| - | ======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 be used as a simple format converter, transcoding one file | ||
| - | into another format. | ||

| - | **Effective** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | HandBrake is a one-stop, quick, and effective ripping solution. If you need footage off of a DVD but you don't want to spend all day figuring out how to best get it, just get HandBrake. It's that easy. | ||

| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Cumbersome** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | HandBrake can almost be overwhelming, with lots of options and features, many aimed less at multimedia creators but at home theater enthusiasts who want to put their disc libraries onto a hard drive, or travellers wanting movies on their media players. | ||

| - | |||
| - | **Illegal?** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | Depending on what it is that you are ripping and where you live, using HandBrake could be illegal. | ||

| - | |||
| - | =====Install===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | HandBrake is available as a binary install from [[http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/handbrake/]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | While you can, obviously, compile your own copy from [[http://slackbuilds.org]], the way that the HandBrake build system works does not make it at all valuable to compile it from source. 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. | ||
