If you want to add a link, well then gosh darn it you'd better go ahead and add it because this is a wiki you halfwit.

• Beginner's Guide to BitTorrent - if you're completely new to torrenting, read this, and get µTorrent off the same page.
• AfterDawn - a huge compilation of guides covering pretty much everything to do with video.
• Doom9 - another vast collection of video and DVD-related guides.
• Videohelp - yet another great website for video conversions and help with various video conversion programs, also has info about tv capturing and basically everything else video related.

• µTorrent - our recommended torrent client for Windows users, reasonably lightweight and efficient with a small memory footprint.
• Azureus - full-featured Java torrent client, runs on any platform with Java but can be something of a performance hog.
• Deluge - essentially a remake of uTorrent, but open-source and multiplatform.
• MakeTorrent - tool for creating torrents.
• rTorrent - ncurses-based torrent client for *nix users; extremely lightweight without sacrificing useful features.
• Transmission - GUI client for *nix and OSX, now accepted everywhere and steadily growing in popularity.

• Combined Community Codec Pack - our recommended codec pack, which comes bundled with our recommended media player, Media Player Classic.
• Media Player Classic - lightweight freeware media player, with the appearance of WMP 6.
• MPlayer - a Linux media player with frontends for just about every other OS.
• VLC Media Player - multiplatform media player, available on pretty much every OS out there. Uses its own internal codecs, so no need for external codec packs.

• AcidRip - a DVD ripping Linux frontend for MEncoder.
• AutoGK - our recommended tool for ripping DVDs to XVID.
• Avidemux - another basic movie editing program, more modern features than VirtualDub but a less handsome interface. Handles VBR audio headers correctly.
• ConvertXtoDVD - extremely simple program for converting and burning DivX/XviD to DVD.
• HandBrake - multiplatform DVD ripper with support for more formats and containers, recommended for Mac users (as they get the best version of it). Only works with full DVDs, not individual VOB/MPEGs.
• ImgBurn - sick of Nero? ImgBurn is our recommended burning program, and is free to boot.
