Install Handbrake on Fedora 16

MorphingDragon · #1 11th November 2011, 04:25 AM

We can use Handbrake to RIP DVDs. This method doesn't involve ATRPMS.

1 Enable the Missing Box Studio repo.

Code:

yum localinstall -y http://repo.missingbox.co.nz/repo/linux/fedora/missingboxstudio-release-1-1.noarch.rpm  --nogpgcheck

2 Install Handbrake and libdvdcss

Code:

yum install HandBrake-gui libdvdcss

Just tried the Missingbox repo as per your Guide.

It fails, off line, does'nt work.

Is there an update to this guide?

Apparently, the F15 version from here will work:

Yes, on the main website in my sig. I had to change the repo due to unforseen inconveniences.

I have updated this forum post with the link.

One can always do the svn co svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk handbrake-svn

and build it from source . That's usually what I do, but I only use it for transcoding for iPad, so don't need or want the GUI--this eliminates a lot of needs too.

If doing that they have pretty good instructions, once you cd handbrake-svn in the docs/BUILD-Linux section. I'm not sure what I miss, but it seems as if one has to run make a second time, as if the first one only makes a config file--without going into detail, usually, one would run ./configure && make && make install but if one does that--or at least when i do, it's missing the binary, and I have to run make twice. Probably clearer to a programmer.

Ah--I see what I missed, it's actually pretty clear. You do ./configure, then you can run make which is, in this case, an alias for make build. THEN you run make again and that's what does the compiling.

On the other hand, I seem to remember it sometimes just going and compiling. So, not sure--just that sometimes, you have to run make twice, and looking at the docs, it seems as if it makes build before doing an actual make that compiles the binary. Running make -j <number_of_cores> build clean works.

It probably helps if I put int the right URL for the RPM.

Something's still not right, I'm getting this message:

Code:

http://repo.missingbox.co.nz/repo/linux/fedora/16/i386/main/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://repo.missingbox.co.nz/repo/linux/fedora/16/i386/main/repodata/repomd.xml
Trying other mirror.

Tries that a few times and then:

Code:

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: missingboxstudio. Please verify its path and try again

*Goddammit*

Try it again after doing:

Code:

su -
yum clean all

ozjd · #12 30th December 2011, 09:57 PM

You could just install Kororaa, it is Fedora with all the extras as standard including HandBrake. Link below.

Awesome, that did it!

Busy encoding as I type this. Thank you for your patience.
Would you mind explaining what the clean did and why it was necessary?

ozjd · #14 31st December 2011, 06:23 AM

'yum clean all' removes all the metadata and cache such as repo package contents. That forces yum to download and so update its databases. That probably isn't a correct technical description but is pretty close.
You may have noticed it got all that info again before doing anything. There is more info in the 'man yum' page

I mis-configured some settings on my server so I had to update some repo folders and settings.

YUM doesn't check the repo for its settings each time it installs and updates so cleaning forces YUM to redownload the repo databases etc.
