Launching it from the command line also reveals this:

$ ghb 
** Message: 12:49:25.242: Couldn't initialize gstreamer. Disabling live preview.

I haven't used handbrake in ages, so I'm probably not going to be looking at this any time soon.

I don't think it'd be that hard to fix, it's just missing a declared dependency IMHO, such as gst_all_1.gstreamer or perhaps gst_all_1.gst-libav or both. Had I the time, I'd make an attempt at this
