I hope to eventually get it back up, but it won't be any time soon. The person who was hosting the server for me decided that he didn't have time to deal with it (he is also a student) and then quit paying for it. I'm glad to hear that you have posted it on your site, though. If for any reason you need it, I do have the original code on my computer, so I can send it to anyone who wants it.<BR/><BR/>If you want to have gHandBrake appear in your menu, create a file called ghandbrake.desktop in /usr/share/applications and put the following in it:<BR/><BR/>===== Begin ghandbrake.desktop ======<BR/>[Desktop Entry]<BR/>Version=1.0<BR/>Encoding=UTF-8<BR/>Name=gHandBrake<BR/>GenericName=DVD Ripper<BR/>Comment=Rip DVDs Using gHandBrake<BR/>Icon=<BR/>Type=Application<BR/>Exec=ghandbrake<BR/>Categories=AudioVideo;GTK;Player<BR/>StartupNotify=true<BR/>Terminal=false<BR/>======= End ghandbrake.desktop ========<BR/><BR/>That should probably actually be part of the compiling process so that it does it automatically, but I must have left that out. I'm kind of new to configure scripts and MakeFiles and such. Don't include by lines with the ===== signs in them. In the icon field, you can type the path to any icon you want and it <I>should</I> appear, but it seems to be kind of finicky about when it works and when it doesn't. It only likes certain image formats, I think.<BR/><BR/>If you're new to Ubuntu and want help with anything like that, you should check out the Ubuntu Forums, and you'll definitely get help there.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for using gHandBrake, and let me know if you have any other problems.<BR/><BR/>- DerrickUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154603358358812839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845625574553920830.post-18489283226457183912008-10-08T19:52:00.000-07:002008-10-08T19:52:00.000-07:00I just switched from OSX to Ubuntu and amso happy ...I just switched from OSX to Ubuntu and amso happy to find this. Thanks for all the Handbrake help.Is there a way to set up this frontend to launch from an icon rather than going to the terminal?db1911https://www.blogger.com/profile/03872037442064792061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845625574553920830.post-88591455766797459852008-05-27T16:24:00.000-07:002008-05-27T16:24:00.000-07:00Hello,I'm the author of gHandBrake. I was pretty ...Hello,<BR/><BR/>I'm the author of gHandBrake. I was pretty surprised to see your comment on the site. You're the first person (other than my room mate and I) that I know of who has ever used it.<BR/><BR/>I haven't worked on it in a few months because no one has shown any interest in it, and I've been pretty busy with school and all. I'm a Junior in computer science at the University of Illinois, so I don't have much spare time.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see that at least someone has found it useful. I guess I'd be interested in picking up the development again. I was trying to get gHandBrake included in the Ubuntu repositories, but I don't know much about packaging and HandBrake's source code is so poorly organized that I just gave up. I like it though, and I think it's much more user-friendly than alternatives like DVD::rip and AcidRip, but still more useful than Thoggen.<BR/><BR/>If you're interested in contributing at all, let me know. Sometime, I'll try to put your changes on the site, but I really don't know when that would be.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, feel free to send me an email at derrick81787 at gmail.com, and thanks for using gHandBrake.<BR/><BR/>- DerrickUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154603358358812839noreply@blogger.com
