Setting up a Home Media Server with Roku

I found that mp4info is provided by mpeg4ip-utils in ubuntu.  I did an apt-get install mpeg4ip-utils and there was the correct mp4info.

HandBrake GUI didn't decrypt my DVD that I tried to rip.  HandBrake is supposed to use VLC to decrypt the DVD before coping it to the hard drive.  HandBrakeCLI did the trick.  Sure takes a long time to rip a dvd but know I know how.  It would be nice to get HandBrakeCLI working on the Ubuntu server but I can live with using my laptop for now.  I think the problem is that HandBrake can not find VLC which access libdvdcss.  Something to look into. Once HandBrake rips the dvd, I just need to scp a copy over to the server.
