Gordian Knot (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gordian Knot is an integrated package for DVD to DivX/XviD/x264 encoding. It combines multiple open source software packages to perform the various tasks needed to rip, demux, encode, multiplex and split to size.

It thereby attempts to combine most tasks with a single frontend to variable degrees of effectiveness. It is normally distributed as a program pack and a codec pack.

Distribution channels are highly variable due to pressures imposed by media cartels in different nations and degrees of legally defined fair use.

Gordian Knot is nowadays used by many people to backup their DVDs. The overall software might seem a little complicated for a beginner. Gordian Knot really helps in controlling the overall size of the output file.
