Thanks, most helpful.
I've been tinkering with HandBrake buildscripts for some time (since 1.6.0 or 1.7.0, can't remember now), having created a working script with the help of AlienBob's buildscript generator.
I then found another change in those later versions: one doesn't have to download any source files apart from HandBrake - that file will in itself fetch all necessary codecs &c during configuring.
EDIT: not having to download extra source files means that these two lines (#62-63 in the original) in the script can also be commented out/deleted:

Thanks for your comments.
Yes, I saw a behavior that you are pointing when I tried my first trial SlackBuild.
For example, when I put ffmpeg-6.1.1.tar.gz in $CWD, HandBrake's source downloaded ffmpeg-6.1.tar.gz automatically.
Anyway, since the package is working fine now with NVENC function on my slackware box, I'm happy now.
I created package on my slackware64-current environment and it's working without any trouble so far.
[note]
It's internal FFmpeg is version "7.0" and GUI is GTK4 base.
I prefer to use dark theme on my xfce desktop. However, Handbrake-1.8.0 didn't start with dark theme.
I edited "/usr/share/applications/fr.handbrake.ghb.desktop" like below.
Exec=ghb %f --> Exec=env GTK_THEME=Adwaita-dark ghb %f
Please see attached example screenshots. (Sorry. my $LANG is ja_JP.UTF-8.)
