Handbrake video converter

Without using proprietary softwares how can you convert a video to another format ?, I have found a handy tool for doing it very well. According to the official site, it is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. Since I don't have Windows or Mac with me, I had to test it with Linux.
If you are using Debian Wheezy, you can directly use repositories. I tried compiling HandBrake, but it requires many dependencies, which is a pain to resolve sometimes.

Simply add this line to your sources list and update.

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free

Then run, apt-get update && apt-get install handbrake handbrake-gtk

 

Note: In version 0.9.9, wmv video conversion is not available.
