On Debian-based systems one has two options:

a) Install from Debian testing:

  • add testing repo
  • pin all packages from Testing, except handbrake*, with negative priority
  • and hope it works without having conflicting dependencies.

b) Build from source:

  • Activate the deb-src repos in the sources,
  • install build tools: sudo apt install build-essential dpkg-dev
  • install the build dependencies of handbrake: sudo apt-get build-dep handbrake,
  • download the source archive from their website (or from Debian testing),
  • follow their build instructions,
  • recommended: build a deb package and install. (see Advice For New Users On Not Breaking Their Debian System and CheckInstall for more advice)
