Gordian Knot Alternatives
Gordian Knot is described as 'started out as a simple bitrate calculator for DivX encoding but has evolved to become an integrated package or tool for the entire process of DivX/XviD encoding'. There are more than 10 alternatives to Gordian Knot for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD and PortableApps.com. The best alternative is HandBrake, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Gordian Knot are Avidemux (Free, Open Source), VirtualDub (Free, Open Source), Shutter Encoder (Free, Open Source) and Adobe Media Encoder (Paid).
