HandBrake

[maxstradamus]

Has anyone had any success installing HandBrake? (http://handbrake.fr)

I'm on fc8 and after spending 2 hours trying to figure it out I end up with this:

[root@*** HandBrake]# make
( cd .. ; ./configure ; cd contrib ; cp -f ../config.jam . ; jam )
System: Linux
Endian: little

To build HandBrake, run:
 './jam' on a Mac (or 'make' to try the UB build method),
 'jam' on Linux or Windows.
...found 56 target(s)...
(rm -rf HandBrake HandBrake*.tar.gz ; mkdir -p HandBrake/api HandBrake/doc; cp test/BUILDSHARED AUTHORS BUILD COPYING CREDITS NEWS THANKS TRANSLATIONS HandBrake/doc ;  cp -rp libhb/libhb.so HandBrake/api ; cp -rp libhb/hb.h libhb/common.h libhb/ports.h HandBrake/api ; cp -rp HandBrakeCLI HandBrake ; tar zcvf HandBrake-"0.9.1"_i386.tar.gz HandBrake ; rm -rf HandBrake )

I'm kinda stuck now with no ideas what to do next.

Hmm, might be worth a try. Disappointing that it is a command line tool only in linux... Have you tried k9copy or dvdrip?

[maxstradamus]

i'm really after the x264 support

most of my videos are mpg's and i need to convert them into mp4's. Handbrake seems to be the perfect tool for it but i can't get it to work. I used to use Staxrip under windows.

Try:

yum install libtool jam rpmdevtools bzip2-devel zlib-devel subversion git yasm-devel yasm intltool

Then try to run 'make' again.

cheers

/me hands Duli a large mug of extra-strong black coffee.... Did you look at the date on this thread? I'm sure he's either given up or worked it out in the last 11 months

Anyway, it's good to point the work, for future reference!

I would love to know how to install handbrake on fedora any ideas? I can't find any real documents that explain how to on fedora.

I just did it on Fedora 10...

It was a fairly painless process.

I went to the Handbrake website and picked up the source code

I then followed Duli's advice here, as Fedora doesn't come with all the needed tools installed by default.

Then, go to the directory where you extracted the source, run 'make', and all should be good...

[mbrocketry]

What is the command to extract the files? Also where should the file be extracted as in which folder? Sorry I am still learning linux.

[Hlingler]

Easiest to use a file manager, and just right-click=>Extract To...

From command line:
tar xzvf handbrake.tar.gz

OR replace the 'z' with 'j' for a tar.bz2.

Unpack into any folder that your normal user can write to (usually your HOME folder, or such). You can (and should) run 'make' as a normal user, then as root user, find and copy/move the new library as shown above.

Duli,

Thanks for your instructions. Handbrake is working great!

Now how far are we from building a RPM ???
I switch to my Mint or KUbuntu install each time I have to use Handbrake ...

Hanbrake updated their "Compile Guide": they give detailed instructions for Fedora 10
But this sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries" "X Software Development" "GNOME Software Development" would install 179 packages (80 Mo)
So I tried their next instruction sudo yum install jam yasm zlib-devel bzip2-devel dbus-glib-devel hal-devel gtkhtml3-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel. It is 67 packages (23 Mo).

Then I guess that the group install is a secure alternative to libtool jam rpmdevtools bzip2-devel zlib-devel subversion git yasm-devel yasm intltool from Duli's post.

So I merged the two : sudo yum install libtool intltool rpmdevtools jam yasm yasm-devel zlib-devel bzip2-devel dbus-glib-devel hal-devel gtkhtml3-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel: it is 71 packages (24 Mo).
Obviously all this depends on what is already installed on your system.
Let's try to compile ...
I just run make in the directory Handbrake-0.9.3. It is a long process, there are many warning and some downloads. Seems to succeed: got a HandBrake-0.9.3_i386.tar.gz and a HandBrakeCLI.
Now I go into gtk directory, run ./autogen.sh: very fast. and make fast too. I got a ghb executable in the gtk/src directory !
And I can launch the ghb and play with the menu and tabs.

Next I will try to encode a real movie.
2 things bother me:
- I didn't configure anything, but I saw options available in the configure file ;
- did it compile for 64 or 32 bits ?

[VanHammersly]

Thanks Bruno. That did it for me. Nice work. It compiled for me on x64, btw.

Thanks for the info here guys! Very appreciated as always.

I know you are using fc8 but if anyone is using f edora 10 refer here for details on an x86 or x86_64 rpm:
