Install Handbrake on Ubuntu 10.04
Handbrake is a great DVD ripper. Unfortunately the version on the Handbrake website is not working. Here is a ubuntu how to for installing Handbrake on Ubuntu 10.04.
First we need to get DVD playback enabled:
sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
Next we need to add the PPA for the Handbrake Snapshots:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
Your system will now fetch the PPA’s key. This enables your Ubuntu system to verify that the packages in the PPA have not been interfered with since they were built.
Then do and update of the Apt repos lists:
sudo apt-get update
Next you need to install the software. Use the Ubuntu Software Center to install Handbrake. Do a search for Handbrake and install the GTK GUI.
After it installs you should have Handbrake working in Ubuntu 10.04.


I tried to install Handbrake but it does not seem to work (I have included some of the cli, any help would be appreciated Thanks

anders@speedy:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbreak-snapshots
Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~stebbins/+archive/handbreak-snapshots: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Is there a solution for this?
/A
Works great, thanks for the tip man!
thanks man
the instructions were helpful to me ..
I can now safely use handbrake, what good is this program takes out the maximum benefit to processors. I use a Quad-core and DVD ripped 40 minutes.
thanks again
Worked great!
Great to hear.
thanks very much for explaining how to do this!
Sci.
No Problem, if you have any questions let me know.
Worked on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Thanks a bunch
I did write one just for 10.10, although it is really the same as 10.04. If you have any questions, let me know.
Brad
It works! thanks!
Thank you!
