    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 installing 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)
