Installing HandBrake video converter on Ubuntu 13.04

It looks like Ubuntu suits very well for my laptop, compared to the OEM Windows 7 with which the lappy was bought.

So started using most of the common tasks using Ubuntu. One of them was the conversion of downloaded movies, to make them supported by my TV. The answer was HandBrake, an open source solution to do the job across Windows, Mac and Linux.

Let's talk about the installation. Since the OS is ubuntu installation went like a breeze.

Step 1: Add the repository

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

Step 2: Update the repos.

sudo apt-get update

Step 3: Install HandBrake

sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk
