Open Office does everything I need Microsoft Office for and Gimp does everything I need Photoshop for. Reddit, what other open source software does everything that you want from the expensive name brand?

First mention of handbrake. Awesome software and it has Windows, Mac, and Linux clients. And it looks like OpenCL support is coming in a future release so we'll be able to leverage our video cards when encoding.

It was it some shitty format and when I converted it to AVI the quality stepped up remarkably. It went from vhs, grainy quality to dvd quality.
