You need to add the ppa to your software sources list. Open a terminal, and type the following command:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases

you will have to open software sources, and change the version to quantal, then run an update and install tha package using your favourite method.

[bird1500]

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases

Then in "Software and Updates" change "raring" to "quantal" as shown on screenshot.

If you check the links you provided, you can see that you didn't change the version to quantal in System Settings->Software Sources Software & Updates.

It's been a while since I checked it from system settings, as I use synaptic package manager, and access it from there.

Hi Fishboy for reasons unknown [i had gone to software sources and picked quantal] i too got messages which did not allow me take that route


but this worked for me it will for you too probably and is very fast

I use the handbrake snapshot ppa, set to quantal, and I usually get daily updates to handbrake using synaptic.

[FishboyFive]

i tried to use the usual PPA and take the software sources back to Quantal but not yet an option so using the debian packages a quick route for now if anyone needs this software

wget http://ftp.dk.debian.org/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/apps/h/handbrake/handbrake-cli_0.9.8-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb && wget http://ftp.dk.debian.org/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/apps/h/handbrake/handbrake-gtk_0.9.8-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i handbrake-cli_0.9.8-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i handbrake-gtk_0.9.8-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb

Then find in Applications/Sound and Video

dependency problems prevent configuration of handbrake-gtk:
handbrake-gtk depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (>= 1.3.10); however:
Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not installed.


dpkg: error processing handbrake-gtk (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

this is what works for me in 13.04

64Bit

wget https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+arc...tal1_amd64.deb

then

sudo dpkg -i handbrake*; sudo apt-get -f install
