Bundled HandBrakeCLI

Ripster includes a separately executable build of HandBrakeCLI to provide hardware-accelerated video encoding on supported Linux systems.

HandBrakeCLI is an independent third-party program developed by the HandBrake project. It is not part of the original Ripster source code and is not licensed under Ripster's GPL-2.0-or-later license.

The bundled HandBrakeCLI executable is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPL-2.0-only).

The corresponding license text, build information, checksums, build scripts, patches and corresponding source notes are provided under:

The currently bundled binary contains FDK-AAC related strings. Redistribution of this binary is marked as unresolved until a separate legal review is completed or the binary is replaced by a clean rebuild without FDK-AAC.
