What is Handbrake?

It is…

… an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded, video transcoder, available for Max OS X, Linux, and Windows.

Simply put, Handbrake is useful for ripping your favorite DVDs into .AVIs.

Installation

You need to install the following package groups:

  • Development Tools
  • Development Libraries
  • X Software Development (gui)
  • GNOME Software Development (gui)

In your terminal, as root, just key in:

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries" "X Software Development" "GNOME Software Development"

And you also need the following packages:

  • yasm
  • zlib-devel
  • bzip2-devel
  • dbus-glib-devel (gui)
  • hal-devel (gui)
  • webkitgtk-devel (gui)
  • libnotify-devel (gui)
  • gstreamer-devel (gui)
  • gstreamer-plugins-base-devel (gui)

In your terminal, as root, just key in:

sudo yum install yasm zlib-devel bzip2-devel dbus-glib-devel hal-devel webkitgtk-devel libnotify-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel

Checkout Handbrake from the repository:

svn checkout svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk hb-trunk

Configure the build system:

cd hb-trunk ./configure --launch
