  Version         : 0.9.1

  Description     : Rips and encodes DVD videos

Handbrake provides a friendly graphical interface for ripping DVD
videos and encoding them as video files.  It can show a preview of
content before ripping, to verify titles and chapters.  It can
deinterlace, crop, and scale video.  It supports DVD subtitles by
encoding them directly in the video image.
..
Handbrake supports numerous formats and codecs:
 - File format: MPEG-4 (MP4), Matroska (MKV), Ogg (OGM), or AVI
 - Video: MPEG-4 or H.264 (1 or 2 passes or constant quantizer/rate
   encoding)
 - Audio: AAC, MP3, Vorbis or AC-3 pass-through (supports encoding of
   several audio tracks)
..
Handbrake also provides a command-line interface, HandbrakeCLI.


Some notes on Handbrake:

* Its build system needs some serious work.  It wants to download and
  build all its dependencies at build time, and statically link to
  those copies.  (I have not actually managed to get it to build, due
  to build errors in one of these libraries.)  This will need to
  change to support dynamically linking to system libraries.

* Some of the libraries it depends on do not exist in Debian due to
  legal problems such as patent issues or anti-circumvention laws.
  For libdvdcss, ideally it could do the same thing all the DVD
  players in Debian do: use libdvdread (which Handbrake already does),
  and let libdvdread pull in libdvdcss if installed.  For encumbered
  codecs, ideally it could pick up libraries if installed and disable
  the corresponding codecs if not; however, if it cannot, then perhaps
  it could have a DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=risky like ffmpeg.

* Build-Depends available in Debian: jam, liba52-0.7.4-dev,
  libavcodec-dev, libdvdread3-dev, libmpeg2-4-dev, libogg-dev,
  libvorbis-dev, libsamplerate0-dev

I don't know, but...

Yes.  I found ogmrip significantly easier to use, and it also doesn't
require major surgery to make it suitable for packaging.  Christian
Marillat already has packages of ogmrip on debian-multimedia.

I no longer have any need for handbrake packages, so I'll close this RFP
with this mail.  If anyone else wants handbrake, they can reopen the RFP
and set themselves as the submitter.
