Hi there.
As I am a brand new dad, I want to transcode videos of my newborn son to
formats that other family members can see and the first thought of mine was
to do the job with handbrake.
For that purpose, I took the packages of Christian and started modifying
them to be in a git-buildpackage buildable form (I wouldn't like anything
else) and I have eliminated *almost* (not all, yet) downloading that
handbrake performs when it is being built.
With the packages that the team has already (libmkv and faac), there are
only some finishing touches before we get a functional (not legal) package.
Then, after that, I guess that one could also be legally OK and upload
handbrake to Debian.
Would you be interested in the work that I have done so far? Please, keep in
mind that it is *incomplete* and very *dirty*, but a start, at least. :)
Regards,
