-======HandBrake====== 
- 
-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 [[http://​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.
