That's what Alan said, ~arch, as shown by the ~ in front of the version
number in the output from eix.

handbrake-0.9.9 is not masked, it is keyworded, a very different thing.
Masked means there is some reason if should not be generally used,
keyworded just means the ebuild is recent and hasn't yet moved frmo
testing to stable status. It is still in the main portage tree.

Yes, ${PORTDIR}/profiles/package.mask contains al the masked packages
along with the reasons for their masking.

ffmpeg is a good example of user-hostile software, partly because video
encoding is such a complex subject. Mencoder suffers similarly, which is
why I suggested Handbrake in the first place. Pick your input file,
choose an output preset and hit the big green Start button.
