expect to receive video from every imaginable source. | ||
| - | |||
| - | HandBrake can also be used as a simple format converter, transcoding one file | ||
| - | into another format. | ||
| - | |||
| - | HandBrake is available as a binary install from slackware.org.uk/people/alien/ | ||
| - | restricted_slackbuilds/handbrake or you can compile your own copy from | ||
| - | slackbuilds.org, although the way that the HandBrake build system works does | ||
| - | not make it valuable to compile from source, so Slackermedia recommends using | ||
| - | the binary install (in spite of the fact that the maintainer for the SlackBuild | ||
| - | is also the maintainer of Slackermedia). | ||
| - | |||
| - | Important | ||
| - | |||
| - | HandBrake requires very specific codec versions in order to build correctly, so | ||
| - | the SlackBuild downloads all of the HandBrake-sanctioned codec versions even | ||
| - | though you may already have all of those codecs installed. The SlackBuild is | ||
| - | not installing or re-installing these codecs onto your system, but using them | ||
| - | to compile HandBrake. Those versions of the codecs are discarded after | ||
| - | HandBrake is finished building. Install the binary package instead! it's much | ||
| - | simpler. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once installed, invoke HandBrake in a terminal as HandBrakeCLI and within the | ||
| - | GUI as only HandBrake. | ||
