Handbrake is an awesome program. I haven't used it for a while, but I was using it a lot on my Linux desktop machine a while back.

These days I find myself using AviDemux for simple stuff like fixing audio sync without re-encoding.

There are many great open source programs that are cross platform. People who don't check them out have no idea what they're missing... lol
