Errors when running handbrakegtk in my Debian

[ant]

Does anyone have any ideas why my new handbrakegtk and mono installations give me this error in Debian? I got the package from
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sour ... 1_i386.deb
...

This project is not in any way supported by HandBrake. It's 3rd party and last I checked, it's also abandoned.

That's interesting. The reason I discovered this program is because of http://www.linux.com/feature/125623 ... I guess I will uninstall it since it useless then.

So, what's a good replacement to use as a frontend in Debian?

[s55]

There isn't any GUI replacement. The only official build is the CLI for *nix based machines. It's well documented. http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide. It's pretty easy to use.

There are a few 3rd party wrappers kicking around this forum but your probably best sticking with the CLI. It's probably just as easy when you get the hang of it.

I've found the terminal based version much easier if the terminal doesn't intimidate. It seems HandBrakeGTK jumped out of no where in terms of popularity. I'm not sure it's abandoned, try the person on the forums named th3rmite; he is the guy who created it. He is apparently in a country where internet access is limited and as such can only reply periodically.

[redraiderbum]

Also, I don't know what you've installed but you need the mono-dev package as well. Also when you run the binary you need to put:

mono ./handbrakegtk

Those are just a couple of things I remember, if you search for all posts (the search is in the top right corner) by th3rmite you will probably find what you need.

It hasn't had any code changes for months...

Well, that hardly matters if it still is one of the better (best?) handbrake guis for *nix.

[s55]

Well, its your choice. You can use HB releases or you can get no support.

It was based of SVN code between 0.9.1 and current which was never meant to be released as it was a work in progress and very buggy at the time.
The presets are wrong, the x264 tab doesn't work as it should, There are numerous bugs in ther dvd Information parser that mean a number of titles don't scan properly. The list goes on.

This is not the place hbgtk discussion.

Just FYI, th3rmite has not been active on the forum for almost 3 months now. Before that he was online several times a week.

That's funny, I thought you were here complaining that it errors on you.

Maybe you notice how it's impossible to get support from the author?

Have you ignored how we keep telling you there are bugs in there? It would be understandable; that's certainly the developer's response to bug reports.

Have to learn to try the program first...

But you understand this 'surge', right ? As *nix guis are concerned it at least looks, and for some works, better than the official one. Support is only a issue when problems arise...(i'm gonna get blasted for this one...)

Learned to read jbrjakes mind in advance of him thinking about your relpy?

Hope not...

Well, at light of this little surge, does the possibility of creating an official gtk gui exists ?

[nightstrm]

The beauty of open source is that anything is possible!

There are the beginnings of an offical gui in the SVN however noone is currently actively working on it. Anyone is welcome to come along and take it on though.
