I need the handbrake-cli tool, and I believe it does not come with the standard Ubuntu repository, so I followed this guide.
Adding the repository
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
No errrors, everything seems fine.
Everything seems fine through the installation:
jdoe@jdoe:~$ sudo apt-get install -y handbrake-cli handbrake-gtk

And another question
Why is handbrake-cli not included in the handbrake package from the default Ubuntu repository? Perhaps, there is a really good reason for that, that I should know :)
