HandBrake 0.10.2 has been recently released, bringing important fixes.
HandBrake is an open-source multiplatform multithreaded video transcoder. It is used for converting DVD or Bluray discs to formats like MP4, MKV, H.264, MPEG-4 or other formats. You can also encode audio files like AAC, MP3, Flac, AC3 etc.
The latest version available is HandBrake 0.10.2, which brings only bug-fixes and stability improvements.
Installation instructions:
HandBrake is available via some third party PPA, so installing it on Ubuntu should not cause any problems. Just add the PPA to your system, update the local repository index and install the handbrake package:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk
Or, to install only the command-line tool, do:
$ sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli
Optional, to remove handbrake, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove handbrake*
