Gordian Knot started out as a simple bitrate calculator for video encoding but has evolved to become an integrated package or tool for the entire process of DVD to AVI/MPEG-4 encoding. It combines multiple free software packages to perform the various tasks needed to rip, demux, encode, multiplex and split to size etc. It thereby attempts to combine most tasks with a single frontend to variable degrees of effectiveness.

Gordian Knot is normally distributed as a program pack and a codec pack. Here's a list of the integrated software Gordian Knot consists of:"'
# Main Gordian Knot Program
# VirtualDubMod
# NanDub
# AviSynth PlugIns
# Besweets + azidts
# DGMPGDec
# ChapterXtractor
# vStrip
# Robot4Rip
# VobSub Rip Wizard
# VobSub
# AviSynth"'

The Software & their versions are Package Version dependent. The "Codec pack" consists of all the supported necessary codecs for encoding with Gordian Knot.
