Re: Handbrake, Flatpak and Pop OS

2021-09-05 Thread Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss 
It should so long as you have the proper driver support for BluRay. Believe me, 
I have an entire library of DVD’s that I have collected over the years and I 
simply wished to have them electronically available for the room mates here. It 
was easy enough to rip them and place them on a 10TB HDD. Lately, I have been 
converting all my old H264 mp4’s to a newer H265 format. This has the net 
effect of reducing file size without loss of audio or video quality. In any 
case, since I still retain the originals, I am in no danger of facing copyright 
infringement (I don’t share online).

Hope this helps.

Re: Handbrake, Flatpak and Pop OS

Not having libdvdcss in the flatpak sandbox would probably be the 
culprit.  I just tried installing the flatpak myself to see if I could 
figure out how to make handbrake aware of the dvdcss library and 
immediately remembered why I got rid of any and all flatpak stuff on my 
system.  It wanted to download a gigabyte of support flatpak crap to go 
along with the handbrake install.  That might be fine if I was going to 
use a ton of flatpaked stuff, but it's seems rather excessive for the 
one or 2 flatpaks I've ever come across that I might want.
...so it didn't get installed.  I'll find a different way to get the 
latest version on my system.

Could it be that libdvdcss is not part of the Flatpak version, or that the

Re: Handbrake, Flatpak and Pop OS

Um, why don’t you install VLC instead, then use it to rip the DVD’s into large 
raw files. At that point, you can then use handbrake to properly compress them 
to suitable size.

There is an export function under the file menu for VLC that gives a lot of 
options for type and coding.
