Thanks for the effort, sort of.<br>

HandBrake is a versatile, easy-to-use tool for converting DVDs
and other
videos into H.264, XViD, or OGG formatted media. It's
particularly useful
for making videos that are compatible with portable video
devices such as
the Apple iPod/iPhone or Sony PSP.
</p>
<p>
<b>This version of handbrake has been modified for inclusion in
Debian.
It does neither support audio encoding to AAC via faac nor MP4
format
muxing via libmp4v2, it falls back to the MKV format instead.
</b></p>
<p>
This package contains the graphical variant, ghb. </p>

I understand that Debian's policy is Debian's policy, but in this
case I find the restriction one not of my choice. Going from
converting to either MPEG4 or MKV down to MKV is not more choice.<br>
<br>
Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with Deb Multimedia as I personally
could give a rat's behind about mkv and with aac/mpeg4 they work out
just fine for my Mac world. Any chance you could provide a non-free
version? If not, then I only have one request:<br>
<br>
Please don't screw with the packaging priority so I have to
reinstall Deb Multimedia by hand each time, instead of a simple
apt-get upgrade. It's never wise to pee on your user base.<br>
<br>
I imagine you will ignore this request and I'll have to just keep
reinstalling it or I'll bug Christian Marillat to make sure there is
a workaround.<br>
<br>
- Sincerely,<br>
