This script is a hack to help me convert DVD's to MKV's. It's fragile, so please be careful.

Dependencies For Ubuntu

For Ubuntu 9.10 and greater, you can run the following commands to get all of your requirements.

# sudo gem install log4r
# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli mkvtoolnix transcode subtitleripper

Dependencies for Mac OS X

For Mac OS X, I've created packages for brew. Follow the links to install brew and then run the following:

# brew install mkvtoolnix
# brew install transcode
# brew install subtitleripper

You will still need to install Handbrake CLI by hand. Get it from the Handbrake CLI download page and copy it /usr/local/bin.
