Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) is a utility to process and encode video (and
audio). It is supported for the new version of Gnome. It actively develops for
the GNU/Linux platform. A semi-nightly rpm release is made
(https://build.handbrake.fr/). There is a spec file listed in its source code
(http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/gtk/ghb.spec). All of the source can be
found on its web-site (http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser). Detailed build
instruction (though slightly outdated) can be found documenting building,
specifically on GNU/Linux, for Fedora and Ubuntu
(http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/doc/BUILD-Linux). It is licensed as GNU
GPL version 2 (http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/COPYING).
If I attempt to package this after its 9.5 release - which should be relatively
soon and imminent - will it meet the requirements of Rpmfusion. I do know that
since it depends on certain things that are unpackageable for Fedora's
repositories that it will not be acceptable there. I, with rpmfusion
repositories installed plus libdvdcss, am able to install the semi-nightly
builds and use them. Thus, I believe that all of the
license inappropriate dependencies for Fedora must have been met by Rpmfusion. I
believe that packaging this and putting into Rpmfusion would be a great addition
to Fedora. I believe that most Fedora desktop users use Rpmfusion, so this as an
addition to Rpmfusion will really expand the presence of Handbrake for Fedora
user's to acquaint themselves.

From memory, I thought someone had begun this, and indeed, the review
request is closed: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679
see also:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.rpmfusion.devel/6397
One thing to note is that rpmfusion parallels fedora guidelines except
for allowing certain specific things. Hence this means no internal
libraries used, where there is already a system library. This might be a
certain amount of work to ensure removal of internal libraries, and use
of the fedora/rpmfusion packaged ones.
[Updated libraries
Besides x264, updated libraries include libsamplerate, libogg, xvidcore,
libmpeg2, lame, faac, and ffmpeg's libavcodec, libavformat, and libswscale]
So, if you have something, put it up for review.

It was once proposed in RPMFusion. But we gave up. As far as I
remember upstream wasn't very cooperative. (Was it them who were
calling people names?)

I tried to package it in 2008 and chatted with the developers over
IRC; I must admit it was the least pleasant experience I ever had
with an upstream, and later I gave up.
I remember someone else trying again later (IIRC it was Jared Wilson),
then I've probably seen a couple other attempts, including the review
request linked above.
Just to highlight the kind of climate there (nicks changed):
Nov 26 17:09:18 zzz You know, Linux really needs to get rid of these
stupid package systems with thier daft limitations
Nov 26 17:09:25 aaa yep
Nov 26 17:09:28 zzz more troulbe than they are worth
Nov 26 17:09:35 aaa they also need to put an end to this distro crap
Nov 26 17:10:23 aaa it's absurd that, when running the same OS, a
program will compile on one box and not another because some jackass
idiot of a distro maintainer didn't symlink the right version of a key
library.
Nov 26 17:11:18 aaa not to mention the incredible amount of time
wasted with this bullshit, guiding a dozen people through a dozen
different packagings of the same app
Nov 26 17:11:40 aaa Most of which never get posted because of said limitations
Anyway, I'd love to have HandBrake in rpmfusion so feel free to check
out yourself, after two years maybe something has changed.

To all, I had not yet started the process, juts the checking of the way that
handbrake went about creating its nightly builds. I tried building a package
from source and it started downloading those libraries. I immediately though
realized that there would be a lot of work that I hadn't foreseen. I, at first
glance, thought that would be a nice and easy integration into rpmfusion...
alas.
Messina, I am exploring your web-site.
