Unfortunately the precompiled Handbrake binaries won't run on Fedora
14.  I may download the source later and try to compile it myself.

archive.org has quite a bit of free video material, I may have to
search through there a bit to see if there's anything interesting.  I
was hoping though to be able watch, say Iron Man 2 or the latest
Mythbusters without having to run out to a store and buy a DVD or wait
for Amazon to mail it to me.
